Boss Guide

1. Circle the edge of the room and stay clear of its horn, which it uses to ram you.
2. When Stagnox charges, use the gap to run behind it.
3. Blow the Whirlwind at the purple fog on its back, then slash the exposed spot. Step away and repeat until it takes off.
4. In the air it drops three Blastworms. Hit one with your sword so it curls into a spiked ball and leave one curled.
5. When Stagnox dives across the platform, aim the Whirlwind so the curled Blastworm blows into its face. The blast flips it onto its back, so slash it until it recovers and repeat.

Once Stagnox is beaten you collect a Heart Container and the green Force Gem, which restores the energy flow of the Tower of Spirits.

1. Light your Boomerang at the torch that holds the opposite element to Fraaz’s current attack, then hit Fraaz with it. Enough hits stun it.
2. While it is stunned, run in and slash it.
3. After enough damage Fraaz splits into two elemental halves, Fraaz and Fraaz Jr. Use the map on the top screen to tell them apart, stun each with the opposite element and slash them. Beat the pair and Fraaz re-forms.
4. Fraaz then destroys both torches, so you must catch the fire and ice from Fraaz and Fraaz Jr. themselves and use each element against the opposite one.
5. Each round Fraaz inflates more and takes more Boomerang hits before it can be slashed. After a last round it inflates one more time and bursts.

Fraaz leaves behind a Heart Container and the white Force Gem, which restores the Tower of Spirits’ energy flow once more.

1. Phytops attacks with its tentacles as soon as the fight begins. A smack with the Whip sends a tentacle reeling back.
2. Pink blobs cover its eye. Grab a thorn from a tentacle with the Whip and throw it at the monster; repeat until the eye is fully uncovered.
3. Throw a third thorn into the eye. Phytops lowers its head to the edge of the pool, and you can slash the open eye repeatedly.
4. After the first hit it fights back harder, firing globs of purple acid from its head, so dodge them.
5. It also uses all four tentacles at once. Repeat the thorn, eye and sword routine until it falls.

Phytops drops a Heart Container and the blue Force Gem. The second Take ‘Em All On! level opens up as well.

1. Cragma smashes at you with its fists. A glowing spot shows on its body just before it strikes, so shoot that spot.
2. When it slams both fists and drops a large boulder, stand next to the boulder so Cragma smashes it flat, then dodge at the last moment.
3. Pick up the flattened boulder as a platform. Set it over the magma spout between you and the mine cart, then jump into the cart.
4. The cart circles Cragma. Shoot its glowing body parts; after two hits the cart climbs a level, and if you take too long it grabs you and throws you back to the bottom.
5. On the third level, shoot its eye. That knocks Cragma over and exposes the top of its head, so climb out and slash it until it recovers, then start over. Three rounds finish it.

Pick up arrows from fallen rocks if you run low. When Cragma finally falls, you win a Heart Container and the red Force Gem, and a Quiver upgrade becomes available at the Goron Country Store.

1. Skeldritch fires boulders from its spine across the arena. Raise a wall of sand in front of each one to stop it.
2. Use the Sand Wand to push a boulder into a catapult, then strike the shock switch beside it. The boulder flies back and destroys one of Skeldritch’s vertebrae.
3. The last three vertebrae are armored. Load a boulder into a catapult, run around the room so Skeldritch turns to face another way, then fire an arrow at the switch so the boulder hits an exposed vertebra.
4. Skeldritch also shoots a laser from its mouth whenever it can, so keep moving.
5. With every vertebra gone, the skull floats and tries to ram you. Wall it in with sand and it tries to break out; slash the ruby-like weak point on the back of the skull, or raise yourself on a sand pillar behind it to reach it.

Once Skeldritch falls the sand drains from the room, revealing a chest with a Heart Container and a stairway to a lower room where you take the Bow of Light. You need the Bow of Light to finish the game, and Anjean gives you the Lokomo Sword in the train soon afterwards.

Draw a path for Zelda to Byrne’s arm. If she grabs it she pulls him off his pillar onto the floor, where you can slash him. If his charged orb hits Zelda she is stunned for a while, and if his clawed hand grabs her you must hit the hand to free her. Byrne adapts as the fight goes on and starts to go after Zelda as well. Once he fights on the ground he charges up an attack that Zelda has to intercept to hold him back while you hit him; repeated sword hits make him angry enough to use it. After the fight, Anjean gives you the Force Gem that repairs the tracks to the Sand Realm.

1. The first stage has you ride alongside the Demon Train and shoot the bomb barrels it prepares to fire at you before they hit your train. Brake or speed up to line up shots.
2. The second car carries laser cannons that fire along the track. Each cannon takes two hits, so destroy them before they hit you.
3. In the last stage you catch up with the engine. Hitting each of the blue jewels on its side makes the train stop abruptly, which gives you easy access to its face, and you shoot the face. You must repeat this several times. The game lets you save afterwards.

Break his hold by hitting Cole with the Boomerang from a distance, which cuts the strings. The mice come in a straight line of four or in a circle that tightens around Zelda. Use the Whip on the line and the spin attack on the circle. Dead mice drop arrows and hearts, and you should save the arrows. At the front, Zelda seizes Malladus. Fire a Light Arrow at him right away, because a hit with the Bow of Light forces him out of her body.

In round two, distract Malladus so his back faces Zelda, and she fires the Bow of Light at the weak spot. After three hits a gem forms on his forehead, and you strike it and a horn. After another three hits you do the same to destroy the second horn.

In the final round, have Zelda land one last Light Arrow in his back to force him down. Then drive the Lokomo Sword through his skull, and Zelda comes to help you shatter the jewel on his forehead. That destroys Malladus and Cole.
