Bellum: Phase I

• Pull the purple goo off of him using the Grapple Hook and pull him close to you

• After the first pillar section, Bellum’s eyes will open and close randomly but can be sniped as they settle against the pillar

• Optimal damage strats: Double Spin x3, Jump Attack a lot, repeat

Ghost Ship (BellumBoat)

• Attack the eyes on the left or right sides of the Ghost Ship until they stop respawning (hit the eyes on the back only if you cannot reach the ones on the sides to reduce the amount of shots the Ghost Ship can fire at you)
• When the side eyes stop respawning, kill the eyes on the back
• If there is nothing you can hit, hop to try to speed up Linebeck

Bellumbeck

• Use a Phantom Sphere to attack the eye at Bellumbeck’s back to show Ciela that this does not work
• Stockpile three (or four for safety) Phantom Spheres then wait for Bellum’s eye to open
• Draw an hourglass to trigger a Phantom Hourglass when his eye opens
• Optimal damage strats are either:
  • Double Spin x3, jump slash a bunch, spin again when the timer is about to run out (about 20 shmeconds left on the clock)
  • Angle Link so that each Spin Attack clangs off of the side of Bellum (this resets your dizzy) then continue spinning until the time unfreezes
• When going to do the third time stop, walk up to Bellumbeck (reduces the chance of him spinning, which loses time)
