Malladus is the final Boss in Spirit Tracks. His past is briefly touched upon; he was apparently a Demon King that wanted to destroy everything, but was stopped by the Gods. There was a huge fight, and eventually Malladus was captured and sealed by the Tower of Spirits.[1] When the Spirit Tracks started disappearing, Malladus' seal got weakened, and with the help of Chancellor Cole usurping Princess Zelda's body, Malladus was able to get free.[2][3][4] That is, until Link stops his plans.

Appearance

Malladus' spirit appears as a blue skull with red eyes, resembling a Bubble. When he takes over Zelda's body, he appears as a twisted version of Zelda, with pale skin and red eyes. In his demon form, he is a blue horned beast that somewhat resembles Ganon.

Battle

Phase 1: Malladus: Possessed Zelda and Chancellor Cole

Phantom Zelda moving along the train

During the first phase, the goal is to march the Phantom all the way to Malladus at the far end of the train. As Link and the Phantom walk towards Puppet Zelda, Cole will set off various traps to stop them. One of these traps is Cole summoning magical rats that will surround the phantom. Link must slash all the rats away before they can reach the phantom. If they do, Cole will then be able to control the phantom with some magical strings. Link would need to pull out the boomerang and trace a path so the strings can be cut. Keep pressing on with the phantom and keep Link behind the phantom to protect from the lasers that Puppet Zelda shoots out.

After finally reaching Puppet Zelda, trace a path so that the Phantom picks up Puppet Zelda. Link can then walk to the very edge of the train and pull out the Bow. While Malladus and the Phantom are moving through the air, Link can shoot a Light Arrow into Puppet Zelda to finish this phase.

Phase 2: Malladus, the Demon King

Malladus then uses the life force of Chancellor Cole to turn into a demon. Link must defend Zelda as she powers up. Malladus shoots out streams of fireballs which Link must deflect. Link and Zelda then play a song with the Lokomo, finally defeating Malladus by impaling his forehead with the Lokomo Sword.
