The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess boss guide by Daveizcool
First off, I want 2 say that this game is one of the greatest adventures for
the Wii. I also want 2 say that it's not ok to copy this FAQ. Please dont copy
it! It is property of me, Daveizcool. In this FAQ, I will describe all of the
bosses in TP and how to defeat them, as well as their difficulty (IMO). One
star is easy, 2 is Ok, 3 is kinda hard, 4 is hard, and 5 is pretty darn hard.
ok, here is the order of my FAQ:
1. Forest Temple bosses
2. Goron Mines bosses
3. Lakebed Temple bosses
4. Arbiters Grounds bosses
5. Snowpeak Ruins bosses
6. Temple of Time bosses
7. City in the Sky bosses
8. Twilight Palace bosses
9. Hyrule castle bosses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================================
Temple 1: Forest temple bosses*****
===================================
Mid-boss: Ook the baboon Difficulty: *
------------------------ -----------
This baboon's name is Ook, and he has an item u need. It's called the gale
boomerang, and u need it 2 defeat the boss of this temple. When u come into
this room, Ook will launch the gale boomerang at the ceiling and a few baba
serphants will fall. go kill them, then turn 2 face Ook, who is patting his
butt on top of the pillar. he begins 2 hop around on the tikis, which are very
unstable. when he stops 2 dance or throw the boomerang at u, knock into the
pillar. he'll fall of and thats ur chanse 2 smack that bootey of his. he gives
a cry, then hops back on the tiki. repeat this 1 or 2 more times, the he will
slam into the tiki. a bug will fly off his head and explode, returning Ook back
2 normal. he's embarrosed, and hops away. but he 4got the gale boomerang! go
grab it and use it 2 get out of Ook's room.
Big boss: Twilit parasite Diababa Difficulty: **
--------------------------------- -----------
u walk into a huge room with gross purple water in the center. Bubbles start to
form in this water, and out pops 2 giant deku baba heads! After some experience
with using the gale boomerand through the whole dungeon, u should kno that u
can lock onto 2 targets at once. do this with first a bombling (those bug-
things that blow up) and then one of the heads (if u lock onto the head first
nothing will happen) if u do it rite, the head will explode and go back in the
water. do the same with the other head. Good job, u beat the temple!...is what
i would love 2 say. after waiting a second, the water will bubble again and a
bigger head will come out. it roars at u, and u see a tongue with an eyeball on
it! this is the weak spot. however, all of the bomblings left... for now, just
run away from diababa's few attacks. then, you hear a familiar monkey calling.
its Ook, the monkey you defeated (yet helped at the same time...weird) a while
ago! he's holding a bombling, so u know what to do! lock onto Ook, then one of
diababa's heads, but i reccomend the main, middle head. if timed right, the
monster will swallow the bomb and fall 2 the ground. now is time 2 give that
eye a few slashes! after some hurting, diababa will raise its head and start
spraying some weird kind of slime at u. dodge it, or use the gale boomerang to
stop him. then lock onto Ook again and use the same tecnique. eventually,
diababa will give up and then die. his eye falls off of his tongue, revealing a
heart container! dont forget to take this. diababa will explode, and u will get
a piece of a fused shadow. good job! now u really beat the temple!
================================
Temple 2: Goron Mines bosses****
================================
Mid-boss: Dangoro the goron guard Difficulty: **
--------------------------------- -----------
when u walk into this guys room, he will imediately challenge u. if u beat him,
he will give u the hero's bow (if your an actuall zelda fan, u would kno that
this is a bow and arrow set)there is only 1 way 2 beat this fat goron, and its
easy. when hes about 2 attack he will raise his arms exposing his big belly.
This is his weak spot! hit it repeadively, then he will begin 2 roll. get ready
2 catch him (oh, and u should really have ur iron boots on 4 this part) after y
grab him, u will throw him and if ur close enough, he will land in the lava.
repeat this 2 more times and he will let u pass to a door. this leads you 2 the
heros bow! try it out by shooting the rope that holds the door behind the
treasure chest. another path is open.
Big boss: Twilit Igniter Fyrus Difficulty: ***
------------------------------ -----------
when u step in this room u see a giant black...thing in chains. it is sleeping
and if u go close (link is soooo smart, dont u think?) he will wake up, then he
will pull on the chains until they finally break, then go on fire! hes got rage
issues. Fyrus begins 2 chase u, but if ur far enough u should launch an arrow
at the crystal on his head. he will give a yell, then start running around
aimlessly. put on your iron boots (the floor is magnetic) and pull on the
chains. then fyrus will fall and now its time to slash his head. he stands up
and goes on fire again. repeat this 2 or 3 more times, then he will give up.
the crystal on his head will explode, revealing a heart container! the dark
around this guy will also explode, and it will turn into another fused shadow
piece. the mass u just fought will turn into a goron (with hair!!) so go and
talk to him if u want. he cant remember a thing, not even the fight you just
had with him 2 seconds ago! good job, u beat another temple!!
==================================
Temple 3: Lakebed Temple bosses***
==================================
Mid-boss: Deku Toad Difficulty: **
------------------- -----------
welcome to yet another huge room, where a few things fall from the sky. help!
the cave is breaking! well, not really. fight the toados that fell and then
talk 2 midna when her icon flashes. she has a bad felling and she thinks u
should take a look around. go check if the cave really is breaking, and u see a
huge toad-like thing. some eggs fall off of her back, then she notices u. she
burps then falls 2 the floor. she shakes off a bunch of baby toados, so spin
attack 2 kill them. she jumps up really high, then tries 2 fall on top of u.
RUN!!! if she misses u, she will get exhausted and stick her tongue out. go
slash it. she will then lift her head, then croak. if u have bomb arrows set,
then fire a bomb in her mouth. she will fall, then stick out her tongue again!
slash it. repeat this 1 more time, the she will croak (literally!) and burp up
sludge. when it clears away, it will reveal a chest, containing the clawshot! i
think this is one of the best weapons in the game.
Big boss: Twilit Aquatic Morpheel Difficulty: ****
--------------------------------- -----------
This boss is some-what related 2 Morpha, who u fight in Ocarina in the water
temple. U appear in a room full of water and there's only 1 way 2 go: down. put
on your iron boots and drop 2 the bottom of the room. as u fall, notice a
tentacle lazily waving back and forth on the floor. what is that? wait until u
hit the floor. when u do, an eyeball will appear in the tentacle, then it will
notice u. it goes back underground and lots of other tentacles will rise from
the ground, along with a mouth with a mouth inside that!...gross. the battle
begins and the eye comes out of the ground again and appears randomly inside
one of the tentacles. when it does, lock onto it and clawshot it. then give it
a good wack from your sword.it will hop inside the mouth and millions of bomb
fish will come out of the mouth. try 2 avoid them while trying 2 clawshot the
eye. if u clawshot a bombfish, quickly get rid of it! after hitting the eye 2
more times, the head will sink back into the ground. it looks like u won, but u
didn't. sorry if i got ur hopes up. Morpheel will come out of the ground again-
this time with its whole body!take off the iron boots and try 2 keep up with
morpheel's eye again, which is on his back near his head this time. if u
succesfully clawshot it u will pull urself 2 him. start stabbing that eye!
after 4 slashes morpheel will throw u off of his back. do the same thing but
try 2 avoid the front of his mouth. after clawshotting onto his back with a
total of 3 times, morpheel will go wild and smash into the wall--ow! this
causes a crack 2 form in the wall, and all the water gets sucked out.as u can
guess, the eye explodes revealing a heart container and morpheel's body
explodes revealing the last fused shadow piece!Great job, u beat another temple!
=======================================
Temple 4: Arbiter's Grounds bosses*****
=======================================
Mid-boss: Death Sword Difficulty: ***
--------------------- -----------
by now, u obviously know that u can change from wolf to man whenever u want.
this mid-boss tests if you mastered that! U step into a very dark room, with
only a sword held down by several ropes. go over and swipe one of the ropes.
seemingly, the "sword will get mad" and burn all the other ropes holding it
down. when the battle starts, it looks like theres no way 2 beat this foe...but
there is! transform into a wolf and turn ur sences on. u see some kind of
skeleton/ghost thing holding the sword. the only way 2 hurt him is wait 4 him 2
strike at u. he will turn solid and now u begin 2 bite him. keep on pressing A
until he throws u off of him. quickly transform into human and take out either
ur bow or clawshot. he will fly around and then u hit him with either weapon.
death sword will begin 2 spin around the room, then appear next 2 u and swing
the sword at u. now's ur chance 2 swing ur own sword at him. slash his head and
he will fall, allowing u 2 hit him some more. he will begin 2 fly around again.
use the same tecnique and then Death sword will scream and turn into bats or
bugs or whatever those things are. they fly away, and a passage opens. step
inside and open the chest, which has the spinner in it! the spinner is an item
that lets u ride on grooved walls. it also lets u ride on sand without sinking!
pretty impressive. Use it to leave this room.
Big boss: Twilit Fossil Stallord Difficulty: ****
-------------------------------- -----------
this guy is like a giant dead dragon stuck in the ground. like always, u walk
into a huge room with a skeleton lying in the middle. Zant appears, and he
tells u that he's supprised that u r still alive...for now.he stabs a twilit
sword into the beasts head and the skeleton comes back 2 life!!!bring out the
spinner and ride over 2 stallord's spine and press b when u get over there. his
spine breaks(literally) and he gets mad, like they all do. this time hitting
his spine wont be so easy! he salled a bunch of staltroops 2 protect him, who
dont hur u but r very annoying. after smacking a few away with ur spinner u r
able 2 hit his spine again. repeat this 1 more time and Stallord will crumble 2
bits. all of the sand sinks and u step into the pit where it all was. go 2 the
center and notice a groove here. put in ur spinner and keep on spinning untill
u see a cut scene. but stallord is back 2 life and now hes just a giant
floating head. he knocks u off of the pillar and now u have 2 climb all the way
back up on ur spinner.during the middle of ur climb u will see stallord again,
checking up on u. when he sees that ur almost 2 the top, hes not happy. he
begins 2 launch fireballs at u. timely, press b 2 jump off 2 the other wall.
repeat this 3 more times and u will be right next 2 the skull! quickly press b
and smack into him. DO NOT PRESS A DURING THE JUMPING MARATHON OR U WILL JUST
FALL!!!!! as i was saying, the head falls and now its time 2 hit the sword.
after Stallord's head rises again, go back on the wall and attempt 2 climb up
again. this time wont be so easy-u have 2 avoid some spiked spinners while
climbing this time! repeat the steps 2-3 more times 2 defeating stallord and
soon u will triumph. the sword explodes, revealing a heart container and a door
opens. this leads 2 the mirror chamber!
*SPOILER!* This guy may be the defeated Volvagia, boss of the fire temple in
Ocarina! does anyone see a similarity? such as the song, horns, and hairdo?
===================================
Temple 5: Snowpeak Ruins bosses****
===================================
Mid-boss: Darkhammer Difficulty: ***
-------------------- -----------
He dosnt have a hammer, yet hes still called this... i dont know why. anyway,
hes weilding a weapon u will need(and love :P) which is the ball-and-chain. He
will swing it at u, and this battle might take a while because u really dont
know when hes gonna throw it at u. my best guess is when u r really close 2
him, but not close enough that u get hit by it while its swinging. when he does
eventually throw it at u, circle around him and hit his tail. obviously, this
isnt a human in an armor suit! after a few slashes he will get the ball-and-
chain back and start swinging it again. repeat these steps 3-4 more times and
darkhammer will die. grab the ball and chain, then move onto the next room. the
ball and chain lets u smash through all kinds of stuff, including ice walls!
Big boss: Twilit Ice Mass Blizzeta Difficulty: ***
---------------------------------- -----------
The nice yeti, Yeta, u used 2 know has transformed into this monster because of
the mirror of twilight shard. she creates a huge case of ice around her, which
LOOKS unbreakable. Not to the ball-and-chain! Start swinging the ball-and-chain
as Blizzeta comes close 2 u, then let go of it. Part of her ice breaks off, and
she starts spinning out of controll.Hit the ice again, at least 7 more times.
when u do, Blizzeta smacks into the wall, screaming. She makes a new ice
encasement around her, along with ice weapons following her. when they all fall
down, try 2 destroy as many ice blocks u can. then, they will form a circle
around u. blizzeta is about 2 fall in the center of it. Hurry and get out of
the circle! when Blizzeta falls, smash her with the ball-and-chain. repeat this
2 more times, then Blizzeta will return 2 Yeta again. Yeto, Yeta's husband,
charges into the room, then the 2 yetis start saying lovet-dovey blah blah
blah.when they hug, millions of hearts surround them, until finally the heart
container pops out! u also get the mirror of twilight shard 4 all ur troubles.
====================================
Temple 6: Temple of Time bosses*****
====================================
Mid-boss: Darknut Difficulty: ****
----------------- -----------
Sure, this guy has a weird name, but dont mess with him. hes a crazy fighter.
an easy way 2 beat this guy is 2 use hidden skill #5 (Mortal Draw) Put ur sword
away and when he gets close press a. then use a shield attack on him. if it
works, u will be able 2 use the helm splitter. immediately use this and then 4
simple slashes.keep on repeating this untill all of darknut's armor falls off.
he throws his huge sword at u and takes out a smaller, lighter one. Change of
plans. Instead of using mortal draw and helm slpitter, use the back slice. this
will stun him, then give him 4 sword slashes. the battle will be wild, but
eventually u will come out on top. A gate opens, revealing a chest (as always)
open it 2 find the dominion rod! this handy tool will bring any statue to life.
use this on the statue by the window.U will need him.
Big boss: Twilit Arachnid Armagohma Difficulty: ***
----------------------------------- -----------
What do ya know: gohma is in this game too! but they changed her a lot- they
made her an actual spider. heres the way 2 defeat her. have ur dominion rod out
and ur heros bow set 2 b.Armagohma will begin 2 walk around. get an arrow
ready. when she stops she will open her eye. this is ur chance 2 hit her! after
u do, she will fall. quickly get the dominion rod out and use it on one fo the
giant statues in the corners.press b 2 pound her stomach. Armagohma will begin
2 walk up the walls back on the ceiling where she lays some eggs (as always)
get rid of all the baby gohmas. after u kill them all take out another arrow
and shoot her eye again. U have 2 do this for a total of 3 times. after her
body blows up, her eye is still alive! it crawls away from u, so shoot it with
an arrow. she explodes 4 the final time, revealing a heart container and a
mirror of twilight shard. only one more to go!
====================================
Temple 7: City in the Sky bosses****
====================================
Mid-boss: Aeralfoes Difficulty: ***
------------------- -----------
As always, u step into a room that is quiet...too quiet. Something zooms behind
u, then approaches u from the front. he may look funny, but this is a foe 2 be
aware of. This is the Aeralfoes! Start with taking out ur clawshot-his shield
looks just like a clawshot medalion! when hes about 2 charge at u, he holds up
his shield. this is ur chance 2 fire the clawshot! the clawshot grabs onto him
and u give him a few slashes. if u want, use a sield attack and then a helm
splitter 2 get rid of his helmit! after some slashes he takes off 4 the skies
again. folow the same tecnique as before. after u hit him this time, he will
fly out of the room through one of the windows. Be careful at choosing which
one he comes out of! its always randome. when u hear wings beating rapidly,
urry up and clawshot his shield again. a few slashes later, Aeralfoes falls. a
secret passage opens, and u clawshot up to it. inside is another clawshot-
making your weapon a double clawshot!! double clawshot ur way out of this room.
Big boss: Twilit Dragon Argarok Difficulty: ****
------------------------------- -----------
this is my favorite boss personally. at the top of the city, a dragon swoops
down at u. he just missed u! this is Argarok, and hes ready 2 fight. clawshot
onto one of the pillars, from 1 pillar to the next. Argarok gets curiouse, so
he begins 2 follow u. when u get 2 the top of a pillar, clawshot onto his tail
and quickly put on ur iron boots 2 bring down the dragon. clawshot back 2 the
tower and repeat this 2 more times. after that, half of his armor falls off and
u see a crystal on his back. thats his weak spot! all of the armor flies off of
him, and it starts 2 rain. this brings out the peahats, the flying plant things
u clawshot onto. clawshot back up the pillar and then clawshot onto a Peahat.
watchout-Argarok begins to shoot fire at u! clawshot from peahat 2 peahat,
until argarok gets exhausted. clawshot onto his back and give him a few stabs
from ur sword!he throws u off of him, and u have 2 climb the tower again.
repeat this 1 more time. the final time u do this while swinging on the
peahats, argarok's brain gets bigger and he turns around and blasts fire right
in ur direction! quickly turn around and clawshot on the peahat thats behind u.
then he will get exhausted again and clawshot onto his back for the final time
and give him some last sword strikes.Argarok begins 2 scream and then he
explodes, revealing the last mirror shard piece and another heart container!
now it's off to the mirror chamber to get to the palace of twilight.
======================================
Temple 8 Palace of Twilight bosses****
======================================
Mid-bosses: Phantom Zants Difficulty: ***
------------------------- -----------
I put mid-bosses because u fight phantom Zant twice. good news:hes easy both
times! ROUND 1: Phantom Zant appears and he sends a ball of Twilight into the
sky, making millions of twilit keeses (the bat things) defeat them all, then
phantom zant will start 2 make another ball. this is ur chance 2 hit him! after
a while, he will teleport somewhere else and make another ball. defeat the
enemies that come out then hit zant with one last row of hits (depending on if
u used a jump attack) he will explode into millions of black fog pieces, so
steer clear. hit the giant hand thats coming out of the ground and itll let go
of a ball. this is called a sol. midna explains that its like the sun.carry the
sol back 2 the place where u entered, while avoiding the hand that was holfing
it.he will try and take it away from u. ROUND 2: PZ(phantom zant)is back and
hes got a new trick up his sleve. first, he sends out a bunch of twilit baba
serphants. defeat at least half of them, then the rest will dissapear. PZ ill
begin teleporting all over the place. My strategy is just stand in the middle
and wait until he comes 2 u. chasing him around wont do any goo. Sometimes, he
will begin 2 make a ball of energy, then teleport somewere else. just stick
with my plan and dont go chasing him! after u beat him again, he will explode
into another cloud of twilight. get the sol again and return 2 the place where
u began,while avoiding the hand again, and u will get the master sword of
light! this will kill almost any twilight enemy in one shot! however, it only
works in the Palace of Twilight.
Big boss: Usurper King Zant Difficulty: ****
--------------------------- ----------------
Ok, this is a long explanation, but im almost done so i'll make this as fast
as i can. first, u fight Zant in the place where u fought Diababa, the first
boss. fire the gale boomerang at him, then give him 2 sets of slashing.
Zant then takes u 2 where u fought Dangoro, the midboss for Goron Mines. He
begins jumping and tilting the stage, so run up 2 him so he dissapears. u might
want 2 wear the iron boots 4 safety. keep on running 2 him until he starts
shooting fire balls at u. when hes done, he needs 2 take a breather, so give
him a slash or 4. repeat this 1 more time.
Put on ur zora armor and iron boots, cuz now ur in the lair of Morpheel. a
giant zant head comes out of the ground, and it opens 2 reveal zant inside.
wait until he stops shooting fire balls at u, then clawshot him out of the head
and start giving hi a few slashes. he appears in the zant head again, and the
head sinks. now, 4 zant heads come out of the ground. only 1 random head has
zant in it. if u catch up with him, begin slashing him.
Take off the iron boots and zora armor. U are now in Ook's room. use the same
tecnique u used for beating the mad monkey: slam into the tiki poles twice.
this makes zant fall, so slash him now. repeat this 1-2 more times.
You're probably getting dizzy now, but this is the 2nd-to-last place. u find
yourself in Blizzeta's room. Zant made himself grow, and u have 2 dodge him.
when he falls, take out the ball-and-chain and smash his foot. If u hit him, he
will shrink to a size smaller than u! give him some hits from ur sword, then
use the same tecnique when he grows again. do this 1 or 2 more times.
The final place Zant takes u is outside Hyrule castle town, where zant turns
his hands into blades! get ready 2 block and do some counter attacks like
crazy! keep on hitting zant like crazy, too. when he starts spinning, give him
a spin attack of your own! he will stop, then take some deep breaths. time to
hit him! when zant finally falls, u appear back in the throne room, where Midna
gets the fused shadows back and kills zant!!! lol, i love that part. zant blows
up, revealing the last heart container. if u got all the heart pieces, this
should be your last heart. congratz!
=======================================
Final temple: Hyrule castle Bosses*****
=======================================
Boss 1: Ganon's Puppet Zelda Difficulty: ****
---------------------------- -----------
Ganondorf possesed zelda and now u have 2 beat her up. If u played ocarina and
beat Ganondorf, u know how 2 fight Puppet Zelda. Just hit back lightning balls
she shoots at u 3 times with your sword. if she makes a triforce on the ground,
run away cuz it really hurts u. Also watch out for her sword swipe move.
Boss 2: Dark Beast Ganon Difficulty: *****
------------------------ -----------
This is Ganondorf's beast self. to beat him, u have 2 shoot an arrow at the
crystal on his head. then get out of his way because hes gonna slide across the
ground and slam you. then hit the hole thats on his stomach. do this about 1 or
2 more times. when the arrows stop working, transform into a wolf and when
ganon charges at u hold down a, then pres either left or right on the control
stick.turn back 2 human and hit him one last time!
Boss 3: Dark Rider Ganondorf Difficulty: ****
---------------------------- -----------
this is Ganondorf riding his evil horse.his only attack is calling upon phantom
riders, which just ram into u. U r riding epona, and Zelda has 2 fire arrows at
Ganondorf. That just stuns him, then u have 2 hit him with a spin attack. Do
this up to 3-4 times. if u fall off of epona then quickly get back on.
**FINAL BOSS: Dark Lord Ganondorf** Difficulty: *****
----------------------------------- -----------
The grand finale is you fighting Ganondorf in combat! If u bought magic armor,
now is the best time 2 put it on. That way, u lose rupees instead of hearts! If
u are far enough, ganondorf will charge at u while raising his sword. press A
to lock swords, then keep on pressing A until he lets go, then give him some
sword slashes. OR, you can use the *Easter Egg*: take out your fishing rod, and
Ganondorf, being thick-headed, will GET DISTRACTED by it! hahahaha!! just take
out your rod and wave it in his face, then slash him a few times. repeat either
of these 2 more times, the ganondorf will fall, allowing u 2 use the finisher
on him. u must do it quickly, though, or he will get back up and u have 2 do it
all over again. If u use the finisher, u just killed Ganondorf and beat the
game. Congradulations!!!
