Overview
Koloktos guards the Ancient Cistern in Skyward Sword HD. Link’s Hideaway describes Ghirahim summoning this automaton. Its battle escalates from arm strikes to a walking, six-sword assault. Removing limbs with the Whip exposes a red chest weakness.
Koloktos reassembles itself between attacks. Link turns a dropped giant sword against it, severing limbs before striking its centre. The final phase adds faster attacks and Cursed Bokoblins. Defeat opens the route to the sacred flame.
