12. Final Battle: The Dark Realm

::::::Finding the Demon Train::::::

• Head to the new section of the rail map, in the forest realm west of Aboda Village.
• Pick up the Tears of Light.
• While invincible, smash into the evil trains.
• Be careful - one mistake and you have to start all over again!
• You can see red teleporters on the map. You can use them to get to the trains on the top half.
• The most dangerous section is the top right, as you have 2 trains patroling it and only one Tear in the middle of them.
• Also note that the evil trains can reverse direction mid-track to follow you.
• Once all trains are dead the final fight will begin.

::::::Defeating the Demon Train::::::

• With all of his 3 carts attached, the trani will try to shoot bomb barrells at you from the third cart.
• Destroy them before they get out to damage the cart.
• Once Zelda gives the warning, switch into reverse for an emergency break to avoid getting rammed by him.
• If you end up being behind him, drive slower and if he breaks, you break as well to again, not ram into his back.
• Always try to be at his side and destroy the barrels.
• Once that cart is destroyed, he will enter a portal and phase 2 begins.
• Aside from him you will have dark energy balls on the tracks which you need to avoid. On a rail fork always go where the path is clear.
• He will try to attack you with laser cannon. Wait until the laser is loaded the shoot at it to destroy it.
• You will often have o rely on your gut instinct or just luck to determine whether he will switch rails and which way you should go. Just be careful.
• Once that cart is destroy the final phase begins.
• Drive up next to him. When he starts shooting beams from the crystals on his side, shoot all of them.
• Drive up in front of him and shoot him in the face.
• Repeat that process until he moves in behind you.
• Keep shooting at his face until he finally gives in. He sometimes seems to repel shots at this stage. Just pause for a few seconds the continue.

::::::Defeating Cole and Malladus::::::

• The point of this fight is to make your way to Malladus while dealing with what Cole throws at you.
• He will release rats that will run around Zelda. You must destroy them before they make a full circle.
• If you don't, Zelda will be electrocuted and Cole will control her like a puppet.
• Sever the strings with the boomerang to regain control if that happens.
• As you get closer to Malladus he will start shooting off a beam. You must remain behind Zelda constantly.
• The floor will shift, be careful.
• One Zelda reached Malladus both her and Cole will float up to the upper screen.
• You must aim a Light Arrow and shoot Malladus from the lower screen. Keep your hands steady.

::::::Defeating Malladus::::::

• This fight consists of 3 different parts: Protecting Zelda, weakening Malladus and finally defeating Malladus.
• Zelda will start channeling light. You have to protect her from the flaming stones Malladus throws at her.
• The first few are straight forward - just slash at them with your sword. (Note that you have to actually slash, you can't target them)
• Two of them will be shot on either the far left or far right and will bounce off towards Zelda. You need to run to hit them on time.
• The most difficult part of this phase, and the whole fight, is when Malladus shoots 4 rocks at once.
• You have to stand near Zelda and as the rocks approach do a series of whirlwind attacks to repel them all.
• Once the first wave of 4 rocks is done, Malladus will shoot a few more single rocks and then the final wave will consist of 2 waves of 4 rocks.
• If you managed to repel everything, Zelda will shoot the light on Malladus.
• If you fail at any point, the cycle is restarted.
• If Zelda gets hit, you lose hearts.
• You will now have to play a song with Zelda in order to weaken Malladus.
• It's not a hard song, just remember to listen to the beat in the background.
• The final phase requires you to take Malladus' attention and position him so that his back is turned towards Zelda.
• In order to get his attention, slash at his front legs.
• Once he turns to you keep rotating him.
• Watch the upper screen all the time. Once Zelda has a clear shot the target cursor will change into a yellow star-like icon.
• When that happens, press the new button at the bottom of your touch screen to have her shoot.
• After 3 successful shots, Malladus will be on the ground.
• Slash at him until you break his horn.
• Repeat the cycle and break his second horn as well.
• Once both horns are broken it will only take one more shot from Zelda to get him to the ground.
• A few more slashes and Link will ram his sword into his skull.
• Soon after you'll be clashing with Malladus. Rub the touch screen until Zelda is there and the battle is won.
