FOUR SWORDS - BOSS GUIDE

The Palace Of Four Swords Boss: Dark Links

NOTE: You need to complete all of Four Swords to unlock "The Palace Of Four Swords" in A Link To The Past.

First Dark Link
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.

Second Dark Link
This 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.

Third Dark Link
This 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.

Fourth Dark Link
The 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!!

Sea Of Trees boss: Plant Nightmare

This is only a guide as depending on the number of players, it's different everytime. 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!

Talus Cave Boss: Ice Monster

This is only a guide as depending on the number of players, it's different everytime. IceMonster 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's frozen on the wall, a player can swipe him with the sword to thaw him out).

Death Mountain Boss: Master Flame

This is only a guide as depending on the number of players, it's different everytime. 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.

Vaati's Palace Boss: Vaati

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:

First Form Vaati
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!

Second Form Vaati
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...

Third Form Vaati
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
