Kholdstare: Difference between revisions

The first phase of the battle consists of Kholdstare just being in a block of ice while making ice fall from the ceiling. To melt the block of ice, use the [[Fire Rod]] eight times.{{Ref|pg. 156|Warm things up with the Fire Rod.

In order to damage them, Link can use either his [[Sword]] or [[Fire Rod]];{{Ref|pg. 156|A combination of using the Fire Rod and the Sword is a great way to destroy him.|''A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide''}} the Sword is easier, but the Fire Rod is more affective. This boss battle is much easier if Link has acquired the Magic Meter upgrade from [[Kakariko Village]]. [[Fairy|Fairies]] and such might help as well, but magic is more important in this fight. After killing all three of the bodies, Kholdstare is defeated, leaving behind a [[Heart Container]]. Link can then grab the container, as well as the fifth [[Crystal]].{{Ref|pg. 73|Finish off the eyeballs to gain a Heart Container—and another crystal!|''Nintendo Power A Link to the Past Four Swords Strategy Guide''}}
