I am currently fighting a boss named "The Imprisoned" and I CANNOT get past the second phase!! !

The first part is easy because I can just hit his feet with my sword but it gets hard in the second part of the battle because the boss consistently uses his shockwave attack which makes it impossible to get Link close to the toes with the sword!

I'm not sure what the correct strategy & approach would be for this?

Can anyone who has played this game PLEASE help me?!?

Thanks in advance!! !

His shockwave indicates that the toes are a no go this time around. The strategy is to use the whirlwinds to get higher then just jump onto his head and strike the seal. If he starts to climb, use Groose's bombs on one of his hands.

^THANK YOU!! !

This info should be VERY HELPFUL against the boss!


EDIT: I am playing the game right now and took your suggestion of using the air vents to propel myself up to the spike on monster's head but I wasn't able to successfully do it?

What went wrong?

Keep trying. It should work. I'll provide a video showing how it's done when I'm able.

I FINALLY got past first encounter with The Imprisoned!! !

What worked for me was fighting him the normal way the first 2 times (using the sword to slash his toes) then utilizing the big air vent in the middle of the Sealed Grounds during 3rd phase to mount the boss and attack the spike with the sword!

He really wasn't even that hard once I figured out the strategy...

Now I am in a new dungeon in the game called the Ancient Cistern and it feels much different than all the previous dungeons!! !

Is the boss really hard?

Not really but it's an interesting one since you get to use it's own weapons against it in the second phase.

Ooh sounds interesting...

I think the fight against Koloktos would be fun

^It's not a particularly good Zelda but I have been playing it for a while now and want to see the game through to the very end!

The current boss fight is REALLY cool and I can see why it is the stand-out boss battle in the game!! !
