TotK Final Boss: How to Beat Demon King Ganondorf
How to beat Phantom Ganon, all three phases of Demon King Ganondorf and the Demon Dragon in Tears of the Kingdom, with HP, attack patterns and screenshots.
The last fight in Tears of the Kingdom is at Gloom’s Origin, at the bottom of the passage beneath Hyrule Castle. It runs straight through Demon King Ganondorf’s three phases into the Demon Dragon. This page covers each phase with its HP and screenshots, and Phantom Ganon, the enemy you meet on the way.
What are the phases of the final battle?
| Phase | Enemy | HP | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Demon King Ganondorf | 2,500 | Sword, club, spear and bow; Gloom disables hearts |
| 2 | Demon King Ganondorf, second form | 2,500 (first half of 5,000) | Phantom Ganons join; your sages fight them |
| 3 | Same form, one-on-one | 2,500 (second half) | Sages knocked out; he dodges Flurry Rush; Gloom removes hearts |
| 4 | Demon Dragon | 6,000 (five weak points × 1,200) | In the sky; the Master Sword does ten times damage to the weak points |
Ganondorf takes 80% less damage from Beam Emitters in every phase.
How do you beat Phantom Ganon?
Every place you meet it, with its HP and drops: Phantom Ganon.
Outside the story, Phantom Ganons appear after you defeat Gloom Spawn (the “Gloom Hands”).
How do you beat Demon King Ganondorf?
Bring Sunny dishes, cooked with Sundelions, to clear Gloom’s effect on your hearts.
| Weapon | Attacks to watch |
|---|---|
| Gloom Sword | Side slash (jump back), overhead slash (jump sideways), Gloom spin (leap back), three Gloom projectiles |
| Gloom Club | Leaping smash, side swipe (jump back), charged Gloom smash — ride the updraft it creates |
| Gloom Spear | Lunge (jump sideways), Gloom slide (get out of its line) |
| Demon King’s Bow | Phase 3: a ring of Gloom, then Gloom shots |
How do you beat the Demon Dragon?
Standing on its body too long causes Gloom damage, so don’t linger between weak points.
