The Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap Walkthrough for Game Boy Advance Game Name: The Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap Format: Game Boy Advance Submitted By: Krykos™ Please note that this guide will only tell you how to defeat the bosses in ‘The Minish Cap’. --------------------------------------- Boss #1 - Giant ChuChu, Deepwood Shrine --------------------------------------- Now that you're tidgy, those ChuChus you've taken for granted suddenly look like killing machines. Use your newly acquired Gust Jar to suck away the base of the ChuChu until it falls over. Keep on hitting it with your sword until it manages to get back up. Repeat this until you beat it. When the ChuChu is close to being beaten, it'll jump around the room just to make your job a little bit harder, but the Gust Jar should sort that out soon enough. --------------------------------- Boss #2 - Gleerok, Cave of Flames --------------------------------- One thing you'll notice as you start the battle is that Gleerok is surrounded by lava, so you can't just stroll up to it and cut it to pieces. Run all the way around the room, dodging any flames that Gleerok spits at you, until it has its back on you. Hit its back with the Cane of Pacci, and it'll be paralysed for a short while. In this time, run along the monster's neck to the centre, and hit the core. When the core disappears, get off Gleerok as it’s about to dive into the lava, and you don't really want to take damage during a boss battle. Stay close to the walls now as the lava pit will expand and then retract. Gleerok will make rocks collapse from the ceiling, so be aware for their shadows, and will also spew out flames that cover a whole section of the arena. Use your Gust Jar to suck away the flames, and sometimes you may get hearts to regain your health. Repeat the process over until Gleerok is defeated. ----------------------------------- Boss #3 - Mazaal, Fortress of Winds ----------------------------------- Mazall is just a floating head with two hands (and I thought Rayman had it bad), but don't let that put you off. When it sends one of its hands out to grab you, avoid it. You should notice that both hands have eyes, and you have to blind them. Get your bow and arrow out and shoot the hands' eyes, then attack them with your sword. The head will become inactive. Go to the side of room, shrink, and enter Mazaal's mouth. Inside, there will be a glowing pillar. Slice away at it until it crumbles, and you'll be dragged back into the arena. Grow, blind the hands, shrink, and go back inside Mazaal. This time, you must use the Mole Mitts to dig around and find the glowing pillar. Hack it, and you'll be dragged outside once again. Be careful of Mazaal's new shrinking ray technique as you'll become vulnerable if you're hit. If you shrink just regrow again. Repeat the procedure, and Mazaal will be inactive for good. ------------------------------------------- Boss #4 - Giant Octorok, Temple of Droplets ------------------------------------------- Another enemy you may have taken for granted over the years is the Octorok, but now it's a massive threat, literally. It'll fire rocks at you, which you must deflect back at it using your shield. When this happens three times, the Octorok will turn into ice, and so will the ground. It'll try to suck you in, so roll around to stop this from happening. Your goal now is to get behind it and set its tail on fire, but because it spins around after you, this can take a few minutes. Once you’re behind it, use the Flame Lantern to set its tail on fire. It'll turn back to normal, and so will the room. The Octorok will now have a new ability, which is turning the lights in the room off and sending rocks crashing down on top of you. Use your latern to find your way around when this happens as you don't want to unnecessarily lose health. Repeat three times, and the Octorok will die. --------------------------------- Boss #5 - Gyorgs, Palace of Winds --------------------------------- I'm gonna be straight with you, this is the toughest battle so far as you have two enemies to defeat. You'll start on a small, blue Gyorg which flies past a larger, red Gyorg. Use Roc's Cape to jump on the red one. Three eyes will appear, and you have to clone Link so you can attack all three eyes at the same time. The blue Gyorg will appear again, and you have to jump onto it. Whilst you are riding it, one of of four eyes will open, and you must slice them when they do. When its tail swings round, use Roc's Cape to jump over it. Eventally, you'll come to the red Gyorg again. Jump onto it and repeat the pattern. This time, though, the blue Gyorg will charge at you and shoot in your direction. This makes it harder to keep your clones long enough to attack the red Gyorg's eyes, but once you do manage it, jump onto the blue Gyorg again and attack its eyes. This part has also increased in difficulty because smaller, green Gyorgs will fly in and attack, but a swift slash with the sword will deal with them. You'll come back to the red one, and you must hit its eyes again whilst the blue one shoots at you. Jump on the blue again, hit eyes, jump back on red, hit eyes, and the battle is over. See, I told you it was hard. ----------------------------------- Boss #6 - Vaati, Dark Hyrule Castle ----------------------------------- Vaati has three different forms, so I'll explain how to defeat all of them individually. ~~~~~~~ Form #1 ~~~~~~~ Use your sword to destroy the eyes that circle Vaati, and then attack the giant eye on him. He'll shoot fireballs at you, but if you roll around, they'll miss. He'll also fire a black hole at you, but the Gust Jar will make it disappear. When he surrounds himself with black holes, use the Gust Jar to suck them away and annihilate the eyes under them. The eyes fire lasers at you as well, so roll to avoid being hit. Repeat until Vaati transforms. ~~~~~~~ Form #2 ~~~~~~~ You should've noticed that a circle of cloning tiles has appeared. Fire arrows at the eyes that circle the giant one until you uncover four red ones. Clone yourself according to where the red eyes are and hit them simultaneously. Now you can attack the giant eye. The surrounding eyes will appear again, and also spikes will appear. Destroy any spikes that are near the cloning tiles otherwise the clones won't last long. They also give you arrows. Repeat until Vaati transforms again. ~~~~~~~ Form #3 ~~~~~~~ Run around until one of Vaati's arms digs into the ground and reappears elsewhere. Use the Cane of Pacci to freeze the arm in place, then shrink and go inside the arm. Look for the odd-eyeball-out (the eye that is the lightest in colour) then attack it. Exit, and the arm will be destroyed. Grow, and repeat for the other arm. The inside of the second arm is pitch black so use the Flame Latern to find your way around. Both arms will be destroyed. Clone yourself and attack the four small eyes on Vaati when they turn blue. They'll shoot lasers, so use your shield to reflect them back into the eyes. Vaati will shoot at you, so roll around to avoid being hit. Clone yourself then attack the large eye so you can do four times the damage. Then repeat over to defeat Vaati for good. Congratulations, Hyrule is back to normal! Celebrate by eating cake, or a carrot stick if you're on a diet. Special thanks to: Nintendo, Capcom and Gameaday.
