Phases & Strategy:

  1. First Form (Temple of the Ocean King): Bellum is a giant, squid-like creature. He attacks with tentacles and projectiles.
    • Strategy: Shoot his open eyes with your Bow to stun him. While stunned, use your Grappling Hook on his tentacles to pull them back, exposing the glowing orb on his head. Attack the orb with your Phantom Sword. Repeat until he retreats.
  2. Second Form (Ghost Ship): Bellum possesses the Ghost Ship, turning it into a monstrous entity for a ship-to-ship battle.
    • Strategy: Use the S.S. Linebeck's cannon to destroy the eyes that appear on the Ghost Ship's hull. Dodge his tentacle attacks and ramming attempts. Destroy all eyes to force him out.
  3. Final Form (Possessed Linebeck): Bellum possesses Linebeck for the final confrontation. You control Ciela.
    • Strategy: Bellum-Linebeck attacks with powerful sword swings. When he charges, use Ciela's time-slowing ability (tap her icon) to create an opening. While time is slowed, Link can get behind Bellum-Linebeck and attack the glowing orb on his back with the Phantom Sword. Repeat this process, dodging his attacks and timing Ciela's ability carefully, until Bellum is defeated.

This multi-stage boss battle is the ultimate test of your skills. Master each item and utilize Ciela's unique power to emerge victorious. After Bellum's final defeat, enjoy the ending cinematic and the restoration of peace to the Great Sea.
