Your final challenge awaits! Learn how to defeat the possessed Malladus atop the Demon Train in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks with this walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start on top of the Demon Train, which has begun moving and left your train behind. Your objective is to reach Malladus, who is currently possessing Zelda's body, at the far end of the train.
  2. 2
    As you approach, Cole will interfere by summoning ghost rats to scare Zelda. If you don't get rid of them quickly enough, they'll shock her, and Cole will use ghost strings to control Zelda's Phantom body. If this happens, quickly use your Boomerang to cut those strings.
  3. 3
    Your main task is to trace a path for Zelda to get closer to Malladus, while simultaneously keeping Cole at bay. You can prevent him from summoning more ghost rats by attacking him directly. He'll briefly disappear, giving you a small window of opportunity.
  4. 4
    When you get close to Malladus, he'll attempt to fire a powerful laser at Link to push you back. Make sure to stay behind Zelda to avoid this attack.
  5. 5
    As you advance further, parts of the Demon Train will start to twist and sway, making your movement more difficult. Keep pushing forward.
  6. 6
    Once Zelda reaches Malladus, she will grab onto his body to try and pin him down. While this doesn't completely stop him, it serves as a crucial distraction. This is your chance! Shoot a Light Arrow directly at Malladus while he's distracted.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on Zelda; if Cole starts controlling her Phantom body with ghost strings, immediately use the Boomerang to sever them.
  • Attacking Cole directly is the best way to stop him from summoning more ghost rats and gives you a brief respite.
  • Use Zelda's position to your advantage to avoid Malladus' laser attacks.
  • The swaying train can be disorienting, so try to move deliberately and stay focused on your objective.
