Ghirahim (Skyview Temple) Boss Strategy
For the first phase of the fight, Ghirahim will try to catch your sword swing with his fingers. To land hits on him, hold your sword to the right to make him block in that direction. Then, quickly perform a horizontal slash from left to right.
After dealing enough damage to Ghirahim, a cutscene will play. Afterwards, the second phase of the fight will begin. Ghirahim will now use his sword and begin to shoot red dagger projectiles towards you. You can simply slash at the daggers as they come to you at a straight line to repel them.
When Ghirahim crouches for a brief moment, he will perform a powerful charge attack. This is a good opportunity to time a shield bash that will stun him. Afterwards, unload on him with follow-up attacks to deplete his health further.
Ghirahim will eventually teleport around the area where he will usually appear behind you to attack. Wait for him to warp behind you and strike him at his vulnerable angle.
Be sure to use recovery hearts found inside the pots on the side of the room if your health gets too low and Ghirahim should go down eventually.
