How to Defeat Twilight Igniter: Infernos in Zelda Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess can be a tough game at some points and you'll find that the beginning of the games tend to be tougher then any previous installation in the series. For one reason the first few bosses are very strong, taking away a lot of health in a very short amount of time, and with your limited amount of hearts this can be a big problem. This guide will help you defeat the second boss monster in the game, Twilight Infernos.

Twilight Infernos is the boss of the Gorons temple and is actually the form the Goron's leader takes on due to the evil lurking within the temple. In this fight you'll be utilizing two major equipments, your Iron Boots and Hero's Bow. Because both items will be used a lot have then ready to be equipped at a moments notice. Set the Iron Boots to the control pad on the Wii remote and the Hero's Bow to the B button for quick use.

The battle will start off looking almost hopeless for Link but you'll soon realize that it's not all that bad, you just have to use your head. Replenish your hearts by smashing the pots around the battle arena, but save some for later. Also be sure you have some milk on hand to replenish your hearts when they get low.

The key to beating this boss is to keep your distance and use the hero bow on his eye. This is a bit tricky with the Wii's remote but not impossible, just don't panic. Many times Infernos will rush at you when you have some distance between you two but just stay calm and take aim. With a direct shot he'll take hold of his eye and storm around the arena, this is where the Iron Boots come into play.

After shooting this boss with the Bow and Arrow you have to get around behind him during his rampage and put on your iron boots so you'll stick to the magnetic floor. Then when you see the chain dragging behind Infernos grab hold of it and pull back. This will Drag Infernos down and you'll be able to attack with your sword. Take off your iron boots so you can move faster and then rush the boss's head and start swinging. You should only have to perform these maneuvers three or maybe four times depending on how many blows you land.

Overall Infernos is a simple boss creature to defeat, but his appearance and strength make him look tougher then he is. Also the panic a player may feel when aiming the bow adds a psychological aspect to this fight. Just keep your hearts up and stay calm and you'll grab the next Fragmented Shadow and be one step close to confronting Zant and saving Hyrule (again).
