Always Fight In 1 VS 1 Situation

常に1対1の状況で戦う

One of Phantom Ganon always chases Link. It is difficult to run away with a dash and attack with allies' skills. Therefore, always bring it to one on one situation and defeat one by one with Perfect Dodge & Flurry Rush.

Shield Guide - How To Use & Effect | Perfect Guard Tips

The 1st Phase Attack Pattern And How To Deal With It

Avoid Vertical Slashes By Dodging Sideways

Vertical Slash is a common attack pattern when Ganon is approaching. If Ganon runs towards you with swords up, get ready to dodge sideways. There will be a moment before Ganon swings the sword, so dodge at that time to succeed on Perfect Dodge.

Avoid Horizontal Slash By Backfliping

Horizontal Slash is an attack pattern when Ganon is approaching. If Ganon lifts the sword upper left, expect Horizontal Slash. Activate Flurry Rush by backflipping at the moment Ganon swings his sword.

Avoid Spinning Slash By backflipping

If Ganon holds his sword on the right, get ready to dodge Spinning Slash by backflip. Also if the distance between you and Ganon is close, and missed the timing of dodge but use a shield, you will still take damage from the attack. So if you notice Spinning Slash is coming, try to keep some distance between you and the Ganon.

The 2nd Phase Attack Pattern And How To Deal With It

Stop The Enemy That Spreads Gloom

Entering 2nd phase, one of the Ganon will start spreading Gloom. The Gloom will fill out the entire room, so it should be the first priority to stop spreading. Headshot with the bow will prevent Gloom from spreading. Additionally, Ganon will try to spread Gloom several times during the fight, so make sure to deal with it quickly every time.

Avoid Clubs Sideways

The first weapon of the 2nd phase is a sword, but soon Ganon will swap to Club after taking some damage. Ganon will Helm Splitter after jumping so look to dodge sideways and connect to Flurry Rush.

Evade Spear Attack By Dodging Sideways And Rushing

Make sure to dodge the spear attack sideways to connect to Flurry Rush. Also at this point when Ganon swaps to spear, there should only be 2 Ganon left. You will have the advantage so keep calm and attack.
