![Link Awakening: How to be the boss of the ancient ruins, Knight Armos](/images/posts/70a8ec056a09981c10bf2396e0caa9de-0.jpg)
Not all bosses are eliminated with a few simple hits with your Link's Awakening sword. Sometimes you have to use a particular trick or item to eliminate them. When you fight the boss of the Ancient Ruins, Armos Knight, you have to rely on a specific trick to overcome them. Here is how you do it.
Defeat Ancient Ruins Boss, Knight Armos, in Link's Awakening
Knight Armos is covered in fairly heavy armor. Your basic attacks and sword attacks aren't going to do much against her. Unfortunately, your other items are not when you fight them either. You can't use your bombs or any other trick to take it out. To beat him you have to use your sword, but in a unique way.
You have to hit him to the right or left, or even behind him, with an alternate attack. You don't want to use your basic sword attacks. Instead, you'll want to hit him with your bow, boomerang, or a charged sword attack against him. If you hit him in the front before you do it, you're not going to hurt him. If struck from the side, his armor is ejected. Then, as you go, you can hit him from the front using your bow or standard saber attacks.
That's all you need to know about how to beat Knight Armos. It's a pretty straightforward boss once you take off his armor. Armor is a problematic obstacle. However, it takes a little while to get rid of it.
During the fight, the Knight Armos will attack with you with a ground attack. To avoid any damage, you want to jump in the air. Doing this at the right time completely avoids this, making the fight as a whole easier. Getting hit by this attack knocks you out for a few seconds.
When all of his armor is down, you can hit him freely and he should be defeated after being hit once after his armor is exposed.
