Barba is the boss of Three Eye Rock Palace in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Barba is a long bodied serpent-like dragon that lives in lava.

[edit] Battle

Barba as it appears in-game

The room in which Barba is encountered has three lava pits. It rises out of any of these before an attack. When it rises from the lava, it stops at a height as high as Link's maximum natural jump height. It spits a stream of unblockable fireballs at Link, then sinks down into the lava before reappearing from another pit. Barba's only weak point is its head. Link is able to attack the head when Barba rises up from the lava, but he can also use the Jump Spell to damage it more easily. Barba's fireballs can be blocked with the help of the Reflect Spell. It is immune to the Thunder Spell and Fire Spell.

[edit] Name discrepancy

The name Barba is a mistranslation of Volvagia. In the remake of The Adventure of Link for Game Boy Advance, its name was changed to Volvagia.
