[edit] Ambi's Palace

Veran's shadow

At this point, Veran is still in control of Nayru's body, and therefore, cannot be directly attacked. While avoiding her energy balls, Link must fire a Mystery Seed at her to make Veran's shadow hover above Nayru's head. Then, using the Switch Hook, Link can completely pull her out, making her vulnerable to sword attacks. After enough damage, Veran leaves Nayru's body and possesses Queen Ambi.

[edit] Black Tower

The final battle against Veran has five stages. Towards the end of the battle, she switches between her final three stages.

[edit] Stage One

Veran's first form

First, Link must fight Queen Ambi, who is under Veran's control. This stage is nearly identical to the battle with Nayru-possessed Veran, with the exception of additional enemies that Veran summons. After dealing enough damage, Veran leaves Ambi's body and Ambi leaves the tower.

[edit] Stage Two

Veran's fairy form

Next, Veran transforms into a fairy-like creature. She also summons what appear to be four Dark Links. Veran simply flies around the room while the four Dark Links attack Link. She is vulnerable to sword attacks and after a few hits, the arena changes and Veran transforms again.

[edit] Stage Three

The third stage of the battle is actually comprised of three different forms, any of which Veran can switch to at any time.

[edit] Turtle

Veran's turtle form

Veran's turtle form constantly jumps up and crashes down, attempting to crush Link. To damage her, Link must avoid her jumping and shoot Magical Seeds at her with the Seed Shooter.

[edit] Spider

Veran's spider form

Veran's spider form can spit out web, which will cause considerable damage to Link if he becomes entangled in it. To damage Spider Veran, Link must first throw a bomb in front of her. Once she is stunned, she becomes vulnerable to Sword attack.

[edit] Bee

Veran's bee form

Veran's Bee form occasionally summons a swarm of smaller bees as well as shoots stingers at Link, which slow his walking speed. Bee Veran is vulnerable to both the Seed Shooter and Sword. After Veran is defeated, the game is complete.
