Koloktos, Ancient Automaton is a large golden mechanical statue found in Ancient Cistern, seemingly lifeless until empowered by Ghirahim as punishment for Link disturbing him in his endeavor to revive his master. It uses several weapons including axes which it throws like boomerangs, large swords which Link can pick up and use against it, and its fists.
Boss Strategy
Phase 1
During the first part of the battle, Koloktos holds two throwing axes in its upper hands, and will throw them at Link when he is out of range of his other hands. These can be dodged and lured into walls, pillars, or the ground. When they break, Koloktos will conjure new ones to replace them for the next attack. Move in a little closer, and it will try to smash Link with the fists on its middle two arms. If Link dodges these, they'll be stuck in the ground long enough for Link to pull out his Whip and use it to unscrew one or both of the arms.
With the first two arms detached, Koloktos will be forced to use its third pair, temporarily revealing its weak spot - a red heart at the core of its golden body. If Link gets close enough - but not too close, or he'll be knocked back by the upper arms with the axes - Koloktos will attempt to smash him with its lower two arms. This is Link's chance to rush in and attack the core. If this is too dangerous, he can also use the Whip to unscrew these arms just like the first two, leaving the core completely unprotected.
Phase 2
After the orb has been damaged enough, Koloktos will reveal its legs and begin to walk around the room, holding a large sword in each of its six hands. Now the orb will be shielded by a metal cage. If Link is close enough, Koloktos will slash at Link with all of the swords on one side of its body. Use the whip to unscrew one hand, and then run over to the sword that Koloktos was holding. Similar to The Wind Waker, these swords can be picked up and used by Link. With one of these, Link can break the pillars around the room to reveal hearts. These swords can also break off Koloktos' limbs and, more importantly, smash the cage protecting the orb. Continue slashing away until Koloktos reforms. Repeat this process until Koloktos finally goes down.
