If the room is completely dark, only Link's [[Magic Rod]] or [[Bow]] can kill a Boo Buddy, taking four arrows or one hit with the Magic Rod to defeat a Boo Buddy. If Link tries to slash them with his [[Sword]] when the room is dark, the Boo Buddies are not harmed, but instead, they blink, disappear, and reappear a few spaces away. The easiest way for Link to take down a Boo Buddy is to light the torches in the room, then quickly slash them with his sword.{{Ref|pg. 37|Attack them with your Sword to defeat them.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}} Another way is for Link to wait for them to leave the room once spooked.{{Ref|pg. 66|Earn the Power Bracelet by defeating the Boo Buddies when you spook them with lighted lamps.|''Nintendo Power Issue 094''}} Once the Boo Buddies are defeated, Link is rewarded with the Power Bracelet.{{Ref|pg. 37|Defeating them makes the Treasure Chest that holds the Power Bracelet appear.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}}
