Talk:Jalhalla vs Boolossus/@comment-27921095-20200103114833/@comment-44240021-20200103131411

Basically, the "scaling to Link" is because Link lifts Jalhalla with the same difficulty he lifts those boulders, whereas Boolossus can be moved with the Poltergust, which in the first game was significantly weaker than Link with the Power Bracelets.

The "light" thing was also hard to justify, but in multiple circumstances Boos are destroyed in light, and in some they aren't. Light is definitely enough to stun them, so at the very least they're comparable to Jalhalla. It's a bit inconsistent, but Boos have generally shown to be more easily defeated by light than Poes have, so that's why I gave Jalhalla the win.

The Poe's lanterns and the Poltergust's magic also appear to come from similar sources, so that's why the lanterns were mentioned. You can't see the health bars of Boolossus' boos, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say that it at least damages them.
