Waterblight Ganon
Waterblight Ganon is the boss of Divine Beast Vah Ruta, fought with Mipha's people after the elephant is boarded. It uses a spear and ice. Cryonis is the answer to both. The eye in the head is the weak point, the same idea as a Hinox, just across a wet room.
Phase one, the spear
Raise a Cryonis pillar between you and the thrust. The spear shatters on the ice and the blight staggers. Shoot the eye, then run in while it is down. A spear of your own reaches it before a short sword does. If you have no Cryonis block ready, a side hop still catches the thrust as a flurry rush.
The first blight you fight has less health than the fourth. Waterblight is often the first, so it is the short version of this pattern. The Master Sword, if it is already awake, glows inside a Divine Beast and hits a blight harder than it hits a camp.
Phase two, the flood
The floor floods and it throws blocks of ice. Cryonis lifts a block. Stasis freezes that block, and a hit sends it back. A block to the body or a follow-up arrow to the eye knocks it down again. Swim in and melee during the knockdown. Standing in the water without a pillar means the next ice cube has a clear line.
Mipha's Grace is the reward after the monk, not during this room, so you do not have the free revive yet unless another champion ability is already unlocked. Eat before the flood. Shock arrows are a bad idea in this water. Ice arrows are optional, because Cryonis is doing the element for you.
