The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Temple of Time: Difference between revisions

Upon reaching the top floor of the Temple of Time, you'll find someone waiting for you. However, the only thing he's interested in is a duel. This is the mini-boss of the Temple of Time, a Darknut.

Be wary as you face the Darknut, because he is an elite armored warrior with a strong attack. Hop out of the way of his lunges, then counter with your own attacks. The Back Slice and Helm Splitter moves are very effective. As you continue to attack him, his armor will fall off, allowing him to move faster and faster. Eventually, you'll knock all of his armor off. He'll throw his sword at you (which you should dodge), and draw out a small rapier sword. In this stage, the Darknut is very quick, he slashes without warning, and blocks almost all of your normal attacks. Either try using Back Slice and Mortal Draw (Warning: If Mortal Draw gets blocked, you'll probably lose four hearts) or circle him without targeting, listen for him to slash at you, then target him and swing away. Either way, you'll eventually best the warrior and earn access to the Dominion Rod.

The great spider Armogohma crawls on the ceiling, drops large groups of little spiders, and fires lasers from the eye on its back. Avoid the lasers and defeat the little spiders for hearts and arrows while waiting for the spider's eye to open. When it does, hit it with an arrow. A single shot makes the arachnid fall to the ground. Run to the statue closest to the spider, bring it to life, and have it smash Armoghoma. The spider will go back up to the ceiling for another round. You'll seemingly destroy the spider after three hits, but there's one more trick this spider has left: the eye will remain, turning into a spider itself, joined by a horde Baby Gohma. Slice the spider or shoot it with three arrows to finish the battle, collect a heart container, and claim a mirror shard.
