LD-002S Scervo

LD-002S Scervo is an Ancient Robot that serves as the Mini Boss of the Sandship in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Scervo used to be the leader of the pirates that took over the Sandship from Skipper in the distant past. Unlike most of the other Ancient Robots, Scervo is still active when Link board the Sandship and must be defeated to obtain the Bow. Fi imply that Scervo rebelled against Skipper when he took over the Sandship, probably implying that he used to work for Skipper before becoming a pirate.

Battle
Scervo's main mean of attack is his sword that acts like a drill and can be charged with electricity to damage Link if he touch it in this state. The arena is a long plank that leads directly into the Lanayru Sand Sea on Scervo's side and on a wall of spikes on Link's side. Scervo will try to push Link back with his attacks to force Link to take damage from the spikes. Link must find an opening in Scervo's guard and hit him, which will cause him to be pushed back a little. The goal is to push Scervo off the plank to defeat him. This needs to be done three time in a row. After the first time, Scervo will reduce the distance between Link and the spikes and after a second time, Scervo will loose his sword and will start attacking with his hook by rotating the middle section of his body. After three time, Scervo will fall to his demise in the Sand Sea and Link will obtain the Bow, which allow him to continue further into the dungeon.

Fi's Comment
"This mutinous robot stole this ship from Skipper long ago. He still commands the ship today. When fighting in a narrow space like this, it is more effective to use thrust attacks with your sword than to try to swing your sword widely."
