Their fighting style is very similar to that of the [[Stalfos]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. Igos also has a [[Blue Fire]] breath as his main long range attack. To defeat all three of them, you must burn the drapes with the [[Fire Arrow]], letting the light in. You must defeat his lackeys with basic sword techniques, then you should reflect a shine of light on them when they are lying on the floor so you can finally destroy their bodies. Note that the [[Bremen Mask]] is capable of confusing the soldiers to humorous effect, as well as giving a more than generous opening to attack and kill one of the soldiers (providing you possess either the [[Swords of Majora's Mask#Gilded Sword|Gilded Sword]] or the [[Great Fairy's Sword]]).

For Igos you should fight him in a similar way attacking him several times right when he's about to attack you. Igos can take off his head and chase [[Link]] while the rest of his body keeps attacking with the sword. Watch out for the head when it comes off, as there is no known way to counter it (rolling around with the Goron Mask can almost always avoid it, providing spikes are up). If it gets to you it will latch on to your face taking hearts away in a very similar way to that of the [[ReDead]] and [[Gibdo]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''; just run away until it comes back to its body. Then when he falls down on the ground, shine the light on him using your [[Mirror Shield]] to defeat him. Afterwards, he will teach you the [[Elegy of Emptiness]] before disappearing. Both Igos and his lackeys back away and will not attack when you step into one of the rays of light. If you wear the captains hat while fighting Igos du Ikana (or run up to him with it while fighting the others), he will mistake you for Captain Keeta in a humorous cutscene but then quickly realize that it is a mask.

Also note that the Bremen Mask is not capable of confusing Igos like the soldiers. The dying of his empire, and its name, is similar to the Inca.

Stick with using the basic target methods while defending.
...He's a different rank than those other two lackeys, though...

Igos du Ikana will watch the battle against his Lackeys from his throne, deflecting any attacks thrown his direction. If Link ventures near him, he will be kicked back into the midst of battle.

When fighting the King himself, he can take off his head and chase Link while the rest of his body keeps attacking with the Sword. Link must watch out for the head when it comes off, as there is no way to counter it. If the flying head attaches to Link, it will latch on to his face, taking Hearts away. Igos du Ikana can also breathe purple flames as a mid-range attack. When he falls down on the ground, Link must shine the light on him using his Mirror Shield to defeat him.

Trivia
