This is the 145th video in my Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword playthrough. In the Fire Sanctuary's boss room, who do we meet but Ghirahim? Sounds like he's learned about the second Gate of Time. The first time around, he conjures magical darts around his hands to limit the way you can strike him. They don't cause damage when they strike the Goddess Shield. Of course, if you let him grab the sword, he'll use them against us.

The battle really comes alive when he pulls out his swords. In addition to attacking, he'll sometimes surround you with darts. When they're up over your head, do a vertical spin to get rid of them. When they're in a circle around you, do a horizontal spin. I found that the best opening for attack comes when he puts his swords in guard position. Strike from an unguarded angle. Also, when he sends darts after you, do a Shield Bash, and some of the darts may go back to bite him. This battle is just a matter of good timing. Took me a little while to get it, but I didn't want to rerecord this battle. The battle continues into the next video.

Another thing, when he leaps up into the air and teleports, hold A and dash in any direction to avoid his jump attack.

Thanks for watching!
