Cut Beast Puppet's Tail String
The weak point of Puppet Ganon's first phase, the beast form, is at its tail, which is tied up with a string along with the rest of its body parts. Use your Boomerang and aim at the strings to cut them down. Do note that you should not cut all the strings or Puppet Ganon will bring back all of them.
You can focus on cutting the string that is holding up its tail. Once cut, it will fall down to the ground and you can use your Light Arrows to damage it. You need to do this three times to move on to the next phase.
Use the Ground to Avoid Spider Puppet
Puppet Ganon will transform into a spider for his second phase. He will climb up the area and slam his body to the ground to damage Link.
You can use the reflections on the ground to telegraph where Puppet Ganon will land once he slams his body. You have a few seconds to run away from the area.
Like the last phase, use your Light Arrows to damage its blue weak point. Do this three times to reach the final phase.
Fire Arrows to Damage Worm Puppet
Puppet Ganon will then turn into a worm-like monster and slither around the area. He will relentlessly charge and slide around which will damage Link when you are hit.
You need to also hit its tail with Light Arrows to damage Puppet Ganon, but this time, it may be harder to do as it is moving around. You can try firing off at a distance so you won't get hit and reposition if he slides near you.
You need to hit its tail three times to defeat Puppet Ganon in full.
Puppet Ganon Location
Ganon's Tower
You will face Puppet Ganon at the last room in Ganon's Tower before you reach the final boss fight in the game.
Puppet Ganon will have three phases. The boss will transform into a beast, spider, and worm.
