Ghirahim: Difference between revisions

For the final phase, Ghirahim summons a giant sword. You'll have to completely change your strategy; he stops using sword beams, 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, & swithes his defensive stance when you've hit the blade 3 times, 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 take abut a seconds pause between each swing at his blade, he will hold it up for a while.
