How to beat Skorchill in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

The fight with Skorchill will take place in three distinct phases, and they will be able to move fairly quickly once you know how to counter incoming attacks. Also, pay attention to what element is displayed by his headsetthis will help you choose the ideal Echoes to call upon as allies throughout the fight.

Phase one

One of the first attacks to watch out for is Skorchill’s punch attack, he will raise both of his fists then slam them into the ground with a lot of force. To avoid this, make sure you are as far away from him as possible when he starts raising his arms – flames will also appear on his fists, so watch out for that.

Another attack to watch out for is what we like to call the tantrum. Skorchill will rush towards you and then repeatedly stomp his foot on the ground, just like a child throwing a tantrum (see why we call it that now?). Not only do you not want to be near his feet when he does this, you also need to watch out for circular shadows appearing on the ground. These indicate where the icicles will fall from the ceiling – make sure you don’t stand in any of them to avoid getting hit. Yes, his anger is so bad that it caused pieces of the ceiling to fall.

While you avoid his attacks, you should focus on attacking Skorchill. You can enter Swordfighter form and use the bow for this, but we had a Fire Wizzrobe helping us out and we found it did the hardest work for us in this phase.

Once you hit Skorchill’s helmet enough, he will return to his normal color and be stunned for a while. At this point, use “Bind” to grab the helmet on his head (which really looks like a bowl) and pull it away until you get it off his head. When you take it off, the helmet will crash to the ground.

For a while, Skorchill will stomp around without his helmet and you just need to keep attacking him at this point. Once you’ve done enough damage, he’ll get a brand new helmet and you’ll begin phase two.

Phase two

This time we called on an Ice Wizzrobe to help us land a few attacks, and we highly recommend you do the same.

In addition to a new helmet, Skorchill will now have new attacks that you will need to watch out for. The first being a fireball attack where he will spit them out of his mouth at you and, even if you run, he will turn around to follow you into the room with them. The easiest thing to do is to keep moving while he performs this attack – don’t stop moving until he does.

His next new attack is a much larger charged fireball attack. Skorchill will stand still and gather his energy to create a large fireball then throw it at you, make sure you stand as far away from him as possible.

Again, when you’ve thrown enough attacks at him, Skorchill will return to his normal color and be vulnerable for a while. At this point, use “Bind” again to grab his helmet and remove it.

Like you did before, he’ll walk around without a helmet for a while and you can avoid his attacks while landing some of your own. When you have done enough damage, he will receive another helmet.

Phase three

Now that the room is frozen again, we have called back the Ice and Fire Wizzrobes to help us, and once again we recommend you do the same as they are good allies. We also have good news: Skorchill will recycle the attacks he used in previous phases. To us, he seemed to only use phase two attacks.

Then, when you’ve launched enough attacks and Skorchill has returned to his normal color, you can remove the helmet from his head again to break it. This phase went very quickly for us as we called on the Ice Wizzrobe to use against his fire attacks.

Land more hits on Skorchill in this phase, and when you’ve dealt enough damage, you’ll have them beaten.

For your efforts, you will receive a Heart containerwell done!
