Phantom Ganon is a miniboss from Tears of the Kingdom.
Tears of the Kingdom
Phantom Ganon can appear in various locations around Hyrule and the Depths. He first appears as a Gloom Spawn - a mass of five hands with eyes surrounded by gloom. After defeating the five hands, Phantom Ganon may appear.
Phantom Ganon has a variety of attacks. He has a bow with which he can shoot from afar, and he can teleport to Link's location. He can also attack and charge with his sword. He is surrounded by Gloom, which will damage Link if he stands on it for too long.
Defeating Phantom Ganon will provide rare weapons and materials such as Dark Clumps, the Gloom Sword, and the Demon King's Bow.
A fixed Phantom Ganon encounter is set in the Sanctum of Hyrule Castle and can only be fought as part of the Crisis at Hyrule Castle main quest. This is composed of 3 Phantom Ganons in the first wave and 5 in the second. If this fixed encounter is not defeated, then Link will have to fight 2 waves of 5 Phantom Ganons each before being able to confront Ganondorf in the Depths of Hyrule. Another fixed Phantom Ganon must be defeated in Korok Grove at the bottom of the Deku Tree Chasm to free Korok Forest from being frozen by gloom.
