Lana’s path leads to the Twilight Field. First save the threatened villager in the southwest. It is Agitha who you then have to accompany on the search for the soul portal. Your headquarters are in the southeast; The dark areas on the map initially hide parts of the battlefield.
Accompany Agitha and the butterfly
Follow Agitha to the village square and defeat the captain there. Only the secured keep removes the shadow in this area and allows the butterfly to continue flying. Use your bow to clear the way Deku Babas and defeat the enemies with your own life bar that are stopping Agitha.
After the next part of the journey, Twili Midna intervenes and takes the butterfly. First fight the stronger units of your emerging army. Keep an eye on Agitha and the base, as Twili Midna’s troops can attack regardless of your own path. Captured keeps in the shadow areas improve visibility and reduce pressure.
Follow Twili Midna across the changing positions to the Eldin Bridge. Her normal attacks can be avoided by side dodging. Use the pauses after their actions and attack them specifically instead of constantly hitting their guard. The final battle takes place on the bridge. A red jar under the blastable rock near the entrance can help if you’ve lost a lot of health along the way.
With Lana you will receive a Piece of Heart in the Fortress of the Sorceress. This detour fits in before the final battle, once Agitha and the base are safe. You can find the Skulltula after 1,000 enemies have been defeated on the southern wall in the southwest of the map. You don’t have to have completely conquered every dark area to do this.
Palace of Twilight: Get the Hookshot
In the Palace of Twilight the first advance leads over the eastern keeps. Take over the lower east level for Lana’s weapon chest and then the upper east level. There you will receive the Hookshot. It is needed in this mission and will later open elevated collection points in battles that have already been completed.
When Argorok intervenes, you follow the preparations for the magic circles. Secure the western plaza and escort the needed ally there. Activate the circle once the preparations are complete. Then go back to Agitha when she is threatened by the special forces. Further magic circles in the middle square and at the fairy spring drive the dragon away until it can be reached for direct combat.
Pull down Argorok and reach Zant
Wait in front of Argorok until his tail becomes blue vulnerable. Just then, use the Grappling Hook to pull him down. As soon as he is on the ground, attack with melee combinations and empty his weak point meter. If it goes up in the air again, you create space and wait for the next hook window. Constantly attacking outside of this phase will not reliably get you anywhere.
After the dragon fight, the path to the enemy headquarters opens. Face Zant and avoid his attack sequences before countering. Save a full special attack bar for a sure hit if he can’t immediately protect himself after an action. With his victory, the storyline in the Shadow Realm ends.
It’s worth making a targeted detour for the figure rewards: Lana’s Piece of Heart appears in the West Palace Fortress. Midnas Heart Container lies under the rock east of the enemy headquarters, on the south wall of the corridor in front of the east gate. You can find the Skulltula for defeating 1,000 enemies under a rock west of the northernmost keep. Use the bombs and control the map before triggering the final battle.
