Igos du Ikana
Template:Boss Igos du Ikana is the long dead king of the Ikana Kingdom in Majora's Mask. His two lackeys[1] were the best swordsmen of Ikana when alive.[2] Once Link breaks the spell that had been cast upon them, Igos du Ikana will teach him the Elegy of Emptiness, which is necessary to return true light to the land of Ikana.[3]
Biography
Igos du Ikana
The King will watch the first part of the battle from his throne, deflecting any attacks thrown his direction. If Link ventures near Igos, he will be kicked back into the midst of battle. After his defeat at the hands of Link, he will explain the source of Ikana's curse.[4] His disembodied head will ask Link to rid Ikana of the curse and will teach him the Elegy of Emptiness to aid him to that end.[5] He last appears during the ending credits.
King's Lackeys
The two lackeys make their first appearance beside the King's throne. The First Lackey appears to Igos' left; he has a rounder, sturdier bone structure and a deep, growling voice. The Second Lackey has a narrower, leaner bone structure and a whiny, higher pitched voice. They wield Swords and are adorned with military headdress. The Lackeys are seen arguing again during the ending credits.
Strategy
King's Lackeys
The King's Lackeys fighting style is very similar to that of the Stalfos in Ocarina of Time. To defeat them, Link must burn the drapes that block the windows with Fire Arrows, letting the light in. He must cripple them with basic Sword techniques and then reflect a beam of light on them with the Mirror Shield when they are lying on the floor in order to completely destroy their bodies. The Bremen Mask is capable causing them to march, letting them open to an attack.
Igos du Ikana
Igos can take off his head and chase Link while the rest of his body keeps attacking with the Sword. Link must watch out for the head when it comes off, as there is no way to counter it. If the flying head attaches to Link, it will latch on to his face, taking Hearts away; thus, the best strategy is to try to avoid the head until it comes back to its body, which can easily be done by rolling in a large circle as Goron Link. Igos also can breathe deep purple flames as a mid-range attack. When he falls down on the ground, Link must shine the light on him using his Mirror Shield to defeat him.
Both Igos and his lackeys back away and will not attack when Link steps into one of the rays of light. If the young hero wears the Captain's Hat while fighting Igos du Ikana, or runs up to him with it while fighting the others, he will mistake Link for Captain Keeta in a cutscene, but then quickly realize that it is a mask.[6]
Trivia
- The symbol that appears on Igos' brooch is a recurring symbol throughout Ikana Castle, as well as the Stone Tower Temple. It can also be spotted on the wall behind the Happy Mask Salesman inside the Clock Tower.
