Guides / The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Hyrule Castle (Post-Regional Phenomena)
After completing the four Regional Phenomena quests, you are summoned to the floating Hyrule Castle to investigate sightings of Princess Zelda. You must chase her illusions through several set locations across the castle grounds before cornering her in the Sanctum. The sequence culminates in a boss battle against multiple forms of Phantom Ganon.
Enemies
Zelda lures you into ambushes featuring Lizalfos, Moblin, and Bokoblin groups in various chambers.
Spawns in the Sanctum at the end of the chase sequence prior to the main boss fight.
Boss fought in the Sanctum who splits into multiple clones wielding swords, spears, and clubs; leaves spreading puddles of Gloom.
Tips
- Cook plenty of meals containing Sundelions or Sun Pumpkins before starting this sequence, as you will continuously suffer Gloom damage during the Sanctum battle.
- Ascend is the fastest way to navigate between the elevated courtyards, Sanctum, and outer balconies when pursuing Zelda's sightings.
- Watch your mini-map for the yellow quest markers, as each marker indicates the exact sub-chamber Zelda has relocated to next.
- When fighting the multiple Phantom Ganons in the Sanctum, stay mobile to avoid being surrounded and focus on taking down one clone at a time.
