Spirit Tracks Bosses: Difference between revisions

{{CD|file=Skeldritch-Fan-Artwork.png|link=Skeldritch|desc=[[Skeldritch]] is the boss of the fifth dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', the [[Sand Temple]]. When the battle begins, Skeldritch will shoot boulders out of the lower part of its body. Link will need to stop a boulder with the [[Sand Wand]] and then maneuver it onto one of the catapults surrounding the platform. Upon hitting the switch, the boulder will fly across the room and hit Skeldritch, removing a part of its body. This causes Skeldritch's weak spot to change as well; the first time it's on Skeldritch's right side, then behind, and then behind and to the left. Link will need to place boulders on the catapults and then run around the room so the catapult is in line with Skeldritch's unarmored weak spot. The [[Bow]], [[Boomerang]], or even timed [[Bomb]]s to blow up the switches and launch the catapult.<br/><br/>After removing the last of Skeldritch's lower body parts, only the head will remain. The final phase of the battle can be quite hectic. Link can use the sand wand to create a massive wall of sand surrounding Skeldritch. Skeldritch will begin eating away at the sand, so the sand protection won't last long. Link must very quickly run to the backside of Skeldritch and slash away at purple spot at the back of its head. In order to accomplish this, Link must be elevated on top of sand in order to reach the jewel on Skeldritch's head. After repeating this process a few times, Skeldritch will finally be defeated.}}

{{CD|file=Demon Train.png|link=Demon Train|desc=The [[Demon Train]] is a boss found within the [[Dark Realm]]. During the first part of the boss fight, the Demon Train drops explosive barrels out of the sides of its last car to hit the Spirit Train. Link must blast these barrels with the cannon before they drop out in order to cause damage to the Demon Train. Once Link damages the Demon Train enough, the last car falls off from the rest of the train. In the second phase of the fight, Link must destroy the Demon Train's second car. On this car, the Demon Train has four laser cannons that fire at the Spirit Train. Link must shoot each cannon twice to damage the second part of the Demon Train and break it off from the engine. Link must also make sure to avoid the Train when it switches tracks; dropping the Spirit Train's speed and switching its own track when necessary.<br/><br/> The final phase of the fight consists of Link facing off with the engine of the Demon Train. The engine (the very front part of the train) has multiple rotating lasers that all fire simultaneously. Link has to shoot each crystal that is producing the lasers. After this is done, he can proceed to speed up and shoot at the Demon Train's face at the front of the engine. After repeating the process, the Demon Train will be defeated and Link moves on to his fight with [[Chancellor Cole]].}} 

{{CD|file=MalladusCole-Artwork.png|link=Malladus|caption=Malladus, the Demon King|desc=The first phase of the battle involves protecting [[Princess Zelda]] from the numerous fireballs Malladus shoot out. The first few will be direct shots that are easy to deflect, but then he'll start shooting fireballs that trail off to the side and come around from the right or left to hit Zelda. Link will need to move around and hit the fireballs before they hit Zelda. At one point Malladus will shoot four fireballs at once, for which Link will need to stand as close to Zelda as possible, and use a spin attack to deflect all four fireballs. Once Princess Zelda has full charged up her power, she says she needs to combine her sacred power with power of the Spirit Flute. Princess Zelda will then teach Link a very challenging song on the Spirit Flute.<br/><br/> Playing the song reveals a shining weak spot on the back of Malladus. Link now needs to distract Malladus so that its back is facing Princess Zelda, who posses the Bow of Light. Link can run around the area and slash at the legs of Malladus until there is a clear shot of the weak spot of Malladus. When the cursor on Malladus turns yellow, tap the arrow at the bottom of the screen to deliver a Light Arrow shot. After being shot with three arrows Malladus will fall to the ground. Link can then run over and slash at the gem that is on its forehead. After attacking it enough times part of Malladus' horn will fall off. Repeating the process for a second time will allow Link to cut off the second horn. Once Malladus is stunned for a third time, Link can run over and jab the sword into Malladus' forehead. Quickly rub the stylus on the bottom screen as Princess Zelda assists to defeat Malladus for good.}}
