Levias - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Guide - IGN (2024)

Welcome to IGN's Walkthrough for the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This page contains information on pacifying the great sky spirit, Levias, as well as how to rid it of the Bilocyte Parasite.

Video Guide: Learning the Spiral Charge

After resealing The Imprisoned for the second time, head back to Skyloft and seek out Headmaster Gaepora. He'll be in his office at the Knight Academy, just at the top of the stairs. He'll tell you to speak to Instructor Owlan, who's room is next to Gaepora's.

Owlan will tell you that Levias, a wise, old creature that protects Skyloft, has not been his benevolent self lately. Then, he will take you outside to learn a new move called the Spiral Charge.

Owlan then issues a challenge: Hit 10 targets in the time allotted and you will learn the Spiral Charge. To do this, focus on the targets on the small islands. You can look at a map of each target at any time.

Line up your Crimson Loftwing with a target and approach it steadily, using the Spiral Charge to dash through it at the last second.

Many targets are beneath the floating land masses. Hit the targets carried by birds only if the opportunity arises since pursuing them is a waste of time.

There are more targets than 10 to get. Makes sure to check out the video at the top of the page if you have trouble.

Upon learning your new move, Owlan will direct you to Pumpkin Landing.

Pumpkin Landing

Video Guide - Defeating the Parasite

The owner of the Lumpy Pumpkin, Pumm, will prepare an offering of Hot Pumpkin Soup for Levias, and Fi will call the robot to carry the heaping container of soup.

With the vat of Hot Pumpkin Soup in hand (sort of), leap into the air and head for the ostentatious Rainbow Island in the Thunderhead. Hint: It's the island with the rainbow over it.

After landing on the island, Levias will appear, and he is clearly not in the singing mood. Take to the air.

How to Get Rid of the Levias' Bilocyte Parasite

There are two phases to this battle. One involves flying around Levias and the other involves fighting a giant parasite.

Levias Phase

Fly around Levias and use your Spiral Charge attack to squash the eyes on the ends of the four tentacles. Watch out for other flying enemies, and be wary of flying into Levias' body (which will hurt).

It's best to approach the behemoth from the rear, dashing once you line up with each eyeball. After destroying all of them you can fly high above Levias and dive off your Loftwing to land on its back.

Bilocyte Phase

Once you succeed in landing, Bilocyte, a tentacle thing with wings, will appear out of Levias' blowhole and shoot orbs at you.

The goal here is to hit the orbs back at the enemy with your sword in a way that will first destroy both wings, and then the eye in the middle. To hit the left wing, perform a horizontal right-to-left swipe. For the right, do the opposite.

Once both wings are down, you can either shoot the eye with an arrow, or hit an orb straight back at the creature (a Shield Bash works fine for this). Once the eye is hit, he will be stunned, and you can move in with your sword with Spin Attacks and jabs.

After attacking the fallen Bilocyte twice, the creature will regenerate its wings and begin to dodge the orbs you smack back at it. It is crucial that you BACK UP for this portion of the battle, since the Bilocyte will dodge a bit ahead of time, allowing you to adjust your counter attack.

If you succeed in killing both wings using two consecutive orbs, you will need to hit the eye with several orbs. When you connect about a dozen orbs with the eyeball, the fight ends.

After the battle

Levias thanks you for cleansing him of the parasite and bringing him the soup. He tells you that in order to find the Triforce, you must learn the Song of the Hero. Unfortunately, the song has been split into four pieces, and each piece is held by a guardian Dragon in a different region.

IMPORTANT!
There is a knowngame-breaking bugthat occurs if you obtain the song pieces outside of a specific order - your best bet is to head to Faron Woods first. There is a free "...Save Data Update Channel"(Similar to a "patch") that you can download from theWii Shop Channel that will modify your save file and fix your broken game. More information about this bug/glitch, and the fix(es), on the Nintendo Support page for Skyward Sword.
