Koloktos

Koloktos, Ancient Automaton (魔蝕神器ダ・イルオーマ), is the boss of the Ancient Cistern, the fourth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It is a huge golden statue with six arms, two of which hold large curved axes. Koloktos is initially inanimate, but when Link faces it he finds Ghirahim sitting on the statue's head; Ghirahim promptly uses his dark magic to bring it to life before vanishing. The statue will often smash its fists down on top of Link in an attempt to crush him, and the hero must use the Whip in order to defeat it.

Battle
In the first part of the battle, Koloktos remains in the center of the room. It attacks by swinging the curved axes in its upper arms, throwing them at Link, and smashing its fists on its mid and lower arms down on top of him. When it smashes its fists down, Link must use the Whip to unscrew its arms. Once Link has unscrewed four of its arms, he can attack the boss' vulnerable chest core.

After repeating the strategy a few times, the boss reattaches its arms back on before pulling itself up to reveal a pair of legs while encasing its heart with a protective casing and brandishing six Massive Swords. The boss now attacks by slamming its swords down on Link, chasing after him while wildly slashing its swords, and occasionally summoning Cursed Bokoblins to assist it. To defeat the statue, Link must unscrew one of the arms and pick up one of its fallen swords. He must then use said sword to destroy the remaining arms, as the Whip no longer works once used, or destroy the legs to cripple the boss even further. Once the legs are destroyed, Link can then destroy the protective casing and attack the heart; after breaking the casing, Link can switch to use his Goddess Sword to damage the core, which is more efficient than the cumbersome Massive Sword. If Link destroys the arms but not the legs, Koloktos will attempt to charge at him. If Link dodges the charge, Koloktos will slam into the wall, stunning itself.

When it is defeated, it freezes, then breaks apart, revealing a Heart Container.
