Koloktos and Nayru’s Wisdom

1. After the cut scene, you will enter a boss battle against an ancient mechanical warrior known as: Koloktos.
2. Approach the robotic enemy at close range, then wait for him to swing an axe down towards you and execute a dodge so that the blade becomes embedded in the floor. Target the mechanical limb that’s currently stuck in the ground and use your whip to pull it off of Koloktos’ body.
3. Amputate another of the boss’ arms by repeating the previus method, then retreat to a far distance from Koloktos and be ready to evade the twin blades he will eventually throw your way. Wait for Koloktos to sprout two back-up appendages and pound them into the ground like hammers, then dash towards him and use the whip to remove both arms embedded in the floor.
4. Move in even closer to the boss and repeatedly strike the red symbol on his chest with your sword until a cut scene activates in which Koloktos is able to rebuild himself. Pull off one of the lower arms as you did before, then quickly retreat to evade and dodge the boss’ swinging punches afterwards.
5. Remove Koloktos other lower extremity and retreat, then wait for him to pound the ground with two new arms before moving in to amputate both of those as well. Strike the red symbol on the boss’ chest again until he rebuilds, then dodge constantly to avoid the swinging swords and retreat at the next opportunity.
6. Ignore the wave of three enemies that Koloktos’ calls upon and approach him at close range, then dodge the next three-armed attack and use your whip to remove all the limbs now embedded in the ground. Pick up an enormous sword that was dropped from one of the mechanical hands you just amputated, then move in towards the boss and hack off both of his legs in one slash.
7. Strike Koloktos repeatedly with the large sword until he finally explodes in defeat, then collect the Heart Container from his remains and exit the room. Approach the crest on the altar ahead, then strike it with a blast of light energy to upgrade your sword and return to Lake Floria.
8. After speaking with the Water Dragon, return to the sky and navigate your Wingloft back into the Thunderhead area. Fly above the Isle of Songs again and land on it safely by using the Sailcloth, then cross the bridge and enter the tower through the crawlspace on the other end.
9. Once inside the tower, move forward into the next open room and stand on the circular floor symbol. Strike the crest ahead with a blast of light energy, then listen to clues pertaining to the sacred flames and learn Nayru’s Wisdom on your harp to complete this part of the game.
