Sinister Blusterwing Boss Battle in Donkey Kong Bananza
There are a collective three rounds in the boss battle with Sinister Blusterwing, with each getting progressively difficult. The last round unlocks the boss’s true potential, where you will need to be quick on your feet. Let us take a look at all the rounds in this boss battle.
Round 1

Weakness: Wings
The round begins with Sinister Blusterwing eating a disc, powering it up, and shielding its wings. The first round is relatively easy, considering it does not attack too frequently. One of its primary attacks is shooting a straight line of gooey liquid. This solidifies, which you can then use as a projectile. Approach the line and grab a piece of the terrain.
Now throw the grabbed piece at either wing. Repeat this on both wings, and the sinister blusterwing will drop to the ground. This is your chance to inflict some damage on it. Depending upon the power and timing of your strikes, you may have to repeat the previous step once more. Once the health bar of the boss drops to half, it will trigger the second round.
Round 2

The boss will break the ground and fly down where we will need to follow it. The boss uses the same attack pattern, but this time around, the attacks will be quicker and more frequent. You can use your elephant bananza form to your advantage. Using this form, you can inhale the line of liquid that the boss shoots down by holding the ‘ZR’ button.
Once you have stored enough, release the button, aim towards the wing of the boss, and press ‘ZR’ to throw the projectile at it. Repeat this on both wings, and the boss will drop down on the floor. Now use this opportunity and inflict damage on the Sinister Blusterwing till its health reaches close to zero.
Round 3

After this, the boss will break the floor once more and try to escape again. You will once again follow it to the last layer for the final round of battle. This time, the boss will shoot strings of lightning in a path that you won’t be able to grab and throw like the previous rounds. It will also erratically shoot tornadoes in your direction, which you will have to dodge.
To beat this round, you will transform into the elephant bananza form and use the inhale power again. Revolving around the arena, you will notice floating chunks of magma. With the inhale power, store the chunks of magma in your trunk, aim it at the wings of the boss, and shoot at it. Take your time and aim properly, as the boss will keep moving around.
Once you damage any one of the wings, its movements will slow down, making it easier to throw the chunks at the next wing. Beware that the sinister blustering will shoot more strikes of lightning at you. You can detect the locations of these by seeing the pattern glow on the ground and dodging them. Once you break both wings, the boss will drop to the floor. It will hurl strong forces of wind towards you to prevent you from approaching closer.
Hold B to use the dive punch and fly downwards to inflict the last piece of damage and finally defeat Sinister Blusterwing.
