The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How do I defeat Bellum's first form, the Evil Phantom?

  • 1 of 16: This fight comes in phases again, like most of the previous ones.
  • 2 of 16: Your grappling hook is the key to the first phase of battle.
  • 3 of 16: The purple smoke that covers his body can actually be hooked onto.
  • 4 of 16: Pull it all away, piece by piece, to expose his body.
  • 5 of 16: You can then in turn pull the body itself to you, and whack it a few times with your sword.
  • 6 of 16: Repeat the process until he moves up to the second floor -- swiftly follow him.
  • 7 of 16: The second phase requires you to knock him back down to the first floor again.
  • 8 of 16: To do this, use your bow.
  • 9 of 16: Shoot at the yellow eyes on the back of his hands hanging from the pillars.
  • 10 of 16: Once you have shot them all, he will fall back to the first floor.
  • 11 of 16: Head down and do exactly the same as you did the first time around.
  • 12 of 16: You will then need to repeat the second phase once more, only this time the yellow marks on the hands will be flashing.
  • 13 of 16: You need to hit them when they are lit for the blows to count.
  • 14 of 16: After you've done this, he will attack again.
  • 15 of 16: However thanks to the cut scenes you just watched, you will now be able to stop time by clicking the symbol on your screen and drawing the hourglass symbol.
  • 16 of 16: Freeze time when his weak point -- his eye -- is visible, and then hammer on it with your sword over and over until he finally sinks.
