A Link to the Past - Boss Guide |
Boss: Armos Knights
Location: East Palace
The first bosses of LttP are not terribly difficult. Concentrate on killing
them one at a time. Start from the right corner, and work your way left. Each
knight takes about three to five arrows to kill. However, they are constantly
moving. Therefore, stay near the right corner to avoid their stomping. The
best time to hit them is when they stand in a line, near the back of the
arena. When you are down to the last knight, it will turn red and move faster.
Wait for it to track your position, then quickly move to the left. When it
lands, hit it with an arrow quickly. It only takes four arrows shots to kill
the final knight.
Item Earned: Heart Container/Pendant of Courage
Boss: Lanmolas
Location: Desert Palace
At the end of your quest in the Desert Palace, you must face a Lanmola trio.
There are many ways to go about killing them, but the safest method involves
staying near the door. Always keep your sword charged, and as soon as the head
of a Lanmola pops up, hit it! Each Lanmola takes six hits to die. When you are
down to the final Lanmola, it will shoot a ring of debris and move faster.
Do you best to avoid the Lanmola's debris, and continue to charge your sword.
Fortunately, you only need to land two more hits to win!
Another strategy for the Lanmola trio involves the Ice Rod. All you have to
do is hit one when it pops up. Since the Ice Rod is very effective, you only
need to hit each Lanmola twice to win!
Item Earned: Heart Container/Pendant of Power
Boss: Moldorm
Location: Mountain Tower (Tower of Hera)
The next boss battle can be extremely easy, or very difficult, depending on
your skill level. All you have to do is strike Moldorm's tail six times, but
every time you strike it, you fly backward. This wouldn't be a problem if it
weren't for the arena, which is nothing but a pit! So, you must strike the
boss at an angle where you will fly back, but not off the arena! A good
method is to get Moldorm's attention, then run in a circle around the center
pit. When you get close to Moldorm, strike its tail. Immediately reverse
direction, and then repeat the process. (NOTE: Don't worry about losing your
health in this battle. If you fall off, just revive yourself at the tower's
secret fairy fountain.) (NOTE: Falling off the arena means that you must
start the battle all over again. So, always be cautious about where you run.)
Item Earned: Heart Container/Pendant of Wisdom
Boss: Agahnim [PART 1]
Location: Hyrule Castle
Get ready to face off with the dark wizard himself! Agahnim is not easy, and
you will quickly be thrown into the fire if you aren't prepared! Make sure
you have a minimum of two fairies, and having a potion or two doesn't hurt,
either. Agahnim has three attacks: chain lightning, blue energy, and fireballs.
The latter is the key to defeating him. Whenever he launches a fireball, get
the Master Sword ready. You must deflect the fireball and launch it back into
Agahnim! Once it finally hits him, he will go to the top of the room and
launch chain lightning. Get to the top of the room with him to avoid the
chain lightning. After that, he will hurl globs of blue energy. Just move up
and down until they fade away, then get ready to deflect another fireball.
It only takes six deflected fireballs to defeat Agahnim... for now.
According to sjurs, you can simply use the Bug-Catching Net to deflect
Agahnim's fireballs.
Item Earned: NONE
Boss: Helmasaur King
Location: Dark Palace
The first boss of the Dark World isn't terribly difficult, but sure is large!
You will have little room to run around, so make every shot count! The first
step to defeating this monstrosity is to destroy the helmet. Quickly shoot
bombs at it, or smash it with the Magic Hammer. Once the helmet is gone,
strike the green jewel with your sword. After you do, the helmet will return.
Repeat the process. Beware, though; the Helmasaur King has some tricks up
its sleeve. It will do a frontal charge attack, but that is very easy to
avoid. Next, it will hurl fireballs at you. Stay near the bottom and as far
away from them as possible; they explode quickly, and sparks fly everywhere.
Finally, once the Helmasaur King's tail begins to swing, do your best to
avoid it; it causes quite a bit of damage. (NOTE: Once you are close to
killing the Helmasaur King, it will speed up a little. Continue to avoid
the enemy's attacks, and you'll defeat it easily.)
Thanks to Christopher Rhodes, another strategy has been added. Destroy the
helmet as usual, but instead of swiping its head with the sword, simply fire
arrows. This works much faster, and there is little chance of helmet
regeneration. Thanks to Christopher Rhodes for this strategy!
Item Earned: Heart Container/Magic Crystal
Boss: Arrghus
Location: Swamp Palace
This swollen jellyfish is mad! It charges around the room, sending a team
of puffballs to harass you! To counter its attacks, ready the Hookshot and
pull each puffball off Arrghus one by one. A few swipes will kill the
puffball. Repeat the process until every puffball has been pulled off. When
the core of Arrghus has been exposed, it will charge even faster. Swipe at
it with your sword or arrows. It doesn't take long to defeat Arrghus.
Item Earned: Heart Container/Magic Crystal
Boss: Mothula
Location: Skull Woods [Skull Dungeon]
Get ready for the toughest battle yet! Not only does Mothula take a major
amount of hits to die, the arena shifts and shoots spikes! Do your best to
cope with the arena's movement, and stay far away from the moving spikes.
Whenever Mothula comes near, strike it with your sword. While you can use
the Fire Rod, hitting it with the Master Sword is faster. As with most bosses,
Mothula gets a little quicker near the end of its life. Keep hitting it to
finally defeat it.
Item Earned: Heart Container/Magic Crystal
Boss: Blind
Location: Theives' Town
That beautiful maiden... isn't so beautiful after all! When exposed to the
sunlight, she turns into Blind. Blind is not easy to defeat; you must strike
his head repeatedly until it comes off. As the head flies around, Blind will
grow yet another head. Strike at that one until it comes off. Soon, you will
have heads everywhere! Avoid them, and keep striking at Blind until it
finally falls for good. Collect your crystal!
Item Earned: Heart Container/Magic Crystal
Boss: Kholdstare
Location: Ice Palace
When you first meet this boss, it will be encased in ice. Also, ice chunks
will rain down from the ceiling. As soon as the battle starts, use the
Bombos spell to melt the ice shield. You will then be left with three eyes.
Use the Fire Rod to inflict damage against them. Each eye takes about 7 hits
to be defeated, so if you run out of magic power, just whack with your sword.
Item Earned: Heart Container/Magic Crystal
Boss: Vitreous
Location: Misery Mire
Perhaps the strangest boss thus far, Vitreous is nothing but a group of eyes!
Much like the battle with Arrghus, you must first defeat the tiny eyes with
your sword. However, they are sent out in pairs of two, so your Hookshot is
not effective. Once all the eyes are defeated, Vitreous itself will emerge.
It will shoot chain lightning, so stay in either corner at the bottom of the
arena. After shooting, it will fly around to harass you. Take it down with
sword swipes or arrows, then avoid more lightning. Each round, the intervals
get shorter, so you must work faster and faster! When it is finally done for,
collect the crystal!
Item Earned: Heart Container/Magic Crystal
Boss: Trinexx
Location: Death Mountain [Turtle Rock]
Get ready for the fight of your life! So far, none of the bosses have even
been remotely as difficult as Trinexx! Trinexx features three heads: a stone
head, a fire head, and an ice head! Each head causes a different type of pain
to Link! To counter, you will need the Ice Rod, Fire Rod, and plenty of
medicines and fairies.
When the battle begins, get your Fire Rod ready. You should take out the ice
head first, because it causes the most damage to Link and it also freezes
the floor, making movement difficult and clumsy. It takes about 7 hits to
destroy the ice head of Trinexx. After it is destroyed, the attacks from the
other two heads become more lethal!
Next, ready the Ice Rod, because you going after the fire head! Avoid the
molten breath and lashes from the stone head, and just keep firing the Ice
Rod at the fire head. After about 7 hits, the fire head of Trinexx will be
gone. However, the stone head will bulk up with devastating power!
Once only the stone head of Trinexx is left, it will move extremely fast
around the arena. The only part that is vulnerable is the midsection of stone,
but it is hard to hit because of the constant movement and charges of Trinexx.
Whenever Trinexx moves at an angle in front of you, charge your sword to
strike all parts of the midsection. Each strike causes Trinexx to move faster
and cause more damage, so be extremely cautious. It only takes about 5 hits
to defeat Trinexx once and for all!
Thanks to cripplednitemare, another strategy for this battle has been added.
Basically, whenever you hit the fire head or the ice head, just whack away
with your sword. That way, you will conserve much needed magic power. Much
thanks goes out to cripplednitemare for this strategy!
As you may know, you can purchase the Super Bomb once you collect six crystals.
Therefore, it is possible to get both the the Golden Sword and Silver Arrows
before entering Turtle Rock. Should you take the time to collect them now,
you'll be pleased to know that it only takes three sword swipes from the
Golden Sword to kill each phase of Trinexx! (This makes the battle much
easier!)
According to sjurs, using the Cane of Byrna will make this battle rather
simple. Just use it during phase three of the battle!
Item Earned: Heart Container/Magic Crystal
Boss: Agahnim [PART 2]
Location: Ganon's Tower
After fighting sub-images of bosses Link has faced in the past, he is now
ready for the second battle against Agahnim. While nothing attack-wise has
changed from the first battle, Agahnim now moves faster and casts clones.
To detect the clones, look for two fake Agahnims that are slightly clear and
see-through. As like last time, deflect the fireballs into the real Agahnim,
but take cover; the fakes shoot fireballs, too! After six deflections into
Agahnim, he will be defeated once and for all! But wait! Is there really more
to Agahnim than meets the eye...
As you may know, you can purchase the Super Bomb once you collect six crystals.
Therefore, it is possible to get both the Golden Sword and Silver Arrows
before the final battle with Ganon. Should you take the time to collect them
now, you'll be pleased to know it only takes three deflected shots with the
Golden Sword to defeat Agahnim!
According to sjurs, you can simply use the Bug-Catching Net to deflect
Agahnim's fireballs.
Item Earned: NONE
Boss: Ganon
Location: Pyramid of Power
Agahnim may have been defeated, but did you really think that that would be the
end of the curse? Ganon emerges for one last stab at Link. He is by far the
hardest boss in LttP, and it will take all your potions and skills to emerge as
the victor!
For the first part of the battle, Ganon throws a silver trident at you. Just
like a boomerang, it circles back to Ganon. Just as Ganon throws and catches the
trident, that is when you should strike him with your new Golden Sword. After
about 7-8 hits, he will move on to the next stage of attack...
As if the trident weren't enough, Ganon now shrouds himself with a fireball
shrine. When the fireballs are released, quickly get up there and whack away
at Ganon! However, be careful; the fireballs turn into Link-seeking bats!
After many hits to Ganon, he will proceed into stage 3 of his attack. Stay
near the center of the arena, because Ganon will jump, which gets rid of the
outer row of floor tiles. (NOTE: If you fall, the whole battle starts over.)
Again, once the fireballs are gone, you have a moment to quickly strike
Ganon.
Finally, you'll emerge into Ganon's final stage of attack. Don't think it gets
any easier, though! In fact, this final stage of attack is harder than the
other three stages combined! Ganon will equip the Darkness technique, which
makes him invisible. The only way to see him is to use the Fire Rod to light
two torches near the bottom of the arena. After they are lit, you will have
a few moments to hit Ganon. After you hit him, he will turn blue, and you must
then ready the Silver Arrows and shoot him! Repeat this process until Ganon
is, once and for all, defeated! Next step: pat yourself on the back! You just
won LttP!!
A very helpful strategy was sent to me through e-mail, but sadly, I can't
recall the source. Anyway, the strategy says that if you light the left
torch after lighting the right torch and before the right torch goes out,
then the right torch will always stay on, and you will always be able to see
Ganon. This saves time and magic! This is a very helpful strategy.
Item Earned: NONE, except satisfaction
Boss: Dark Links
Location: Palace of the Four Sword
Palace of the Four Sword is a brand-new dungeon to LttP. It is available only
on the GBA version of LttP. It is basically a dungeon that forces you to
replay all previous challenges, times four! At the end of the dungeon is
the final boss... which is actually a group of Dark Links! Next to Ganon,
they are easily the toughest bosses in the game! Each Dark Link has their
own set of attacks, and they are randomized; you don't what attacks they
have until it is too late!
While the attacks are randomized, the first Dark Link always has a green
tunic on. Whenever he finishes dashing, quickly swipe him with your sword!
It takes a total of 8 swipes to finish him off.
The second Dark Link always has a red tunic on. He has the same dash attack
as the green Dark Link, but can also use the powerful Hurricane Blade attack.
Whenever the red Dark Link finishes a dash or the Hurricane Blade, strike him
with your sword. It also takes 8 swipes to kill him.
The third Dark Link always has a blue tunic on. He has the same attacks as the
red Dark Link, but can also use a powerful jump and slash attack. Whenever
this attack is performed, quickly ready the Golden Sword and slash away! It
takes 8 swipes to kill him.
The fourth and final Dark Link wears a purple tunic. Not only can he use the
attacks of the previous three Dark Links, he can even shoot fire from his
sword! The only time you can swipe at him is when he uses the jump attack
or shoots fire from his sword. Unlike the previous Dark Links, it takes a
whopping 16 hits to kill this Dark Link!! But, once you do, consider
yourself a TRUE LttP master!!
(NOTE: Once you defeat the Dark Links, you'll witness a brand-new ending that
wasn't present on the Super NES version of LttP!!)
