How to Beat the Sludge Like
Sidon will give you some tips before the fight begins, that he can use his power of water to envelop and shield Link, and that it can then be used as a weapon to attack.
Approach this the way you would any other Like, by attempting to get it to open its mouth and expose its vulnerable point in the center of it. As the Like is covered in sludge, you'll need to use water to remove it and stop it from using it as a shield. You can do this by either having Sidon envelop you in a bubble of water, or you can use Splash Fruit to remove its armor. Each time you remove its armor, let it start to attack then wait for the purple bubble in the middle of its mouth to appear and hit it. This is the weak spot.
Once it's taken enough hits, it will disappear and remerge covered in sludge again. You'll just need to remove its armor each time and follow the same pattern of attacks.
