Bosses

    
                               

How to beat every boss in Echoes of Wisdom. Most bosses have a glowing weak point you can grab with Bind and pull, and most drop blue energy you can use to power Swordfighter Form. Each dungeon boss leaves a Heart Container.

Seismic Talus (Suthorn Ruins)

Collect the blue energy when the Talus throws an arm at the wall. When its hands rise up glowing purple, switch to Swordfighter Form. When the hands are stuck in the ground, run behind it and hit the glowing orb at its base, or Bind to the orb and pull it. Next, the orb moves to its shoulder and its arms spin in a circle; use the same trick. Finally it turns red with the orb on its head; stand on its hands in Swordfighter Form and jump up to hit the orb.

Impostor Jabu-Jabu (Jabul Waters)

The fake Jabu-Jabu spits water and objects, and breaks the floating platforms. When it takes a deep breath, drop a Bombfish echo into the water so it swallows it. The explosion stuns it and drops energy; hit it in Swordfighter Form. Later it swims around chomping. Keep feeding it Bombfish when it breathes in.

Vocavor (Jabul Ruins)

Dodge the whirlpools it sends along the top and bottom of the water. When it's stunned, hit or pull the glowing orbs on its back, then attack its back. Swim away from its spin attack and tail spikes. In the second phase the water drops and a huge whirlpool forms; Vocavor flips over, so get underneath it to reach the orbs.

Mogryph (Gerudo Sanctum)

Keep your distance to avoid its roar, which stuns you and piles up sand. When it dashes at you, stand behind a statue echo so it crashes into the statue and gets stuck upside down, then attack it in Swordfighter Form. In the second phase, the room fills with quicksand; Gerudo Sandals keep you from sinking. Mogryph flies, makes whirlwinds and slashes with its claws. Stand on solid ground and keep putting statues in its path.

Ganon (Hyrule Castle)

Dodge Ganon's trident stab, then hit him. Next he throws the trident and sends Fire Keese; hit him while he waits for it to come back. Then he fires a ball of energy at you; in Swordfighter Form, hit it back until it stuns him, and attack him. In the last phase he mixes all his attacks, and his fireballs move faster and take more hits to return.

Volvagia (Eldin Temple)

Volvagia sends a large green fireball drifting toward you, then spits three more fireballs. Dodge them, then Bind to the green orb on its neck and pull it off. Collect the energy and attack Volvagia in Swordfighter Form. In the second phase it spits two or five fireballs, or heats up the platform you're standing on, so jump to another. Pull the orb and attack between its attacks.

Gohma (Faron Temple)

Burn the webs and destroy the Baby Gohma eggs. Use electric monster echoes, such as Electric Wizzrobes or Buzz Blobs, to hit the green crystals on Gohma's legs; when it's stunned, attack its eye. When its eye fires a laser that follows you, send out monster echoes to distract it, and shoot the eye with arrows. In the second phase Gohma walks toward you; electrify all three leg crystals, then strike the eye.

Skorchill (Lanayru Temple)

Skorchill slams its fists, drops icicles and spins. While its helmet has ice horns, use a Fire Wizzrobe echo to break them, then Bind to the helmet and pull it off to attack. In the second phase the horns are made of fire; break them with an Ice Wizzrobe echo. In the last phase the helmet switches between fire and ice horns, so break them with the opposite element each time.

Echo Zelda (Stilled Ancient Ruins)

A dark copy of Zelda creates echoes of her own, such as Darknuts, Ice Octos, Buzz Blobs and Freeze Slugs. Defeat them to collect energy, then attack her until she falls.

Null (final boss)

Null fights in eight phases, copying many of the bosses you've already beaten. Some tips for each stage of the fight:

  1. Dodge the shadows of its claws, attack its three arms (they may drop hearts), and pull them with Bind, then hit its body.
  2. Its arms come out of the walls; Goo Specter echoes work well against them.
  3. Its arms leave puddles of darkness that ground echoes can't reach, so use flying echoes like Moas.
  4. The arena floods. Swim and use swimming and flying echoes; bubbles refill your dive meter.
  5. A larger Null with more arms. Seismic Talus and Mogryph echoes are useful here.
  6. Dark spots on the floor turn into traps. Use Darknut echoes; Ganon and Skorchill echoes join the fight.
  7. Use Fire Lizalfos and Boarblin echoes, and Buzz Blobs to stop the enemy Lizalfos.
  8. Null re-forms and summons six Ganon echoes and a Gohma echo; burn the Gohma's webs with a fire echo. Finally, Bind to the golden triangle and press A repeatedly to finish it.
