Bellum's exact origins are unknown. One day, Bellum appeared and began draining all [[Life Force]], an energy which every living being in the world possesses, that he could possibly gather. [[Oshus]], the Ocean King, attempted to stop Bellum, but Bellum proved too powerful and trapped Oshus at the bottom of the [[Temple of the Ocean King]], continually draining him of his Life Force. Bellum then proceeded to create the [[Sand of Hours|Sands of Hours]], a crystallised form of Oshus' Life Force, using it to create monsters that he sent forth to seal away the Spirits of [[Leaf|Power]], [[Neri|Wisdom]], and [[Ciela|Courage]]. He also created the [[Ghost Ship]] to develop a myth of treasure to lure more victims into Bellum's trap for him to drain their Life Force. Bellum's greed attracted him to [[Tetra]] due to her great amount of Life Force and eventually manages to ensnare her, draining her Life Force and turning her to stone. This is not discovered by [[Link]] and [[Linebeck]] until the completion of the fourth boss, defeating the [[Cubus Sisters|Diabolical Cubus Sisters]] on the Ghost Ship. After uncovering Tetra's fate, Oshus reveals himself to Link and Linebeck as the Ocean King and explains to them his history with Bellum. Eventually, Link makes it to the end of the Temple of the Ocean King, to the "Stairway to Bellum", after which he must face the Evil Phantom himself. After supposedly defeating the foul beast once and for all, Link and Linebeck witness the curse lift from Tetra, only to watch her be snatched up by the undefeated evil after Oshus offers a quick warning and explanation; the curse on Oshus is weakened, but not yet lifted. Following a ship battle and possession of Linebeck, Link finally defeats Bellum, lifting the curse on the Ocean King who now reveals his true form, a great white whale, and restores peace to the world. | Bellum's exact origins are unknown.

[[File:Bellum PH.gif|left|thumb|Bellum during his first phase.]]The battle begins with Bellum spitting out balls of purple ooze at Link. Link can easily avoid being hit by the ooze. However, if the balls miss, they will splash on the ground and turn into [[Bellum Slime Minion|Slime Minions]]. These minions can easily be defeated with the [[Phantom Sword]] or the [[Grappling Hook]]. These attacks of Bellum are relatively weak and are easy to avoid. If the [[Spirit of Wisdom]] is at level two, equip it and the ooze will have no effect on Link. Use the grappling hook on Bellum to pull off pieces of purple ooze from its body. Keep doing this until all the ooze has been removed revealing only Bellum's green body. Then use the grappling hook on the small ooze part at the top to pull Bellum towards you. Equip the [[Spirit of Power]] and strike at Bellum's eye repeatedly. | [[File:Bellum PH.gif|left|thumb|Bellum during his first phase.]]The battle begins with Bellum spitting out balls of purple ooze at Link.

After feeling the wrath of Link's sword, Bellum will hop out of the pool and head through to the second floor. Follow him up using the spiral staircase. Equip the [[Bow]] and circle around the room. Shoot an [[Arrow]] out at each of Bellum's tentacles. They each have an eye and once they are hit, they will turn purple. Be careful of the tentacles, as Bellum tries to use them as a whip to hit Link. Hit all five of them and Bellum will no longer be able to support himself and he will crash down back to the first floor. Run back down the stairs and Bellum will be back in his pool of ooze. Repeat the process you did before, using the grappling hook to yank off the ooze and then to pull Bellum close to you. Be careful as with each squirt, Bellum shoots out three splashes of purple ooze. After some more strikes with the Phantom Sword, Bellum will once again flee to the second floor. | After feeling the wrath of Link's sword, Bellum will hop out of the pool and head through to the second floor.

[[File:Bellum.PH.gif|right|thumb|Bellum's final phase.]]Bellum's last stand and it is quite the battle. Bellum's new massive form is invulnerable at the front, but his weak spot is at its back. While Bellum moves quite slowly, he does turn quickly, so Link can't just circle around to his weak point. Just as in the previous battle, wait for Ciela to send out a Phantom Sphere. Get it just as you did before, freeze time, and run to Bellum's back side and strike at him with your sword. Wait, this doesn't even hurt bellum.

Wait, this doesn't even hurt bellum. Ciela will make this observation and the explanation is because Bellum's eye isn't open. Ciela flies to check on Bellum's back eye. Once it opens, she is ready to release another Phantom Sphere but before she can do so she is captured by one of Bellum's tentacles. | ||
While she has been captured, she still assists Link with her vision. What she views can be seen on the top screen. However, she no longer can release Phantom Sphere's, so Link is on his own in battle. Slash at Bellum a few times and he will jump to the side. Immediately change your direction and attack Bellum before he can get sword swipe of his own. Eventually the two of you will lock swords. At this point rapidly rub the stylus back and forth to break Bellum's guard and then quickly strike at his belly with your Phantom Sword, bringing him down to one knee. | While she has been captured, she still assists Link with her vision.

While he is stunned for a short period of time, his grip on Ciela weakens and she is able to release a Phantom Sphere. Quickly run and grab the sphere. Watch through Ciela's view of the back of Bellum. Once Bellum's backside eye has opened up, quickly use the Phantom Hourglass to freeze time. Then run behind Bellum and strike at his eye with the Phantom Sword. Be sure to equip the Spirit of Power to inflict extra damage. Time will return to normal and Bellum will get angrier. Bellum will now perform a large spin attack, which is almost impossible to avoid. Just try to roll out of the way. | While he is stunned for a short period of time, his grip on Ciela weakens and she is able to release a Phantom Sphere. Quickly run and grab the sphere.

Alternatively, if you have finished the trading sequence and acquired the swordsman's scroll, you can use the "great spin attack" to counter Bellum's spin attack. Then simply keep battling him using the same method as mentioned before until he has been defeated once and for all. | ||
