Defeat all enemies!

Defeat all Enemies! Scenarios are incredibly straightforward. If you’ve done Quiz and Defeat X Enemies Within X Time Scenarios, you’re pretty much prepared for what these will throw at you. Your job is to fight two or more Captains/Warriors/Bosses at the same time, defeat them, and then move on to another Keep to fight a new set of Captains/Warriors/Bosses. Avoid taking too much damage and defeat the enemies swiftly and you’ll walk out of these battles with an A-Rank.

Two ReDead Knight and a Fiery Aeralfos

ReDead Knights are the same as Gibdo in that they will constantly and relentlessly freeze you if you stand to close to them. You can tackle this group however you like, just be careful not to get stuck between two ReDead Knights, or you’ll risk being continuously frozen by the pair.

Volga and a ReDead Knight

Deal with Volga the way you always have: by hitting him until he does his lance attack. He’ll get knocked out pretty quickly if you keep on him. Just don’t let him hit you, as he’s been powered up for this fight and can do incredible damage in a short amount of time.

King Dodongo, Fiery Aeralfos, and a ReDead Knight

Deal with the Captains before challenging the boss or you’ll have a more frustrating time defeating King Dodongo.

G-2

Defeat 700 enemies within 10 minutes!

This is one of the more straightforward Scenario types in Adventure Mode. Defeat the listed number of enemies in the given amount of time to win. Don’t linger on individual enemies and do your best to ignore enemy Warriors, Captains, and Bosses; they are only there to distract you from your goal. Enemy Warriors and Captains will boost the morale of the enemy troops currently in the battlefield, but unless you’re struggling to survive, you can feel free to carry on defeating enemies as usual.

G-3

Defeat enemies while collecting treasure! Yay!

Adventure Battle Scenarios are almost identical to the Scenarios in Legend Mode. You have the full battlefield at your disposal, an enemy Captain/Warrior to defeat to win the Scenario, and teammates to assist you. The key difference is that you typically have only a single mission that appears at the start of the battle, which makes up the bulk of the entire fight. Once that mission is completed, you need only to defeat the enemy Commander to win the Scenario.

Hyrule Field

Defeat an enemy Captain

Two targets will appear on the minimap: one for the red team and one for the yellow. Both represent enemy Captains for the opposing factions. Defeat one to complete the mission; whichever one you defeat will force a large group of the other faction’s army to flee the battlefield.

Defeat the Item Transporter and take the treasure

An Item Transporter enemy Captain will appear on the battlefield. These enemies drop Weapons and Materials when defeated. Use the Battlefield Info screen to locate them on the battlefield.

Defeat both enemy Commanders

The gates to both the Rogue Base and Enemy Base Keeps open up. One of the Commanders will begin a direct assault on the Allied Base. Focus on defeating that one first and foremost, leaving the second for after you’ve found all the unlockables on the map that you want to find.

Find the hidden chest

After you defeat one of the enemy Commanders and capture the Abandoned Fort and Fairy Fountain Keeps, chests will appear in Keeps across the map. Whenever you open one of them, the Keep you’re in closes, locking you inside with enemy troops that you have to defeat to escape. The chest will drop a Weapon or Material, so if you’re feeling up to fighting, it’s worth it to make a stop at these Keeps.

G-4

Defeat 700 enemies within 10 minutes!

This is one of the more straightforward Scenario types in Adventure Mode. Defeat the listed number of enemies in the given amount of time to win. Don’t linger on individual enemies and do your best to ignore enemy Warriors, Captains, and Bosses; they are only there to distract you from your goal. Enemy Warriors and Captains will boost the morale of the enemy troops currently in the battlefield, but unless you’re struggling to survive, you can feel free to carry on defeating enemies as usual.

G-5

Defeat all Giant Bosses within 10 minutes!

Defeat all Giant Bosses! Scenarios require you to do just that: defeat all giant bosses on the map within the time limit. These Scenarios almost always consistent of two or three of the same boss attacking different corners of a confined map at once. Pick your strongest Warrior and challenge the Giant Bosses one at a time and you’ll be fine. Just try to divide up your time evenly for each of the bosses. If you notice that fighting any monster is taking more than half of your time for any monster, quit the Scenario, level up your character, and try again. If that still doesn’t cut it, unlock some of the stronger Weapons in Adventure Mode and come back at a later time.

Two Gohmas

Gohmas are probably the easiest of the Giant Boss monsters in Hyrule Warriors. Wait until they fire their laser, dodge it, and then shoot them in the eye with the Bow to make their Weak Point Mark appear. Perform a Weak Point Smash. Rinse. Repeat.

One thing to note: Ghirahim will turn traitorous almost immediately after the Scenario begins. If your Warrior is strong enough, feel free to take him out, otherwise do your best to avoid him.

G-6

Defeat all Enemies!

Limited Warrior: Fi (Recommended Level: 25)

Defeat all Enemies! Scenarios are incredibly straightforward. If you’ve done Quiz and Defeat X Enemies Within X Time Scenarios, you’re pretty much prepared for what these will throw at you. Your job is to fight two or more Captains/Warriors/Bosses at the same time, defeat them, and then move on to another Keep to fight a new set of Captains/Warriors/Bosses. Avoid taking too much damage and defeat the enemies swiftly and you’ll walk out of these battles with an A-Rank.

Two Dinolfos and a Darknut

Start by destroying the two Beamos in the Keep before fighting the other enemies. After that, pick whichever Captain you want to defeat first. Remember: Hit Dinolfos until it knocks you back and breathes fire to get it to reveal its Weak Point Mark. For Darknuts, hit them once and roll behind them to dizzy them and get them to reveal their Weak Point Marks.

Two Dinolfos

Do pretty much the same as above to defeat this reptilian pair.

King Dodongo, Dinolfos, and an Aeralfos

Take out the Dinolfos and Aeralfos first, so you commit your focus to King Dodongo.

Keep your distance from King Dodongo and wait for him to open his mouth. The second you see his orange, gaping maw, slide in and toss a Bomb in there to get him to show his Weak Point Mark. Repeat this to take him out.

G-7

Defeat all Giant Bosses within 10 minutes!

Defeat all Giant Bosses! Scenarios require you to do just that: defeat all giant bosses on the map within the time limit. These Scenarios almost always consistent of two or three of the same boss attacking different corners of a confined map at once. Pick your strongest Warrior and challenge the Giant Bosses one at a time and you’ll be fine. Just try to divide up your time evenly for each of the bosses.

If that still doesn’t cut it, unlock some of the stronger Weapons in Adventure Mode and come back at a later time.

Two King Dodongos

If you’ve ever played a Legend of Zelda title before, you know exactly what to do with these fellows. Wait for their mouths to open, then start shoveling Bombs into them.

Lana and Link with his Master Sword are excellent for this mission. Lana’s combo and Link’s combo both can take out the Dodongo’s Weak Point Mark in one go.

G-8

Defeat the Darknut Forces!

Adventure Battle Scenarios are almost identical to the Scenarios in Legend Mode. You have the full battlefield at your disposal, an enemy Captain/Warrior to defeat to win the Scenario, and teammates to assist you. The key difference is that you typically have only a single mission that appears at the start of the battle, which makes up the bulk of the entire fight. Once that mission is completed, you need only to defeat the enemy Commander to win the Scenario.

Hyrule Field

Defeat all enemy Captains to lure the Commander

You need to defeat the three Captains that are marked on your minimap to progress the mission.

A Cucco will appear on the battlefield and begin following you around after you’ve defeated all of the Captains. Avoid attacking this one to the best of your abilities. It’s not friendly and it will call in a regiment of Cuccos to fight you. Having to challenge so much perilous poultry will make getting an A-Rank much harder.

Defeat the enemy Commander

You can find Darknut in the Enemy Base Keep.

G-9

A Warrior of Light!

Limited Warrior: Impa (Recommended Level: 15)

Adventure Battle Scenarios are almost identical to the Scenarios in Legend Mode. You have the full battlefield at your disposal, an enemy Captain/Warrior to defeat to win the Scenario, and teammates to assist you. The key difference is that you typically have only a single mission that appears at the start of the battle, which makes up the bulk of the entire fight. Once that mission is completed, you need only to defeat the enemy Commander to win the Scenario.

Hyrule Field

Stop the Bombchus from infiltrating allied Keeps

They come one after the other. You can follow their destination by looking at the arrows on the minimap. Defeat them before the timer at the top of the screen depletes to keep them from destroying an allied Keep.

Defeat the Messengers before they call in reinforcements

Messengers will appear on the field and attempt to make it to a Keep on the opposite side of the battlefield. Defeat them before they reach their destination to prevent them from calling in enemy reinforcements.

Defeat the enemy Commander

You can find Lizalfos in the Enemy Base Keep.

G-10

Defeat all Giant Bosses within 10 minutes!

Limited Warrior: Lana (Recommend Level: 20)

Defeat all Giant Bosses! Scenarios require you to do just that: defeat all giant bosses on the map within the time limit. These Scenarios almost always consistent of two or three of the same boss attacking different corners of a confined map at once. Pick your strongest Warrior and challenge the Giant Bosses one at a time and you’ll be fine. Just try to divide up your time evenly for each of the bosses. If you notice that fighting any monster is taking more than half of your time for any monster, quit the Scenario, level up your character, and try again. If that still doesn’t cut it, unlock some of the stronger Weapons in Adventure Mode and come back at a later time.

Two Gohmas

Gohmas are probably the easiest of the Giant Boss monsters in Hyrule Warriors. Wait until they fire their laser, dodge it, and then shoot them in the eye with the Bow to make their Weak Point Marks appear.

Lana’s combo does massive damage to Weak Point Marks—she is even able to do a Weak Point Smash the first time a Mark is shown. Use it relentlessly to make short work of all the enemies on this field.

You’ll also have to contend with enemy Lizalfos scattered around the field. Your best bet is to clear them out if they are too close to your battle with Gohma; they can be very bothersome while you’re trying to activate a Weak Point Smash.

G-11

Defeat the Commanders of two armies!

Limited Warrior: Impa (Recommended Level: 20)

Adventure Battle Scenarios are almost identical to the Scenarios in Legend Mode. You have the full battlefield at your disposal, an enemy Captain/Warrior to defeat to win the Scenario, and teammates to assist you. The key difference is that you typically have only a single mission that appears at the start of the battle, which makes up the bulk of the entire fight. Once that mission is completed, you need only to defeat the enemy Commander to win the Scenario.

Faron Woods

Defeat a valued enemy Captain

A Captain from both enemy armies will appear on the map. Find the nearest one and defeat it to gain access to that Captain’s Commander.

For this stage, the best Captain to attack first is the Rogue Forces one. It’ll enter the battlefield directly above your starting location, so work your way south at the start of the battle. After you’ve defeated it, head to the Rogue Base and take out Darknut to defeat the Rogue Forces.

Now you’ll just have to defeat the Moblin marked on your minimap to open the gates to the Enemy Base.

A chest is hidden in a Keep somewhere

Impa’s Piece of Heart for this Scenario is hidden in one of the marked Keeps on your minimap. Unfortunately, its location is random, so you’ll have to capture each Keep until you find the Piece of Heart.

Defeat the enemy Commander

You can find Moblin in the Enemy Base Keep.

G-12

Defeat 800 enemies within 10 minutes!

This is one of the more straightforward Scenario types in Adventure Mode. Defeat the listed number of enemies in the given amount of time to win. Don’t linger on individual enemies and do your best to ignore enemy Warriors, Captains, and Bosses; they are only there to distract you from your goal. Enemy Warriors and Captains will boost the morale of the enemy troops currently in the battlefield, but unless you’re struggling to survive, you can feel free to carry on defeating enemies as usual.

G-13

Defeat all enemies!

Defeat all Enemies! Scenarios are incredibly straightforward. If you’ve done Quiz and Defeat X Enemies Within X Time Scenarios, you’re pretty much prepared for what these will throw at you. Your job is to fight two or more Captains/Warriors/Bosses at the same time, defeat them, and then move on to another Keep to fight a new set of Captains/Warriors/Bosses. Avoid taking too much damage and defeat the enemies swiftly and you’ll walk out of these battles with an A-Rank.

Mission Briefing

The biggest obstacles in this Scenario are the Deku Babas that appear in each of the three Keeps you’ll visit. The best way to deal with these enemies is to stand just outside the door of the Keep, equip your Bow, and fire at them. As soon as you enter the Keep, the doors will slam shut and enemies will appear, making it far more difficult to take out the Deku Babas. If you can target the Deku Babas before entering the Keep, however, it’ll make each fight much easier.

It’s recommended that you use Link and his Master Sword for this Scenario. His makes it very easy to destroy The Imprisoned’s toes without putting yourself in danger.

ReDead Knight and Two of The Imprisoned

Defeat the ReDead Knight first, then focus on the two smaller versions of The Imprisoned. The little guys can spit dark energy at you from across the room and they’re incredibly accurate. They can also create shock waves while standing still and wiggling their toes, so run a good distance away from them if you see them lower their heads for an extended amount of time. Use your Special Attack on the smaller versions of The Imprisoned every time you fill up a bar of your Special Attack Meter to make quick work of them.

Volga and ReDead Knight

Take out the ReDead Knight first again to keep it from freezing you while you’re fighting Volga. When you face off with Volga, continually attack him until he begins to block. When you see his guard come up, continue your assault. He’ll eventually do a lunge attack after using a Force Blast to push you away. Whenever he does a lunge attack, his Weak Point Mark appears. Hit him with a few Weak Point Smashes to defeat him.

Three of The Imprisoned

You’re tasked with fighting three of The Imprisoned—two miniature ones and a normal one—while inside a Keep. Focus on the two smaller versions of The Imprisoned first. The little guys can spit dark energy at you from across the room and they’re incredibly accurate. They can also create shock waves while standing still and wiggling their toes, so run a good distance away from them if you see them lower their heads for an extended amount of time. They’ll frequently interrupt your attempts at lowering the larger Giant Boss’s Weak Point Mark with their attacks.

All of that being said, there is one attack from the larger of The Imprisoned that you absolutely much watch for. If you see red electricity cover the ground, run as quickly as you can to the side of the room opposite the larger of The Imprisoned. After 10 or so seconds, The Imprisoned will do a devastating electric attack if you’re standing in its electric circle. It can be tough to find a safe spot to hide from this attack inside this Keep, but if you aim for any point that is farthest from The Imprisoned, you should be able to find a spot that the electricity doesn’t reach.

Use your Special Attack on the smaller versions of The Imprisoned every time you fill up a bar of your Special Attack Meter. Once you’ve defeated the two smaller Giant Bosses, attack the larger of The Imprisoned the same as you would in a normal fight with it: by attacking its toes. Whenever you fill up a bar of your Special Attack Meter, run directly behind its feet and use your Special Attack. We found that the Special Attack has a higher chance of destroying all of The Imprisoned’s toes at once if you’re standing directly behind its feet.

G-14

Dungeon 8: Defeat the forest dragon!

Limited Warrior: Link and his Gauntlets (Recommended Level: 40)

Dungeon Scenarios play the same as Adventure Battles, but with a twist: There’s a Giant Boss at the end of each one of them, and you must grab the Boss Key hidden in one of the enemy Keeps to open the Enemy Base’s gates. Other than that, you can expect the same kind of battle you’d get from an Adventure Battle.

Temple of the Sacred Sword

Defeat all enemy Captains to lure the Commander

You need to defeat the three Captains that are marked on your minimap to progress the mission.

Defeat the enemy Commander

You can find Zelda in the Enemy Base Keep. You’ll need to grab the Boss Key from the Central Keep before you gain entrance to the Enemy Base. Once you’ve got it, approach the gates of the Enemy Base Keep and they’ll open automatically.

Defeat Argorok to win

Stay to the side or behind Argorok to avoid most of its attacks. Use your Hookshot on it every time its tail glows blue to pull it out of the air and reveal its Weak Point Mark. Perform some Weak Point Smashes to bring Argorok down for good.

Defeat the Rally Captain

After Argorok appears, a Rally Captain will enter the field. Rally Captains boost the morale of enemy troops, so taking them out swiftly should be high on your priority list.

G-15

Fight through the travel memories quiz!

Quizzes are Scenarios where you have to answer three questions about a specific Zelda title or element in Hyrule Warriors. The questions will always be answered by defeating the enemy that matches the description. For example: a question could say, “Defeat the enemy that holds a shield.” Two enemies will appear: a Big Poe and a Shield Moblin. Just defeat the enemy holding the shield and you’ll have successfully answered the question. It’s that easy. Just be careful not to defeat the wrong enemy while fighting the right one and you’ll have no issues with these challenges.

Defeat the foe from Hyrule Field

The correct answer is Lizalfos.

Defeat the Deku Tree’s attacker

The correct answer is Wizzro.

Defeat the summoner of monsters

The correct answer is Cia.

G-16

Watch out for falling artillery fire!

Adventure Battle Scenarios are almost identical to the Scenarios in Legend Mode. You have the full battlefield at your disposal, an enemy Captain/Warrior to defeat to win the Scenario, and teammates to assist you. The key difference is that you typically have only a single mission that appears at the start of the battle, which makes up the bulk of the entire fight. Once that mission is completed, you need only to defeat the enemy Commander to win the Scenario.

Temple of Souls

Defend allied Keeps and defeat enemy forces

Your job is to stop the enemy forces from taking any of your Keeps. If they do, they’ll gain a morale boost, making the battle that much harder, and you’ll then be tasked with recapturing that Keep.

Ignore the Bombchu in the southeast corner of the map and attack the northeastern Bombchu while keeping an eye on the central northern one. The northeastern Bombchu is right by your starting location; that’s why attacking it first is the best choice. Be extremely quick about it, however. The central northern Bombchu will move first and reach its destination incredibly fast.

Destroy the central northern Bombchu, then the southeastern one. Now, focus on clearing your Keeps of the Captains that have undoubtedly invaded them. Don’t linger in one spot for too long and focus on Keeps that have a lot of enemy Captains in them, instead of trying to protect your Keeps with only one or two enemy Captains.

Once you’ve defeated the Bombchus, the mission will be finished. Just be sure to look out for a forth Bombchu that will start just below the Allied Base and move into the Allied Base itself.

Defeat the Manhandla Stalks

Immediately after starting this Scenario, Manhandla Stalks will appear and begin launching seeds all over the map. Don’t delay: Look for their location on the Battlefield Info screen and take them out immediately to stop the attack.

Defeat the enemy Commander

You can find Ruto in the Enemy Base Keep.
