The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How do I defeat the sub-boss with the shield blocking the door?

  • 1 of 9: This guy will jump at you out of the water when you try to approach the stone slab.
  • 2 of 9: He's a tricky one to beat but not impossible.
  • 3 of 9: If you attack him from the front, you'll never hit him. He has a shield, remember?
  • 4 of 9: You won't be able to get behind him either, since he is too quick for you.
  • 5 of 9: You will need to attack from the side.
  • 6 of 9: To do this, tap away at him repeatedly until he moves toward the water.
  • 7 of 9: Keep tapping anyway, and eventually he will turn slightly, to avoid falling in.
  • 8 of 9: This is your chance to tap away, and it shouldn't take more than a half-dozen good hits to destroy him.
  • 9 of 9: Killing him opens the door.
