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 grab 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 will 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.

After the core 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 core 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, then run over to the sword that Koloktos was holding. Similar to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|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. Koloktos has now hidden the Whip targets on its arms, so Link must use the large sword to chop off the arms when they get stuck in the ground. Once all the arms are off, go for the legs in order to lower the body ― and the core ― into striking level. Continue slashing away at the heart until Koloktos reforms.
