Bellum is the main antagonist and final boss of Phantom Hourglass. He can be fought once you reach the thirteenth floor of the Temple of the Ocean King. His battle has a total of three phases.
Description
Bellum is a large, jellyfish-like creature with a patterned gold-yellow coloured body and a toothed "mouth" surrounding Bellum's singular black eye, with orange and yellow iris. He possesses a short, darkly coloured tentacle, and 5 evenly spaced, black tendrils or "marginal tentacles" with large ovular tips adorned with eye patterns that appear the same as Bellum's eye, reminiscent of a peacock's "eye feather" patterns.
Background and Plot Development
Bellum's exact origins are unknown. One day, Bellum appeared and began draining all Life Force, an energy which every living being in the world possesses, that he could possibly gather. Oshus, the Ocean King, attempted to stop Bellum, but Bellum proved too powerful and trapped Oshus at the bottom of the Temple of the Ocean King, continually draining him of his Life Force. Bellum then proceeded to create the Sands of Hours, a crystallised form of Oshus' Life Force, using it to create monsters that he sent forth to seal away the Spirits of Power, Wisdom, and Courage. He also created the Ghost Ship to develop a myth of treasure to lure more victims into Bellum's trap for him to drain their Life Force. Bellum's greed attracted him to Tetra due to her great amount of Life Force and eventually manages to ensnare her, draining her Life Force and turning her to stone. This is not discovered by Link and Linebeck until the completion of the fourth boss, defeating the Diabolical Cubus Sisters on the Ghost Ship. After uncovering Tetra's fate, Oshus reveals himself to Link and Linebeck as the Ocean King and explains to them his history with Bellum. Eventually, Link makes it to the end of the Temple of the Ocean King, to the "Stairway to Bellum", after which he must face the Evil Phantom himself. After supposedly defeating the foul beast once and for all, Link and Linebeck witness the curse lift from Tetra, only to watch her be snatched up by the undefeated evil after Oshus offers a quick warning and explanation; the curse on Oshus is weakened, but not yet lifted. Following a ship battle and possession of Linebeck, Link finally defeats Bellum, lifting the curse on the Ocean King who now reveals his true form, a great white whale, and restores peace to the world.
Strategy
Phase One: Bellum, Evil Phantom
Use the Grappling Hook on Bellum's ooze in order to pull its eyes closer to Link. Proceed to slash away. After feeling the wrath of Link's sword, Bellum hops out of the pool and head through the ceiling. Follow him up using the spiral staircase. Equip the bow and circle around the room. Shoot an arrow out at each of Bellum's tentacles. They each have an eye and once they are hit, they turn purple. Repeat the process for all eyes.
After a scene involving Oshus, Ciela restores her memory and is confirmed to be the Spirit of Time and Courage. Collect the large Phantom Sphere the fairy emits and use it to upgrade the Phantom Hourglass. Draw the hourglass symbol to stop time and slash at Bellum's eye. Repeat until the first phase is complete.
Phase Two: Ghost Ship
Bellum possesses the Ghost Ship. Link must avoid being hit by this form's pink ooze. Maneuvering the S.S. Linebeck, Link must shoot at Bellum's eyes sprouting from the Ghost Ship in order to save Tetra.
Phase Three: Bellum
Bellum's final form is a lumbering mass. Link cannot circle it over, however, as Bellum turns around quickly. Ciela releases a Phantom Sphere in order to assist Link, but this has no effect on Bellum. Realizing this, Ciela flies to observe Bellum's back eyeballs which are closed. She succeeds in opening them but is caught by Bellum's tentacles.
The battle ignites with Ciela's perspective on the top screen. Eventually, Link and Bellum engage in sword gridlock. Tap the touchscreen rapidly in order for Link to slash Bellum's body with his Phantom Sword. This brings the boss down to one knee. A short stun period will follow during which Ciela releases a Phantom Sphere. Link must stop time and slash at Bellum's back. This provokes more anger from Bellum, who begins unleashing additional spin attacks. This process can be repeated until he is defeated.
