  Four Swords - Boss Guide

All the bosses of Four Swords are impossible to defeat alone, because they are so tough. It takes teamwork from you and your friends to defeat them! That said, it should be known that Four Swords is randomized; every time you play, there is a different layout to the level! Therefore, these strategies may not work every single time you play a level. But for the most part, they should help you and your friends out!


Boss: Plant Nightmare
Location: Sea of Trees

It takes teamwork to defeat Plant Nightmare. The key to victory is to strike the right body part that matches your color tunic. For example, one of the heads of Plant Nightmare is green, and the other is purple. That means the green Link should strike at the green head, while the purple Link should strike at the purple head. After defeating all four heads, handles of vines will emerge from the boss. Everyone must pull on the handles until the core of the boss is exposed: a multi-colored blossom plant. It will have two colors, and whatever players have those colors on their tunics must hit the boss at the same time. For example, if the blossom is red and green, both the red Link and green Link must strike Plant Nightmare. Keep doing this until it is finally destroyed!
Boss: Ice Monster
Location: Talus Cave

Ice Monster is no easy boss. It, like the previous battle, takes teamwork to win! First, everyone must grab the Pegasus Shoes. Once everyone does, then everyone must simultaneously charge into IceMonster, until it eventually freezes onto the frigid wall. Once it is frozen, then everyone must hack away at it. From there, IceMonster will jump back into position, where all must start dashing again. After a few more rounds, IceMoster will transform into a small, bubbly creature. Each bubble has a color, and each player must strike the colored bubble that matches their tunic. After about 10-12 hit from each player, IceMonster will be defeated. (NOTE: If a player ever get frozen on the wall, a player can swipe him with the sword to thaw him out.)
Boss: Master Flame
Location: Death Mountain

Like the battle with Agahnim, Master Flame shoots out deflectable fireballs. However, each fireball has a certain color, and that fireball can only be deflected by the player whose tunic matches that color. While everyone else uses their sheilds to deflect tongues of fire, the player with the matching color tunic must hit the boss with the deflected fireball. As soon as he does, a new fireball with a different color will be spewed. The corresponding player must then go deflect it. You must repeat this process several times to be rewarded with victory.
Boss: Vaati
Location: Vaati's Palace

As if the last three boss battles weren't hard enough, you must now face Vaati himself! Vaati has three stages of attack, which are listed below:

In the first stage, everyone must collect bombs and throw them into a vortex. If timed correctly, the bombs will explode just as they get near Vaati. When he falls, everyone must then close in and swipe at him. He will get back up and the process will begin again. This goes on for about 5 more rounds, then he teleports and starts a new phase of attack!

In this next stage, Vaati will reveal his claw arms. If anyone gets too close, the claws will stab that player. However, when Vaati gets ready for an attack, his arms open up very wide, and a color is revealed on the arms. Whoever has the same color must be brave and get up there to attack! Once everyone has attacked at least once, you'll move onto the final stage of Vaati's attack...

Vaati will grow many eyes, but three will be a certain color. The colored eyes are actually bombs, and they shoot off at random times. Whatever player has the same color as the bombs, they must reflect the bombs back into Vaati, a la the battle with Agahnim. Once everyone has deflected the bombs, Vaati will finally fall, and Princess Zelda will have returned to Link!! (NOTE: Vaati, no matter what quest you are on, will always have the same attacks.)
