Legend of Zelda: Opaque Essence/Vaati(First Fight)

Vaati is the dreadful wind mage responsible for holding The Maidens as prisoners. He knows where each of them are held, and so our hero needs to take him down in order to learn where they are imprisoned. And so, challenging him in his throne room, a giant mirror on one of the walls, they battle, but he retreats, leaving behind only a hint to the location of one of them.

===Strategy===
For the first half of the fight, Vaati stands tall, wearing a regal, dark robe, a superior attitude throughout the fight. The arena is a fairly standard circular arena, with steps leading up to a much smaller platform hosting his throne. Vaati himself tends to stand in place as he summons up sharp whirlwinds to pepper you from a distance. These require careful maneuvering as you approach and attack. If you're close enough, Vaati will switch to using more close ranged spells, including a cyclone that strikes in a ring around him, a blade seemingly made of wind that slashes in a short combo in front of him, and him leaping upwards before crashing down, unleashing a shockwave of wind, and teleporting to another part of the room.
After taking out half his health, a cutscene plays where he's driven to his knees, gasping and panting, pained. He seems shocked he was hurt this much. Then, he turns to his mirror, a scowl on his face. He reaches for it, and a dark magic travels from his hand to it. The mirror seems to stretch towards him, bubbling with some arcane energy, before it shatters, the shards splintering into shards as a Dark Being lunges forwards and onto the field. Vaati grins and stands upright, before fleeing up to his throne, sitting back and watching the fight.
What follows is a battle between the player and another player, the stairway to Vaati's throne blocked by dark magic (which resembles a mirror-like surface). As such, there's no real strategy against this fight, for players will have to adapt what other players will do. After a battle against the Dark Being, they fade away, and Vaati, in a fit of anger, flees from the throne room.
