One of the enemies that you will face in the Spirit Temple in the game Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is the Iron Knuckle. He wields an axe to do considerable damage and you have to observe his attacks in order to time your attacks. But with proper tactics, you can easily defeat him. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find the Iron Knuckle and how to beat it using different weapons and abilities.
Iron Knuckle Boss Location
You can encounter the Iron Knuckle in the Spirit Temple during your adventure. If you want to fight the Iron Knuckle again, you can challenge it at the Hall of Fallen Foes. This area becomes available after you unlock the ability to switch between Adult Link and Child Link. Once unlocked, you can access the Hall of Fallen Foes from rest spots found throughout Hyrule.
How to Defeat the Iron Knuckle
Alternatively, the player can utilize Bombchus to inflict damage on the Iron Knuckle at a safer distance. This way, the player can attack the enemy from afar without coming too close to its strong arm strokes. Bombs may be used instead of Bombchus; however, the player should be more cautious in their positioning due to the high chances of missing.
It is necessary to pay attention to the movements of the Iron Knuckle because the opponent attacks using powerful ax strokes. In case the Iron Knuckle strikes with its ax upwards, the player should dodge sideways. In case the opponent conducts a lateral strike, the player needs to step backwards. Afterward, the player should wait for an opportunity and deliver some sword blows.
The walls can be used to your benefit too, since the Iron Knuckle destroys them to expose hearts, which you can take advantage of to gain health when you do not have much of it. You can use this time to restore your health while staying away from its attacks. You need to dodge its swings and attack it whenever you get a chance. Once you inflict enough damage on it, it will fall to the ground.
On the other hand, if you want to fight the Iron Knuckle at close range, you need to make use of the spell Nayru’s Love to protect yourself from being damaged by it. During the time you are protected from it by the spell, you can continuously attack it without having to fear being hurt. It cannot block your attacks, and hence you can continuously slash at it until it falls to the ground.
