    If Agahnim teleports to the top of the screen and he doesn't turn towards you, that's when you know that the lightning attack is coming. Retreat into a northern corner then.

    I just got it, but on the real.. that one was just mean lol. Having to start all over thru the multiple goons in multiple rooms ughh.. btw that comment above mine gave me a good gameplan tho, thanx.. jumping ability would've been perfect tho.

    Heh, your welcome. BTW, here's a fun fact: You can use the butterfly net to reflect Agahnim's attacks, too.

    Yeh I saw that once.. that would be a funny way to humiliate Agahnim, lost to a boy with a butterfly net lol. But yeah the whole hiding during thunder helped. I literally JUST beat him in my last game as a shadow in Links Awakening DX but there we

    ..could at least jump with Rocs Feather. In all LOZ beside the Sword jumping is my #1 go to and I can't do it here which is really disappointing.

    If you have trouble with the shattering multi orb attack. An easy way is just stand exactly to the left or right and use a charged spin sword attack. as long as you don't delay and hit it right when it comes into range it should never be able to hit you.

    1st tried it! My heart was beating so fast towards the end because I really DID NOT want to climb Hyrule Castle again.

    There are some really good tips from TheNegativeIon and Rampagingtaru. I recommend charging your sword and staying close to Agahnim. That way his deflected attack has a higher chance of hitting him.

    You can do this easily with red shield and net. When he fires the blue magic thing, instead of doding, just do a spin with the net and automaticaly the shield will block the blue shots.
    You can get an early red shield just after the Zora Flippers, on a hidden waterfall. Just throw your regular shield on the pond.
