*Sword Beam Method: Shoot the fire rod at a target and then quickly shoot sword beams during the hit animation caused by the fire rod.  
*[[Sword Beam]] Method: Shoot the [[Fire Rod]] at a target and then quickly shoot [[Sword Beam]]s during the hit animation caused by the [[Fire Rod]].  


*Arrows Method: Pull  out the Bow and then position Link approximately 4-5 tiles away from the target. Press Y to shoot an arrow and then '''immediately''' menu to Fire Rod during the drawback animation. After the menu closes again press Y quickly shoot the fire rod so that the fire shot hits first followed by the arrow after a short delay. This method has very tight timing and if the fire rod shot and arrow hit the target at the same time no extra damage will be done.  
*[[Cane of Somaria]] Method: Place a [[Somaria Block]] close to the target and then use the [[Fire Rod]]. Explode the explode the [[Somaria Block]] right after the [[Fire Rod]] shot hits and the damage should be doubled. This method requires frequent menu changes so its generally easier to shoot the [[Fire Rod]] some distance away and then change to [[Somaria]] while the shot is in flight. This makes it easier to time the [[Somaria Block]] explosion after the [[Fire Rod]] hits.
 
*[[Arrow]]s Method: Pull  out the [[Bow]] and then position Link approximately 4-5 tiles away from the target. Press {{B|Y}} to shoot an [[arrow]] and then '''immediately''' menu to [[Fire Rod]] during the drawback animation.
