The first fight is in the Second Gatehouse against Bokoblins and a Boss Bokoblin. Use your bow for headshots on the Boss Bokoblin to create openings for dealing with smaller enemies. Spears are effective for quick hits. Beware of Bokoblins carrying Yellow Chuchu Jelly, which can stun you; use your bow to create distance and avoid electrocution.

To reach the second battle, find the Library in B3 of the castle. Start at the Serutabomac Shrine, jump off the west platform, and follow the entrance down. You'll face a Black Hinox and three elemental Chuchus. Quickly shoot the Hinox's eye with your bow, then destroy the Chuchus. Their explosions will deal significant damage to the Hinox. Finish the Hinox by targeting its eye and using your best physical weapons.

The third encounter involves Gibdo. Head north from the Library up the stairs. Use fire or lightning attacks to defeat them quickly, such as fusing a Fire Fruit to an arrow or using a Flame Emitter weapon. Once elemental damage is applied, Gibdo become susceptible to regular attacks. A spinning attack with a two-handed weapon is effective in the narrow hallway.

For the fourth battle, head to B1 of the castle, Princess Zelda's Room. Access it by going to 1F, finding the large circular spot on the map, and dropping down. You'll face Fire Breath Lizalfos. Use ice-infused arrows to freeze them and Sidon's ability for water damage. This will deal significant damage, making the rest of the fight a mop-up. Watch out for their fire attacks.
