How to Beat Bongo Bongo
Phantom Shadow Beast
Quick answer
Hit Bongo Bongo where it's weak: its eye, once both hands are stunned. You fight on a giant drum floating over poisonous sludge. Each time the hands pound the drum you bounce, so keep your footing and climb back on fast if you're knocked off.

The fight, step by step
You fight on a giant drum floating over poisonous sludge. Each time the hands pound the drum you bounce, so keep your footing and climb back on fast if you're knocked off.
Keep both hands in view. Lock on to one and hit it with the Fairy Bow (the Longshot also works) to stun it.
Quickly stun the other hand before the first one recovers.
With both hands down, use the Lens of Truth to see Bongo Bongo's body as it lunges forward and opens its eye.
Shoot the eye with an arrow. It crashes onto the drum, so slash it as many times as you can before it rises.
Repeat. Its swipes hit hard and are tricky to dodge, so bring a fairy or two in Bottles.
New in the remake: the Hall of Fallen Foes keeps a statue of every enemy you defeat, and lets you rematch some bosses.
