In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Skorchill is the boss of the Lanayru Temple. This formidable adversary utilizes both ice and fire elements, requiring players to adapt their strategies accordingly.
Overview
Condé originally mistakes skorchill for his brother, believing he is ignoring him.
Battle Phases and Strategies:
Phase One:
• Ice Helmet: Skorchill begins with an icy helmet featuring three ice nodes.
• Attacks:
• Fist Slam: Raises its fists, then slams them down, causing area damage.
• Tantrum Stomp: Stomps the ground repeatedly, causing icicles to fall from above.
• Strategy: Use Fire Keese Echoes to target and break the ice nodes on Skorchill’s helmet. Once all nodes are destroyed, the helmet shatters, rendering Skorchill vulnerable. Switch to Swordfighter Form or use other Echoes to deal damage.
Phase Two:
• Fire Helmet: Skorchill dons a helmet with three fire nodes.
• Attacks:
• Fireball Barrage: Launches fireballs in a circular pattern, leaving flames on the ground.
• Whirlwind Fire Blast: Unleashes a large fiery whirlwind.
• Strategy: Deploy Ice Keese Echoes to extinguish the fire nodes on the helmet. After breaking all nodes, Skorchill becomes susceptible to attacks. Continue your offensive as in the previous phase.
Phase Three:
• Dual-Element Helmet: Skorchill’s helmet now features both fire and ice elements.
• Attacks: Combines previous fire and ice attacks, increasing the battle’s complexity.
• Strategy: Alternate between Fire and Ice Keese Echoes to counter the respective elemental nodes on the helmet. Maintain agility to dodge combined attacks, and exploit openings to inflict damage once the helmet is neutralized.
General Tips:
• Echo Preparation: Before the battle, ensure you have acquired both Fire and Ice Keese Echoes to effectively counter Skorchill’s elemental defenses.
• Observation: Pay close attention to Skorchill’s attack patterns and helmet changes to anticipate and react appropriately during each phase.
