====Phase 1==== | ====Phase 1==== | ||
Ghirahim lifts himself and Link up on a platform which he created himself. Ghirahim carries no sword in this phase, so he uses physical attacks like punches and kicks. Since Ghirahim's metallic skin is invulnerable to attacks, the strategy of this fight involves knocking Ghirahim off of the platform. Once he is knocked off, he will summon another platform to catch himself with. You must now perform a fatal blow into the gemstone on his chest. Repeat this method again until Ghirahim is near the edge of the platform. Ghirahim will now have a purple aura around his hands. If you hit his hands, he will flip over you and push you near the edge. Avoid hitting his hands and knock him off of the edge again. Repeat this again to finish this phase. | Ghirahim lifts himself and Link up on a platform which he created himself.

After exposing his weak point (the red gem in his chest), Ghirahim will summon his black saber again. However, this fight is very different from the previous battles. Ghirahim will hold out his sword, allowing him to block attacks with ease, and will attack if you get too close (making it harder to attack his weak point). Instead of conjuring and shooting knives, he will attack with skyward strikes if you're at a distance. These can be deflected with the shield, or returned with a sword slash in the same direction. He sends these horizontally or vertically, and you can stun him by returning these. Be careful, as he can still reflect the skyward strikes you return to him. Once he's stunned, run up to him and stab his chest. Another way to defeat him is to go sword-to-sword with him: shield-bash his attacks and stab at his chest to deal damage. He takes around 5 stabs to defeat, but it takes much longer than it seems, since he puts his guard back up every time he takes a hit. You can beat him very quickly if you charge up a skyward strike, and stab at his chest after shield-bashing his attack. Provided you do this at a distance, the skyward strike will stun him long enough to deal 2 or 3 hits. Repeat until he's down. | |||
====Phase 3==== | ====Phase 3==== | ||
For the final phase, Ghirahim summons a giant sword. You'll have to completely change your strategy; he stops using skyward strikes, and shield-bashes only block his attack (they don't stun him). He will occasionally slash at you with the sword, knocking off a heart if he hits. Don't be fooled by the size of the sword: he attacks surprisingly quickly, and it has a very long reach. To defeat Ghirahim for good, you have to break his sword and stab at his chest again. Slashing at Ghirahim will force him to block your attacks with his sword, but the Master sword will damage Ghirahim's blade. You have a limited time to hack away at his sword and break it completely, before Ghirahim retreats. Throughout the battle, Ghirahim constantly repairs his sword, and occasionally switches his defensive stance, which may cause you to stagger. Be careful when you get knocked back, as Ghirahim will immediately attempt to attack. The easiest way to beat this form is to randomly slash at Ghirahim's sword until it breaks, and stab him until he's down. | |||
