This fight can be quite frustrating – especially if you don’t fully understand the mechanics. I spent a few continue tokens figuring out the mechanics of the fight, and what works best. Based on my experiences, here’s how the fight works and here’s what I recommend:

His rotation is usually something like the following:
1) Eyes look to the right, right foot stomps, single wave on right, doesn’t hit left platform
2) Eyes look to the left, left foot stomps, single wave on left, doesn’t hit right platform
3) Jumps up, double wave (one right after another) on all 3 platforms
4) Moves head to look in both directions then opens mouth and becomes vulnerable

Dodging Waves of Pain
His eyes look in the direction of where he will stomp!
If you find it necessary to dodge waves, I recommend dodging into the waves. Position yourself so you’re able to do this without landing in poison.
If you need to dodge the two-wave attack, make sure you have 100% endurance(2 dodges) available, or else you’re going to get hurt. Dodge from one end of the platform to the other, and then back again. This is how I dodge the entirety of both waves.

Jewel Shards
You need to throw a jewel shard into his mouth right when he opens it, or chances are you’re too late.
His mouth stays open for four seconds.

Missed the jewel shard?
If you don’t throw the jewel shard in in time, he does a sweeping tongue attack. Dodge in the direction that the tongue is coming from.

I find that it is easiest to dodge the tongue by standing on the platform that will be hit by the tongue first. This is usually(always?) the right-most platform. Right when the frog turns his head to the right, dodge once. Congratulations – you have dodged the tongue attack.

General Strategy
What I recommend is making sure that one or two jewel shards are on the center platform already, and stand on the stones surrounded by disappearing lily pads. Wait for his rotation to reach the point where he’s about to open his mouth.

You can’t get jewel shards when he’s about to do it, so make sure you have some ready. I recommend not picking them up until he starts opening his mouth.

Hit him in with the jewel shards, and if everything went well, he should be dazed. Everyone should smack him with your weapon. When he gets the invulnerability buff on him, everyone should back away – unless you don’t have any more jewel shards.

If you have no jewel shards, one person should stay and hit him a few times after he goes invulnerable. You’ll get one or two jewel shards, often before he does another attack. You may still need to dodge a wave attack though.

Then just go back to the safe stone and wait until he’s about to open his mouth again. Repeat until he’s dead.

G’luck everyone and have fun out there!
