How to Defeat Skulltula in Skyward Sword
Due to Skulltula being both airborne and on the ground, it is quite difficult to know how to go about getting to the weak spot of the creatures. Follow the below steps and you should be able to defeat Skulltula with ease.
Locate the Skulltula weak spot
The Skulltula weak spot is on the underbelly of the creatures.
Use Horizontal Slash or Upward Slash
If the Skulltula is hanging from the ceiling use the Horizontal Slash technique (push the right joystick left or right or move left or right for motion controls), or if it’s on the floor, use the Upward Slash technique (push the right analogue stick up or move the Joy-Cons in an upward motion) to expose the weak spot.
Use Thrust or Fatal Blow
Now the Skulltula weak spot is exposed, it’s time to finish it off. Use the Thrust technique (pressing the right joystick or thrusting forward for motion controls) if it’s hanging from the ceiling, or the Fatal Blow technique (push up, down, up on the right analogue stick or shake both Joy-Cons down) if it’s on the floor.
