The Minish Cap Bosses

Big Green ChuChu

Dungeon Boss: Big Green Chuchu Threat: 2/10 Attacks: 1/4 Contact

Pre-Battle: After entering the boss room a short cut scene will play. In the cut scene, you will see a chuchu appear and hop toward the shrine and it will disappear into the shrine. After the cut scene, you will see balls of jelly fall to the ground and dissolve. The frequency of the jelly balls will start out slow, speed up, and slow down again. After the last jelly ball has dissolved, a gigantic chuchu will fall into the room.

---

-The battle begins with the chuchu slowly moving toward you. It may also jump high in the air and try to land on you. Avoid the chuchu and use your gust jar to suck up its foot. Once enough of the foot has been sucked up, the chuchu will sway back and forth in large movements while trying to follow you until, finally, it falls over. I twill always fall over toward the side you are standing on. Once he's fallen down, slash away at its head. Eventually, the chuchu will stand upright again and regrow its foot.

-You will need to repeat the same process at least two(2) more times to defeat the chuchu. After enough damage has been caused to it, the chuchu will begin jumping much more frequently. This will not, however, affect the battle process. -After slashing the chuchu enough, it will begin to explode. After a bunch of small explosions, the chuchu will explode into a cartoony puff. After a few seconds, the Wind Element will float down into Link's hands. Congratulations on your first element. A heart container and a warp tile will be left behind. Grab the heart container(if you want it) and head through the warp tile to go back to the dungeon entrance.

Vaati Reborn

Final Boss (Phase One): Vaati Reborn

Threat: 6/10

Attacks: 0 teleporting 1/4 contact 1/2 eyes 1/2 clouded eyes 1 fire (also makes link run around fast) 1 eye beams 4 dark cloud (up to this much)

After the long barrage of enemies you can go up the stairs and a cutscene will begin. In the cutscene Vaati explains how close he is to being finished with draining the light force from Princess Zelda(isn't he a charming fellow?). He will then open a hole in the ground where Link is standing and you will fall down into the previous room. Vaati will appear in front of you and explains that he will defeat you, and quickly transforms into his first incarnation.

---

-The battle begins with Vaati sending out two(2) small eyes that spin around him quickly. Standing where you started and swinging your sword should destroy them quick, causing a big eye on his stomach to open. This is his weak spot, so swing like crazy at it. If you take too long to destroy the eyes, he may shoot fireballs in random directions and eventually pull in the eyes and send a small, dark cloud after you. These clouds deal heavy damage if they hit you. However, you can suck them in with the gust jar or just outrun them. The eye will eventually close and he will shake around for a moment, invulnerable.

-The next stage of the battle is similar except he now brings out four(4) eyes to spin around. These eyes will also stop every so often and shoot beams straight down the screen. Vaati may also teleport around occasionally. Repeat the process of destroying the eyes and slashing at his big eye. When the big eye shuts, he will shake about more and bring out four(4) more eyes.

-In this stage he will move around more often and teleport more, but the process is the same. After the eyes are destroyed, however, he will teleport to avoid you hitting his big eye. After the eye shuts, he will shake about more and bring out four(4) eyes covered by dark clouds.

-In this stage, you will have to use the gust jar to suck the dark clouds off the eyes to make them vulnerable. The process is, once again, the same. Vaati will, however, teleport much more often and move left to right when the eyes shoot beams. When his big eye is opened, he will teleport quite a bit more often. Once his eye shuts, he will shake around even more and the process will repeat two(2) more times.

-After slashing his eye enough, he will start exploding and the screen will go white. You'll then be teleported to the next part of the battle.

Vaati Transfigured

Dungeon Boss(Phase Two): Vaati Transfigured Threat: 8/10 Attacks: 0 Contact... 1/4 Contact with Dark Spikes... 1/2 Falling Rocks... 1/2 Launched Dark Spikes... 1 Electric Orbs...

Pre-Battle: You will be transported to a new room after defeating Vaati Reborn. Vaati will then commend you for your bravery and assure your defeat. He will then float down in front of you and explain that his power is beyond your comprehension. He will insult the Four Sword and promptly transform.

---

-After his rude statements, the battle will begin. The first part requires you to shoot at his eight(8) giant eyes with arrows. Watch out for him shooting bunches of purple spikes. The spikes can be destroyed for occasional arrow refills or hearts. He will also cause rocks to fall from the ceiling and shoot electric orbs at you. After four(4) of his eyes have turned reddish-orange, you must clone yourself using the Four Sword in the same pattern as the vulnerable eyes. Once cloned correctly, you must avoid the dark spikes on the ground, along with the other obstacles, working your way to the vulnerable eyes. Once close enough to Vaati swing your sword so all the vulnerable eyes are hit at once. If done correctly, the eyes will disappear and Vaati will fall down, vulnerable. Swing your sword wildly at his center eye to damage him. He will eventually get back up and his eyes will reappear.

- In the second part of the fight, Vaati will be slightly more aggressive in his attacks and movements. The pattern of vulnerable eyes will also change, but the process is the same shoot his eyes with arrows until four(4) are reddish-orange and vulnerable. Clone yourself to match the eye pattern and avoid all attacks and obstacles until you reach him. Hit the four(4) vulnerable eyes simultaneously, and Vaati will become vulnerable again. Swing at his eye to damage him until he brings his eyes back.

-In the third part of the fight, Vaati will be significantly more aggressive with the electric orbs and much more aggressive in his movements. The pattern of vulnerable eyes will be different again, but the process is still the same. Shoot his eyes until four(4) are vulnerable, clone yourself to match the pattern of vulnerable eyes, slash the eyes simultaneously, and slash his main eye repeatedly.

-In the fourth part of the fight, Vaati never stops moving around, but he is still just as aggressive with his attacks. Another new eye pattern is in place, but, again, the process hasn't changed. Repeat the process from the last three parts of the battle while avoiding his attacks and quick movements.

-If Vaati isn't destroyed after four(4) processes, he may need 1-2 more. His aggressiveness will not change, but the pattern will. Once Vaati has taken enough hits, he will begin to explode.

-Vaati will exclaim of his godly power and unstoppable might. He will question his loss to a child, and explode into a cartoony puff. You will then be transported to the battleground of the first phase of the Final Battle. Ezlo will comment on your impressive work and the door at the top of the room will open.

Vaati's Wrath

Dungeon Boss(Phase Three): Vaati's Wrath Threat: 10/10

Attacks: 1/2 Contact with Vaati... 1/2 Contact with Arms... 1/2 Arm Beams(from the ground arms)... 1/2 Eye Beams... 1 Electric Balls.. 1 Arm sweep... 1 Arm spin(from the ground arms)... 2 Arm from the ground...

Pre-Battle: After restoring Zelda and working your way to the Sanctuary, a lightning bolt will drop in front of Link and Zelda. Vaati's voice will be heard. He claims they will not escape, and that Link will see the true power of the Light Force. He will then call himself "the master of this world." Link will then be transported to a new battleground, with cloning tiles and a size converter. Vaati will float down, grow two(2) arms and four(4) eyes. Then, the battle will begin.

---

-The battle will begin with Vaati chasing after and possibly shooting you with balls of electricity. He will then force one of his arms into the ground. His arm will pop out where you are standing, and unless you move quick enough, you'll get hurt pretty bad. Once his arm is above ground, it may swing around a few times or shoot small orbs at you. You can shoot the arm with the Cane of Pacci and it will reveal a small opening. Use the size converter behind Vaati to shrink down to Minish size and enter the small hole. Inside, you'll see ten(10) small bladed objects with eyes. All of them are invincible except for one. The one that is not invincible has a brighter eye than the others. Once you have destroyed the correct object, the room will begin to shake. Exit the room and the arm will blow up in four(4) sections. Return to the size converter and return to normal size.

-The second arm is taken out in much the same way. Lure Vaati to force the arm underground and dodge the arm when it comes up from the ground. Be careful to avoid any attacks by the arm and hit it with the Cane of Pacci. Shrink down and enter the hole the arm. Once inside, you will find ten(10) more bladed objects. This time, however, you'll need the lantern to find the correct bladed object. Once you've destroyed the correct object, exit the room and the arm will explode. Vaati will then grow four tiny wings and the small eyes in front of him will spread out a little bit.

-The second part of the battle involves the Four Sword and Vaati pummeling you with tons of electric balls. You must clone yourself and hit the beams Vaati shoots from his four(4) eyes back at him. These beams must hit the eyes they came from. However, there is no set pattern for how many times he will shoot electricity before shooting the eye beams, so watch out. The electric balls will travel in a wave every time, but if an electric ball hits you or any of your clones, you'll get shocked and lose all of your clones. Once you've deflected all the beams correctly, the eyes will dissappear and Vaati will lose his wings and fall down. Once he has fallen down, he is vulnerable. Swing your sword like crazy until he regrows his wings and eyes.

-The same process must be repeated two(2) more times for Vaati to be defeated. Clone, dodge, deflect, swing. After Vaati has taken enough he will begin to explode, starting with his eye.

-Vaati will call you a fool and remark of his once great power. He will then start bursting in five(5) places and start blowing up everywhere. The screen will turn white.

-Congratulations! You've just beaten the best GBA game ever. Sit back and watch the ending cut scene.
