    Probably my favorite boss related achievement so far. I also got stupidly lucky in the first phase. Phantom Ganon just kept spawning out of a painting next to the painting I had shot him at. After that, it was just learning the timing with the bottle, which I had never done before. Great fight and great achievement!

    Para hacerlo nunca saquen la espada y utilizen las botellas para regresar los ataques en la segunda face necesitan como 14 o 13 flechas para dejarlo a 1 hp, pero si sacan la espada se les quita el logro

    Had three bottles coming into this fight and I'm glad I had two extra fairies and I struggled to get the timing down.

    As stated, in the first phase just stay in the corners of the arena and his electrical attack won't hit you even if he does manage to exit the painting on his horse.

    The second phase, I'm not sure why, but I found really tricky to get the timing down. Once I found my rhythm he was fairly easy, but (embarrassingly) it took me two fairies to get that rhythym. The camera doesn't help, as the railing around the arena can block your view.

    Gente muito simples รฉ sรณ vocรชs nรฃo usarem e nem se quer colocar na mรฃo a espada em hipรณtese nenhuma!! Use o arco e o frasco de vidro quando for trocar de um pra outro use os botรตes deles, caso clique (B) e sacar a espada sem querer a conquist falha.

    I have problem with this one, the achivement do not even get "active" so i do everything for nothing, i understand everything in this achivement, i didnt trigger the sword or anything like that, but why it doesnt get active in first place
    Altomar 29 Dec 2024 19:17
    Only half of the set have support in the form of these small icons that show you when a challenge is active. When the set released that feature was not available. When i have time i will add this feature for the rest. The achievements work fine , only the icon is missing.
    supernintendosam 29 Dec 2024 19:33
    You know what, i just redo the whole thing from entrance to boss room without trigger sword and now, the achivement poped, but i did the same thing like 3 time before and nothing appened. And no, the achievement do not show "active " in the corner but still work, thanks for the fast reaponse

    This also happened to me. Redoing the path from the beginning of the temple to the boss room without pressing B worked. No icon popped up, though

    After some try and error trying to figure out what was the issue, here are my tips:

    -Enter the dungeon fresh
    -Walk into the boss and do not use any items that isn't the bottle or bow in your way to the boss
    (I used the hook to kill one of the skull spiders along the way and that cancels the cheevo)
    -Once in the boss, just do the challenge as normal, when you get the achievement, it is safe to use your sword for the last hit and kill the boss.

    One of the most fun achievements, not just of this set, but of any set i've played in my short time being on this site. It's fun, it's silly, and it has a slight challenge to it. Perfect achievement for what I'm hoping to get out of this site.

    Follow Gelgumi's advice here. Don't risk using the hook/longshot to kill the Skulltula in the first hallway, kill it with the bow.

    My tip for anyone having trouble with the timing of the bottle swings; Swing a LITTLE earlier than you think you need to. The bottle has a long startup time, but the "swing" stays active for longer than you think. After getting hit by the lighting ball 5 times without my bottle ever starting the swinging motion, that's when I did what I thought was an overcorrection, but turned out it was near perfect.

    Garbage achievement didn't work. used only bottle and pumped 15 arrows into him in 2nd phase.
    jamboree 20 Jan 2025 02:35
    Keep that sword sheathed! I did this entire achievement and whipped out my sword once, and it didn't pop.
    Kinglink 24 Jan 2025 21:43
    No Trigger/indicator on this one, be careful. You will get this BEFORE killing the boss as well.
    Sistik123 25 Jan 2025 02:38
    Even disabled my sword button to be 100% sure, still didn't work.
    TheCoolestScarecrow 26 Jan 2025 12:59
    I got the achievement after 2 or 3 attempts, but I didnโ€™t officially earn it. I was wandering around the temple with my grappling hook, and when I reached the boss, the achievement popped, even though I havenโ€™t defeated the boss yet. What should I do?
    Jaybeegee 10 Feb 2025 21:22
    I always heard about using the bottle as a kid but after failing at it i figured it was a rumour made to waste my time and make me look stupid...LOL. Awesome achievement, stacked it with dodgeball too.

    Pessoal, por alguma motivo nรฃo estou conseguindo pegar a conquista, ela nem se quiser notifica a existรชncia no Pc por sei lรก o motivo, se alguรฉm souber oq estรก acontecendo me ajuda aรญ por favor.
    Askahann 3 Mar 2025 14:37
    Galera, fortalecendo as dicas acima: Se estiver dentro do templo saia dele e entre de novo, vรก seguido para o chefe sem usar nada (na Skulltula que รฉ inevitรกvel, utilize o arco). Na sala do chefe a conquista pode nรฃo aparece, mesmo assim, faรงa o que deve ser feito. Se acabar com as 30 flechas e nao tiver acionado a conquista, reinicie o jogo e tente de novo.
