Fantom Ganon Attack

Hey Hey this is zorasriver

I've got an question about the fantom of ganon!
I've battled the dude many times but there's one thing i've
only seen once...

In the battle his mace suddenly began to glow in all sorts of colours.
Then he jumped onto it like it was his horse.
And then he just slammed into me with high speed.

This is no joke and i didnt dream it or something cause i had it on tape!
(when he did this i was making a video walktrough! yeah zelda-freak)
But its real! did anyone else see him do this??
I want to see him do this again! o and it was in the part that he floats
in the air! (2nd part) after the horse-painting stuff

please help me!! thanks!

First thing, it is Phantom, not fantom.

And yes, i have also seen this occur. If you are on about the Forest Temple, which it sounds like you are, then this occurs when
You attack Phantom Ganon with arrows as he is about to come out of the paintings (you'll know if you get the right picture, because a teleport will appear on the painting,and he'll come out). He usually rides the mace after his horse has disappeared (roughly 5 hits into the battle, the horse will go). Once again, use arrows to defeat him

yeah oke cool
fantom phantom... so what.. im not good in english...

but hey.. is this usual?? does he do this all the time?
or do you have to hit him an x times before he does this??
(like the big black ball of ganondorf)

Ummm to be honest my friend, that could have just been a standard glitch in the game. I've never seen that happen before, but, who knows, it could happen again (or maybe not. Like you said, you've battled him many times, and this was your first time experiencing this).

Usually, he does this if enough hits are thrown at him, and you don't hit him fast enough to avoid this attack. After his horse fades away, he throws those light balls at you, where you have to hit them back at him etc, if enough of them are hit at him (forget the amount), then he will ride the mace and charge at you.

Thanks again maxi

Hmm I stand corrected. I always kill him fast. I guess I never noticed that until now. If it's real then you must have experienced the same thing I did. You said you've fought agains Phantom Ganon many times and this was your first time. I've done the same, and this hasn't happened to me (as of yet). I may give the game a go durring my winter break (nothing else to do)

I believe I saw it too...

It's like at the end Ganondorf where he gets very weak and then uses that scary black magic to send out 4 powerballs at you. I think this is his way of showing he's weak.

But at the time I had child link in the beta quest and I got to him from Lon Lon Ranch's stable.

That happened to me too. I usually have him dead in the first 3 minutes, but this one time...

He broke my Biggoron Sword. Yes, the real one!

whoa are u serious ur real biggoron sword broke??? no way.....maybe it was a glitch?

Biggoron Swords don't break. Are you sure it wasn't the Giant's Knife?

Don't worry, it's happened to me too, only once. Very cool attack, but rare. It usually only happens if you fight him for a long while. Just put up your shield and he'll drill past ya, otherwise you lose 2 hearts

I made a thread a long while back about this, wanna know the title?

"What the halibut!?"

Very cool isnt it??
But is it really true that he can brake your real big goron sword?? :S
How can that be... And what do you have to do when it breaks??
going trough the trading sequence for a 2nd time?

And i wonder if other bosses do such attacks...
Like if you wait long enough they do a special attack or something.

I never saw anything bizzare, but I'm replaying the game so I'll pay attention and report my findings here if you want.

Hey the biggoron sword cant break...
not even by an attac of the gost of ganon..
it has to be the other sword...

another question...
I always thought biggorons sword and the giants knife are the same..
the blade just has two names...

is this wrong? is the blade wich you CAN break the giants knife
and biggorons sword the one you cant break?

i mean.. the breakable sword comes from a big goron too
So isnt it just the same blade with different names?

You really should have made another thread to get this question answered but anyways. From my understanding about this the giant Gorons are brothers, although the two blades are similar Biggoron's sword is unbreakable. With the Goron's knife if you hit boulders with it, it will surely break. But with the other sword you could bang as many boulders as you want til the cows come home and it won't break.

The sword that broke fighting Phantom Ganondorf would have been the Giants knife because in the fight against the real Ganon I used the Biggoron Sword and I was fine.

Yeah i know what youre telling me
but my question was..

Does the blade have two names???
or is one name of the breakable
and the other for the unbreakable sword??

Dude there is two goron swords in the game. The Goron's Knife is very fragile, so therefore is the breakable one...it is obtained in the gorons home.

Biggorons Sword however (I think) is forged in Death Mountains fires itself and therefore is much stronger. They are two totally different blades.

I hope that answered your question...if it didn't then explain what you mean casue I am not a mind reader and can only decipher what I have in front of me.

I really think it is impossible to break the Biggoron Sword, no matter what you put it through. I'll hopefully get to this part in a week and I'll report it from there.

Yeah i think sir aughton is right! or... eh auron sorry

biggoron sword is the blade you get on the end of the trading sequence.
and the giants knife or gorons knife (auron) is the breakable version!

thanks
