The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening/Bosses: Difference between revisions

'''Dethl''', the Nightmare King, is the final boss of the game. There are six stages that represent mainly past challenges from '''A Link to the Past'''. First, he morphs into a '''Giant Bot''' that jumps slowly towards you. You can defeat it easily sprinkling magic powder on it 3 times. After that, he will morph into '''Agahnim''', from '''A Link to the Past'''. You can only hurt him by bouncing back his magic spheres with a sword hit. Beware, sometimes he shoots small spheres that explode when they collide or are hit. After taking enough damage, he will morph into '''Moldorm''' with the same attack pattern as before. When you defeat it, Dethl will turn into '''Ganon''' (in his '''A Link to the Past''' incarnation). He will attack with his trident, tossing it at you with a spining movement and then teleporting to catch it. When he starts spining his trident without tossing it, a horde of flaming bats will materialize and attack you one by one (you can avoid them using the Hookshot). When you hurt him enough,  Dethl will become '''Lanmola''' and start chasing you quickly, but you can destroy it with a spin attack. After that, Dethl reverts to his true form: a huge eye with two spinning morningstar arms that can only be avoided by jumping. You can hurt Dethl only when he opens his eye, either with arrows or the boomerang. When you use the boomerang, there is no reaction in the eye, but you ARE damaging him heavily (the boomerang can sometimes kill him with one or two attacks). When you defeat Dethl in his final form, you will have cleared the game. Congratulations.
