Welcome to my Boss FAQ/Walkthrough for the newest entry in the Legend of Zelda
series, Skyward Sword. Skyward Sword is one of the first Zelda games to use
the technology of the Wii Motion Plus controls, and is, in fact, released on
the year of the series' 25th anniversary.
Basically, I hope you enjoy this FAQ, would love it if you helped by submitting
to it, and, again, enjoy!

| Information about Submissions |
O===========================================================================O
Should you want to submit a boss strategy to this FAQ, or otherwise would wish
to contact me concerning this or any of my other FAQs, you have two methods in
which to do so:
- Through my e-mail ([email protected]).
- PM or Private Message me on the GameFAQs message boards.
In either case, assuming you sent a boss strategy, it must agree with the
following conditions:
- It is readable. For example, I'd prefer no abbreviations (FYI and BTW are
suitable, but random stuff like LOL and ROFL will probably be not). Proper
spelling and semi-proper grammar also are good.
- You'll accept that I will probably do some spell-checking and other minor
things to it to make it more understandable, but ONLY as needed.
- It must be an actual strategy for it, not a "Just hit him a hundred times!"
kind of thing.
- If you plagiarize a strategy, it will NOT be accepted. If a posted strategy
is found to be plagiarized, it will be IMMEDIATELY removed.
- In the subject line of the e-mail or PM, please put "Legend of Zelda: Skyward
Sword Boss FAQ", or something to that effect, lest I misinterpret it as spam
and delete it. Also be sure to specifically name the boss your adding to, as
the same boss can repeat multiple times. For example, you could use the
nomenclature I use the Contents section.
- Finally, you must accept I'll credit you for the strategy in this FAQ.
Therefore, you should tell me what you'd like to be credited by. Otherwise,
I will use your e-mail or GameFAQs screenname, depending on how you contacted
me.
All clear? One final note - I don't actually check my e-mail and stuff often,
about once every week or two. So don't flood my in-box with the same thing
over and over. If I accept/reject a strategy, I should let you know within two
weeks. If not, send ONE copy of the e-mail/PM again, checking the subject line
and all to make sure it doesn't end up as spam in my in-box.

5. Ghirahim (Skyview Temple) *********************SKY5***********************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Demon Lord Ghirahim
Location: Skyview Temple
=============================================================================
In the initial part of the battle, Ghirahim will simply walk towards you. He
comes with one hand raised upward, glowing red. The purpose of this is to grab
your sword when you slice at him. If he DOES grab your sword, do a down-up
vertical slice, or he'll steal the sword. During this time, he also can slap
you if you take too long to hit.
How do you hit him? Well, you need to lead his hand in one way, then quickly
swing in a different way.
During this time, if he does manage to steal away your sword, you have two
options. You can run around until he throws your sword at you, at which point
you can grab it, or you can shield bash him during a slice.
Continue attacking for a while, after which it'll change a bit.
In the second half of the battle, Ghirahim will use his sword and will use
three attacks. One involves teleporting and slashing at you (kind of like
Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts). Another involves a running tackle-slash combo,
and another has Ghirahim launching five red projectiles at you.
For the first attack, just jump around, preferably backwards (because he'll
appear from behind, and his position is apparently determined upon actually
teleporting). For the second, shield bash Ghirahim to stun him and get a few
hits in, or swing at him on the side his sword isn't on. And, for the third,
dodge to the side or move your sword in a slash that would reflect as many
projectiles as possible.
6. Scaldera (Earth Temple) *********************SKY6*************************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Scaldera
Location: Earth Temple
=============================================================================
Initially, Scaldera will begin by rolling up the incline; stay off to the side
to avoid it. Afterwards, make your way to the top of the incline -- there is
a supply of hearts and Bomb Flowers are there. Be sure to hit the boss with
one to send it to the bottom of the hill (the boss does this automatically by
going too far uphill).
Upon recovering, the boss will open its mouth and suck in stuff. THROW a Bomb
during this time to stun the boss. This also exposes its eye, its weak point,
and your target. Hit it a few times. Once Scaldera recovers, dash back uphill.
Scaldera then can shoot several fireballs (just sidestep them), roll back
uphill, or do another vacuuming move.
After this, it is rinse and repeat, more or less. The only things worth noting
include that Scaldera will eventually go uphill using its legs; let it go
uphill, then it'll roll downhill. Also note the Bomb/heart supplies at the top
and bottom of the incline.
7. Moldarach (Lanayru Mining Facility) *********************SKY7*************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Moldarach
Location: Lanayru Mining Facility
=============================================================================
For the first part of the battle, you'll initially be fighting the boss's two
pincers. The pincers' weak points are the eyeballs within. You'll have to hit
the eye at a certain angle when the pincer is open -- the angle is pretty easy
to guess at, and the game is rather generous with this. If you notice a red
eyeball at any point, back off or you'll be hit with a tail sweep attack.
Continue hitting the claws until both are destroyed. Additionally note that
the boss may, with one pincer left, use its tail to hit you from above.
After destroying both pincers, the real fight begins. You'll notice a third
eyeball open up where, I guess, the boss's head is. You can only hit this one
with a thrust. After a few hits, the boss will dig into the sand.
Now, you'll be able to note where the boss's body is. Try to stay away from
there, or you'll be hit with its tail. Use the Gust Bellows to blow away the
sand near the boss to eventually bring it aboveground again. Continue to
thrust at its eye and later dig it up until it is defeated.
8. The Imprisoned (Sealed Grounds) (#1) *********************SKY8************
=============================================================================
BOSS: The Imprisoned
Location: Sealed Grounds
=============================================================================
At the start of the battle, the boss's main goal is to walk to the top of the
pit and to the temple. This boss will stand upright -- how is that important?
Well, this boss has four toes per foot (one is in the back). Begin by slicing
at the toes on one foot - three hits destroys a toe.
After removing the toes from one foot, the boss will move more slowly, but also
summon shockwaves upon stepping down. Avoid these while you proceed to cut off
the remaining foot's toes.
Afterwards, the boss will fall over backwards. Once it does, run around and
down the slope to the boss's head and you'll notice the stone pillar from
earlier sticking out from its head. (I'd go crazy too if I had something like
that in my head.) Anyhow, you'll need to hit it with down-up vertical slices
to damage the boss by driving the stone into the head.
After three such hits, the boss will stand back up, charge up the incline at a
high speed, and continue walking at a slightly faster pace. Repeat the above
processes until the boss is dead -- three rounds of this, or nine hits to the
head.
9. Koloktos (Ancient Cistern) *********************SKY9**********************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Koloktos
Location: Ancient Cistern
=============================================================================
During the first phase of the battle, the boss is immobile for the most part.
It initially attacks by swinging arms at you. Dodge the attack and pull out
your Whip, using it to hit the valve on its unarmed arm. *chuckle* Repeat
this with the other arm.
Once you do, the boss's chest will be open to damage. During this time, the
axes from two of the arms are thrown at you, and the other arms try to slam
you like the other two before it. Run to the weak point and start slicing.
After a period of time, you'll repeat the process thus far until you deal a
certain amount of damage.
The boss then enters its second phase. Koloktos becomes mobile, walking around
with some giant legs and also wielding six swords (the weak point is guarded by
a cage, now). During the boss's slicing rampage, stay a fair distance back.
Eventually, though, three arms will slam down. Unfasten the valves on one arm
with the Whip, then pick up the dropped sword. If possible, slice the boss's
torso in a horizontal manner, then hit the cage two/three times, opening up
the weak point. You may want to drop the sword now and use your own sword to
do damage (it slices faster). You'll soon have to repeat this process until
the boss is defeated.
10. Moldarach (Shipyard) *********************SKY10**************************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Moldarach
Location: Shipyard
=============================================================================
For the first part of the battle, you'll initially be fighting the boss's two
pincers. The pincers' weak points are the eyeballs within. You'll have to hit
the eye at a certain angle when the pincer is open -- the angle is pretty easy
to guess at, and the game is rather generous with this. If you notice a red
eyeball at any point, back off or you'll be hit with a tail sweep attack.
Continue hitting the claws until both are destroyed. Additionally note that
the boss may, with one pincer left, use its tail to hit you from above.
After destroying both pincers, the real fight begins. You'll notice a third
eyeball open up where, I guess, the boss's head is. You can only hit this one
with a thrust. After a few hits, the boss will dig into the sand.
Now, you'll be able to note where the boss's body is. Try to stay away from
there, or you'll be hit with its tail. Use the Gust Bellows to blow away the
sand near the boss to eventually bring it aboveground again. Continue to
thrust at its eye and later dig it up until it is defeated, which will likely
happen faster with previous sword upgrades.
11. Scervo (Sandship) *********************SKY11*****************************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Scervo
Location: Sandship
=============================================================================
Well, more of a mini-boss -- but it doesn't really matter. I highly would
prefer you stand for this (it is much easier). Raise your shield and target to
target Scervo. Shield bash him as he tries to hit you, then hit him a few
times with your sword. Continue doing this to push him off of the plank. As he
gets close, he'll also pull out an electrified club. At the end of the plank,
he'll push you back and the gate (which damages you if touched) will move
closer to you. Repeat this same process a few times to end the battle, making
a chest appear.
12. Tentalus (Sandship) *********************SKY12***************************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Tentalus
Location: Sandship
=============================================================================
You will begin by only seeing the boss's tentacles briefly strike the control
room. Exit this room and continue your way to the upper deck. As you proceed
through the hall, you'll find two of the boss's tentacles staying in the wall.
Be wary -- if you get too close, you'll be grabbed and launched out of the
ship. Use a Skyward Strike to get rid of both tentacles, then go through the
doorway and upstairs.
Here, go along the hall and avoid the barrels; they fall in a left-middle-right
pattern that is easy to predict. Continue along to the top floor of the ship.
Use the nearby Bird Statue, then go through the door to the deck to find your
next boss (the actual fight).
Now, for the first phase of the actual fight. You'll initially have to Skyward
Strike some of the tentacles that break through the deck -- whenever this thing
starts to happen, always have a Skyward Strike at the ready. Move around the
whole time and avoid being grabbed and hurt by a tentacle. Slice four down to
continue.
Tentalus will then rise from the water on one side of the deck. Ready your Bow
and aim at the boss's yellow eye, shooting when possible. Note that you can
still move around while aiming with the Bow (so as to avoid the arm slams).
Once you hit the eye, Tentalus will slump onto the deck. Run up to him and
start slicing the eye directly. You'll repeat this, starting from the above
paragraph, until Tentalus's eye is damaged enough.
Once it is, the second phase begins. The tentacles will literally ravage the
deck, similar to Bowser from Yoshi's Island, and you'll have to dash-jump on
a nearby crate to the higher ledge. Tentalus will focus on using its head
tentacles to attack. Slice the tentacles until you can find a time of relative
peace, in which you can hit Tentalus's eye with an arrow. Once this opening is
found, blast an arrow at him, then start slicing his eye. Repeat the process
if needed until dead.
13. Ghirahim (Fire Sanctuary) *********************SKY13*********************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Demon Lord Ghirahim
Location: Fire Sanctuary
=============================================================================
In the initial part of the battle, Ghirahim will simply walk towards you. He
comes with one hand raised upward, glowing red. The purpose of this is to grab
your sword when you slice at him. If he DOES grab your sword, do a down-up
vertical slice, or he'll steal the sword. During this time, he also can slap
you if you take too long to hit. Additionally, you'll probably notice the red
projectiles near him. If he grabs the sword and/or you take too long to hit
him or get back your sword, they will hit you.
How do you hit him? Well, you need to lead his hand in one way, then quickly
swing in a different way. If you DO manage to hit him, be sure to hit multiple
times, since he will be very temporarily stunned by the initial hit. After
taking a hit, he'll also send some of the red projectiles at you -- shield
bash them or use the sword block, like in the last battle.
During this time, if he does manage to steal away your sword, you have two
options. You can run around until he throws your sword at you, at which point
you can grab it, or you can shield bash him during a slash.
Continue attacking for a while, after which it'll change a bit.
In the second half of the battle, Ghirahim will use his two swords and will use
three attacks. One involves teleporting and slashing at you (kind of like
Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts). Another involves a running tackle-slash combo,
and another has Ghirahim surrounding you with red projectiles. Another has him
doing a nosedive onto you -- you can only run around to avoid this, although
you can get a few hits in when he lands. He also has a (usually) counterattack
whenever you hit his swords rather than him when he holds them up in those
configurations.
For the first attack, just jump around, preferably backwards (because he'll
appear from behind, and his position is apparently determined upon actually
teleporting). For the second, shield bash Ghirahim to stun him and get a few
hits in, or swing at him on the side his sword isn't on. As for the third,
execute a spin attack that will hit all of the projectiles.
14. The Imprisoned (Sealed Grounds) (#2) *********************SKY14**********
=============================================================================
BOSS: The Imprisoned
Location: Sealed Grounds
=============================================================================
Battling the Imprisoned is similar to the first time around. As before, you
want to kill it by repeatedly shoving the stone spike into its head three times
(nine hits) before it reaches the temple. You can achieve this by either
cutting off the boss's eight toes from its feet, or by using the whirlwinds or
a jump from a higher ledge to reach the boss's head. With the latter method,
you may be shaken off, but, if not, you have a pretty open shot at the spike.
To drive the spike in, use vertical slices appropriate to the situation.
However, there is another thing the boss can do other than step on you or use
its foot shockwaves (which can be guarded with a shield). It can climb walls.
That is partly why Groose's catapult is here -- whenever the Imprisoned tries
to climb a wall, if possible, press Up and aim to launch a Bomb at it and stun
it. You aim with the Wii Remote, use the Control Stick to move along the wooden
track, and press A to shoot.
If you EVER hit the Imprisoned with a catapulted Bomb, it is stunned. That is
where my strategy comes into play. Rather than get repeatedly battered by the
boss's feet, go up to a ledge higher than it and stay above its head. Do not
yet jump on its head. Wait for Groose to stun it with a Bomb, then jump on the
head and do some up-down vertical strikes.
Repeat this process another two times. Note that, after being hit with the
spike thrice, the boss will shake you off (when applicable) and then usually
do a forward charge. Avoid it and follow it, then repeat.
15. Levias (Inside the Thunderhead) *********************SKY15***************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Levias
Location: Inside the Thunderhead
=============================================================================
Once the battle begins, collect any hearts around the island you may need. You
can also use this place for some health restoration when needed. Afterwards,
dive off the edge and call your Loftwing.
Once you do, the battle begins. It is actually quite simple -- there are four
eyes trailing behind Levias. You are to Spiral Charge into all four. The bad
thing is that this battle is pivotal primarily based on your control of a
Loftwing (which is hard enough in this game when you demand accuracy). Then
there is that Levias is about as fast as you, then that if the tail or eyes'
optic nerves hit you, you lose a heart.
I tend to try to approach Levias from the side. He is generally circling during
this battle, so I kind of make a chord in the circle to beeline for where his
tail end will be. Then I try to Spiral Charge an eye and repeat.
The battle ends once you eventually hit all four eyes.
16. Bilocyte (Inside the Thunderhead) *********************SKY16*************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Bilocyte
Location: Inside the Thunderhead, atop Levias
=============================================================================
During this battle, the Bilocyte's primary motive of dealing damage will be to
shoot green orbs of poison at you. Begin by moving to around the middle of the
platform. There, you are to counter the orbs by swinging at them with your
sword. Hit one with a left-right horizontal slice, and another with a
right-left horizontal slice, to hit the boss's head wings. Then hit another
orb vertically to stun the boss, then go up to it and bash it with your sword.
Repeat the above process and deal enough damage to the eye to continue.
For the second phase of the battle, move as far away as possible from the
boss. It will continue to throw the yellow orbs at you, but also will move
after shooting the orb. Using the same "physics" as before, hit the orb at the
head. You can continue to do this for a while. Alternatively, since your Master
Sword has a long range with the Skyward Strike, you can attack it directly with
those. However, that would put you in more danger, but it WOULD end the battle
quicker.
17. The Imprisoned (Sealed Grounds) (#3) *********************SKY17**********
=============================================================================
BOSS: The Imprisoned
Location: Sealed Grounds
=============================================================================
Battling the Imprisoned is similar to the last time around. As before, you
want to kill it by repeatedly shoving the stone spike into its head three times
(nine hits) before it reaches the temple. How do you shove the spike in?
Well, let's go in order. For the first third of the battle, you'll have to do
one of two things. One: cut off all of its toes. This is quite the feat, seeing
as it is moving very fast and releasing shockwaves with each step. I recommend
hitting it with one of Groose's Bombs to stun it. Take off the toes on the
stunned boss, one foot at a time, then shove in the spike with down-up vertical
slices. Alternatively, use the above ledges or the central whirlwind to land on
the boss's head, atop which you can use up-down vertical slices if you don't
get shoved off.
The boss will then get up -- way up -- for round two. It now is flying. You
cannot get to it whatsoever until Groose hits it with a Bomb. Once he does,
you need to go to the center of pit and do some more down-up vertical slices.
The Imprisoned will then start flying again. Groose has also lost his Bomb
supply, so you need to get up there. Use the whirlwinds around the pit to get
up there. Speak with Groose, then get into the catapult. Aim for the boss's
head (slowly adjust your aim at the head to go further back, then, when the
big blue circle suddenly goes away, fire). Atop its head, do three up-down
vertical slices to finish off the boss.
18. Dreadfuse (Sky Keep) *********************SKY18**************************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dreadfuse
Location: Sky Keep
=============================================================================
Well, more of a mini-boss -- but it doesn't really matter. Much like last
time, you should shield bash him whenever he attacks. While he is stunned, you
can use thrusts to attack him, although I found that vertical slices, which are
easier to do than thrusts, are also more easily usable. After almost knocking
him off, he'll lose his electric weapon and the gate will move closer to you --
as before, don't touch it or you'll get hurt. Knock him off almost a second
time and he'll lose his left arm and the gate moves even closer. Repeat the
process one last time to finish him.
19. Ghirahim (Hylia's Realm) *********************SKY19**********************
=============================================================================
BOSS: Demon Lord Ghirahim
Location: Hylia's Realm
=============================================================================
This first part of the battle is rather easy. Ghirahim is now covered in some
metallic substance, and cannot be really damaged all to easily. If you hit him,
all you do is push him back. Seeing as you're on a platform high above the
ground, keep hitting him to push him back, using your shield whenever he tries
to attack you.
After Ghirahim falls off a platform, jump off of it yourself and do a fatal
blow. Continue the cycle described above. Eventually, Ghirahim will start
making his hands purple near the edge of a platform. When he does, carefully
note their positions and slice between them so as not to touch them. There is
a fair space of time before he does anything. However, note that if your sword
does touch the purple hands, you and he will reverse positions, so quickly move
back around! Continue the cycle until Ghirahim summons his weapon.
For this second part of the battle, Ghirahim will swing at you when you're
close; shield bash his attack. In fact, any time he directly attacks you,
shield bash him and, while remaining locked-on, do a thrust to hit the gem in
the center of his torso. You'll want to remain close unless you're, sadly,
taking time to heal -- if you're too far, he'll merely shoot the red missiles
from battles past or a large disc of energy. Both can be shield blocked.
However, the disc can also be hit with your sword in a back-and-forth volley
with Ghirahim until you succeed in hitting him with it, stunning him, much
like the Phantom Ganon bosses of Wind Waker. Anyhow, continue this until he
summons his big sword -- makes me think of Cloud Strife, almost.
For the third part of the battle, with the large sword, you'll need to get
close and attack directly. Ghirahim will use the sword to block -- if he blocks
with the sword vertically, do horizontal slices repeatedly; if he blocks
horizontally, do vertical slices. Continue to slice this while targetting him
(and do it fast -- he'll soon jump back and heal his sword). Once you cut
through the sword, do a thrust to damage him. Repeat a few more times and you
will win.
20. Demise (???) *********************SKY20**********************************
=============================================================================
FINAL BOSS: Demise
Location: ???
=============================================================================
During the first part of the battle, Demise more or less only swings his sword
at you, usually as a counterattack, but sometimes otherwise. Either way, you
will want to shield bash it to stun him and get a hit in. Offensively, you
should keep up your shield and wait for the attack to shield bash, or just
repeatedly attack. The first several strikes will be blocked, but the fourth
or the fifth strike will get through. (Note that, by strike, I mean an actual
slice -- Skyward Strikes are disabled here.) After making your hit, he'll
counter, you'll (hopefully) shield bash and get another hit in.
That's pretty much all for the first part of the battle -- a block-and-strike
session. Remember to keep your shield up at all times, in case he makes an
unpredicted strike at you.
For the second part, a thunderstorm moves in and Demise, now and at random
points in the battle, will let his sword be struck by lightning, effectively
electrifying it and removing your original method of striking. He also can
now do a pseudo-Skyward Strike that is long distance, but can be shield bashed
(except perhaps by the Iron Shield and its upgrades).
Your only method of attack would be to raise your sword into the air and walk
around, hoping to catch a lightning bolt. However, as you do, Demise will
likely rush at you and knock you down -- if you did catch the bolt of
lightning, it just left your sword. So, be ready to shield bash at any second
and keep an eye on Demise, not Link.
Now that you have your sword electrified, you have to wait for Demise to
launch his own lightning disc from his sword, or you won't hit him. Once his
sword is unelectrified, launch your disc of lightning and hit him. Once you
do, move in and hit him a few times with your sword.
You'll need to repeat the process above until your lightning disc actually
knocks Demise over. The first time, COMPLETELY IGNORE the option for a fatal
blow, as it is likely to miss. Instead, just charge up another bolt of
lightning. The second and later times, do go for the fatal blow. Link's sword
will be infused with lightning and, hopefully, pierce Demise's chest, ending
the battle.
