Phantom Ganon (Depths)

Maren's Tip

Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!

Description

A powerful Phantom Ganon manifestation encountered in the Depths near areas of concentrated gloom energy. Unlike the Hyrule Castle variant which ambushes Link in the Sanctum, the Depths Phantom Ganon is a deliberate guardian placed at a key approach to the Demon Dragon's domain. It wears a near-perfect replica of Ganondorf's robes rendered in gloom energy and fights with full mastery of gloom-infused swordcraft. Defeating it yields Gloom-Stained King's Scale — a unique material for the highest-tier Great Fairy armor upgrades.

Weakness

Perfect dodge flurry rush; Sage of Sorrow light attacks deal bonus damage

How to Beat Phantom Ganon (Depths)

A second Phantom Ganon encounter in the Depths, stronger than the Hyrule Castle version. Uses the same attack patterns — gloom hand summon, sword combo, and darkness cloak — but with 40% more HP and faster transitions between phases. Perfect dodge timing for flurry rush is the primary damage source. Sage power activations during the gloom hand phase clear them faster than standard attacks.
