After defeating Dark Link and passing through the Stilted Suthorn forest, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of WisdomEventually you will face off against Seismic Talus. Like any other classic boss fight, it has multiple stages, a variety of surprise attacks, and a very powerful attack.
This rock-dwelling beast is the game's first major challenge, and a good test of everything you've learned about echo summoning and navigating the environment so far. You'll have to attack from a variety of positions, throwing echoes around, and using swordsman styles to take this guy down.
Earthquake Combat Overview
The Seismic Talus are a perfect unit, occupying almost half of the battlespace Zelda has to move around, meaning that It's important to stick to the edges and avoid his normal spinning attacks.Talus also has a punch that sends his punches flying out towards you, which is much easier to avoid. He usually slams his hands down flat on each hit.
Even though there are only a few pots around the battlefield this time, don't be afraid to destroy them to quickly restore your health.
Like Dark Link before him Rotating around Talus using the 'R' button is a good strategy to avoid a quick death.While the summoned echoes will draw attention away from you again if timed well, Talus can destroy most echoes within seconds, so make sure to keep summoning.
How to Beat an Earthquake
This fight wastes no time getting involved in the events that unfold, so get ready and start by moving around the battlefield and avoiding Talus’s punches to ensure Zelda doesn’t draw too much attention. Summons Darknut to the opposite side of the arena to attack Talus's glowing purple weakness. At the end of his combo chain
After a few hits, Talus will disappear back into a purple sphere, becoming vulnerable for a few precious seconds. Now transform into a Zelda swordsman and start slashing.If enough damage is done or time passes, a Talus will appear in the next phase.
Phase 2 is almost identical to phase 1 in all respects.So what you need to do is avoid damaging attacks and make sure the echo you summon deals heavy damage. If all goes well, switch to Swordsman form, apply some more punishment, and you'll be home pretty much the same.
Reliable echoes for this fight are fast-moving, aggressive creatures, or creatures that use melee or ranged weapons. Any creature that can reach and deal damage to a weak point.
You'll know the final stretch is upon you when Talus began to glow red, his orb resting on his cobbled head.His spinning attack this time is especially powerful, so dodge it by clinging to a wall and waiting for him to slam his hand into the ground.
This time, activating the Swordfighter form is much easier. If you have some energy to spare, you can release the purple orb and land a final blow to seal the deal. Congratulations, Talus is no more.
