After venturing through the Sandship for awhile Link soon found himself on a long gangplank outside where Scervo stood staring out at the [[Lanayru Sand Sea|sand sea]], soon after being alerted of his presence however, the Pirate let out a static roar of anger and began to charge the young hero. In response Link too began to charge as the exit was blocked by a spiked gate now while behind Scervo was nothing but a treacherous fall into the sinksand below, this more or less had now became an extreme game of survival, only one of them was gonna make it out of this fight and it had to be Link. Using his saber in an attempt to thrust Link backward into the spiky gate that laid behind him, the young hero utilized his [[Shield Bash|Shield Bashing]] skills to knock Scervo off his balance, however after this the robotic pirate began to guard with his saber similar to the way the [[Stalfos]] in the game guarded with their own swords. Seeking out the opening Scervo left, Link quickly jabbed at him any chance he got and sent to pirate stumbling back a ways, however the young hero may need to jump back a bit himself for Scervo will quickly swipe at him when pushed back a certain amount. Now using more dangerous attacks, Link must watch out for what Scervo does next, as if he isn't careful he may just find himself knocked back and render paralyzed for a brief moment. After some more carefully timed thrusts the young hero successfully managed to drive Scervo to the end of the plank, here the robotic pirate loses his sword as it falls overboard but managed to stay put himself, drawing another sword quickly afterwards. With the spiked gate behind Link now moved up a ways, the second phase of this battle began, this time around Scervo is noticeably more aggressive and Link must truly be cautious as he may just find himself getting knocked back much more if he pressed his luck. Link eventually managed to once again send the robotic pirate backwards to the end of the plank, but like before he just manages to stay aboard the ship, albeit the force of Link driving him back that time made him lose his other sword along with the arm that held it entirely. Armed with nothing but the hook on his left hand now, the spiked gate moved up even more and the third and final round begins as Scervo charges Link’s way. This time around Scervo’s defensive and offensive skills are noticeably lacking as he just has his hook which he used in an attempt to swipe and jab at the young hero, Link can easily shield bash these attacks however and possibly even send the robotic pirate hurdling back to the end in one go, as if Link mostly slashes him from the left hand side Scervo has little chance of being able to block it. After this final phase Link successfully managed to drive the pirate to the end of the plank a final time, his hook then explodes as well and in having no way to stay aboard the ship now, Scervo fell to his doom and blew up upon impact when he landed atop the sinksand below.  
Scervo will move the spike even closer, but this time he doesn't have a sword. You don't have much room behind you at all, but because he doesn't have a sword, it's easier to land hits. During this phase it's important to be more aggressive. When he is winding up to hit you, deliver a hit before he can do so, and he'll be sent back. You'll need to be more precise with your shield bash in order to knock Scervo back. Keep at it and knock him off the edge.

Scervo is the Mini-Boss of the Sandship dungeon in Skyward Sword, being the one who stole Skipper's ship long ago, this skeletal robot pirate is truly a force to be reckoned with. With an electrically charged saber and a pirate hook, Link must truly be careful when battling this robotic menace of the sand sea, as one false move could have him end up in shock.

History

Many years before the events of the game, Scervo and his terrible crew of pirates seized control of Skipper's ship, and soon afterwards locked the previous crew away within the ship somewhere. Even in the present when Link brings Skipper back to life through the use of the Timeshift Stone, the robot Captain continues to express his fear towards this dreadful Pirate; however he seems reassured that Link could do something about him as the two of them begin to search for his ship.

Boss Strategy

First Phase

Attacking Scervo with the sword

The whole battle takes place on a narrow platform. Run forward and the battle will begin. Strike at Scervo where its sword and shield are not blocking. Follow-up with consecutive sword slashes to knock Scervo back. You can use straight forward sword jabs to knock him back as they are quite effective. The key is that if Scervo blocks any of your attacks, he'll immediately follow it up with an attack of his own, so take a step back. Alternatively, when Scervo attacks you can deliver a shield bash, stunning Scervo in the process. You can also use the Gust Jar to stop Scervo from moving, and keeping him back near the edge of the platform. Keep hitting Scervo to knock him towards the end of the plank. This will cause Scervo to pull the wooden spike at the end of the platform closer, making the battle space smaller.

Second Phase

Scervo attacking Link

Repeat the same process of slowly but surely knocking Scervo back. During the second phase, Scervo will sometimes attack twice in a row, so be patient. It's important to get successful hits early on, to avoid the spike that is at your back. Keep knocking Scervo back until he's right at the edge.

Scervo will move the spike even closer, but this time he doesn't have a sword. You don't have much room behind you at all, but because he doesn't have a sword, it's easier to land hits. During this phase it's important to be more aggressive. When he is winding up to hit you, deliver a hit before he can do so, and he'll be sent back. You'll need to be more precise with your shield bash in order to knock Scervo back. Keep at it and knock him off the edge.
