Arrghus (A Link to the Past)

Arrghus is a boss that appears in the Swamp Palace in A Link to the Past.

Boss Strategy

Arrghus' weak spot is protected by small objects that float around its body. Link must use the Hookshot, which is found in the same dungeon, to pull the objects away from the boss and attack it with the sword. You must repeat this process until all objects are defeated. During the second phase, Arrghus will jump into the air and off from the visible area of the screen. Upon landing, the water splashed will damage Link if he comes into contact with it. After landing, Arrghus will move around the room. This is when he is vulnerable to sword strikes.
