Phantom Hourglass - video guide

With the Phantom Sword in your possession, you're able to take down Bellum. Head into the Temple of the Ocean King one final time. The complete trip in three movies:

At the bottom of the temple you'll finally meet Bellum. Well, you'll meet his first of three forms. The battle's pretty easy, but should you need further assistance, simply watch this:

First form - Grapple the purple blobs off of him, then pull him close and swing away. Run up the stairs, arrow his eyes and repeat. Then use your new time-stopping ability to freeze him in place.

Second form - Aim for the boat's eyes and fire like crazy. Shoot incoming blasts out of the air.

Third form - Swing away until he's off balance. The best time to do so is right after he makes a big swing. You'll eventually cross swords - rub to push him back, then tag him once to stun. Collect your new Phantom energy, wait for his eye to open on the top screen and slash away.

Be sure to watch past the credits!
