Ghirahim: Difference between revisions

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 & he can hit you from a lot further away than you think. He 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 [[Sword Beam]]s 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 sword beams 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.
