Michael R.

I've been playing video games for over 20 years, spanning everything from early PC titles to modern open-world games. I started Switchblade Gaming to publish the kind of accurate, well-researched guides I always wanted to find — built on primary sources, tested in-game, and kept up to date after patches. I currently focus on Minecraft and Pokémon GO.

He rewinds to full HP the second you kill him. Exact Chronos HP math, post-April changes, and the only boons that still work against him.

Vah Naboris isn’t 5 separate rooms — it’s 3 dials sharing one wiring diagram. Get the order right, and Thunderblight Ganon stops being a coin-flip.
