Once he swings his ax, move in tentatively and strike with your sword, but immediately back away. Strike it once in order to bring him to life, and then immediately back away because it will open with an attack with its ax. The next room will contain a motionless Iron Knuckle, which you will need to defeat. This room also contains three unlit torches use Fire Arrows to light them all to open the sealed door at the far end of the room. There will be a flock of Keese in the next room defeating them all will not only make your task easier, but it will also drop a chest containing 50 rupees. Jump down into the hole where the grave used to be, and then jump over the pits to reach the tunnel leading onward. Note that it is imperative that you do this on Night One because the Stalchildren circle different gravestones each night, and none of the others will get you where you want to go. Order the Stalchildren to open the grave so that they’ll tear the gravestone down and provide a hole into the underground. With the Captain’s Hat on, you should have the option to talk to these Stalchildren, and they will believe that you are Captain Keeta himself. During the evening hours, you will find Stalchildren circling about one of the graves. Equip the Captain’s Hat and head south into the graveyard proper. With that, you now need to use the Ocarina to play the Song of Double Time to fast forward to nighttime if it already isn’t so. Quickly defeat the Stalchildren to proceed The Song of Storms For you putting his soul to rest, he will give you the Captain’s Hat, which he will instruct you to use to tell those loyal to him that the war is over. He’ll tell you that he used to be the commander of an army until he was defeated so long ago. Continue striking at him until he’s defeated. Every now and again he will jump up moments before he lands, his shadow will appear, so get out of the way. Continue striking at your sword with his legs.

Once you reach Captain Keeta and strike him once, then the real fight will begin. Should you fail to strike him before he reaches the top, you will need to leave the area and come back to retry. Kill the Stalchildren, wait for the wall of fire to dissipate, target Keeta, fire an arrow while advancing, and repeat. This will create a wall of fire that will block you from going forward until you kill the two Stalchildren that rise up from the ground just before them. As you’re giving chase, you will see small colorful stone structures on either side of the path. You can slow him down by firing regular arrows at him, so target him as soon as you can and fire away.

The long-term goal is to strike him with your sword exactly once, but he will be too fast for you, especially with all of the traps along the way. This will cause a gigantic skeleton named Captain Keeta to rise up and start to run away.

Stand in front of the skeleton’s head and play the Sonata of Awakening. You’ll eventually find Dampé’s house as well as a large skull that’s blocking your way through an archway of stone. Head all the way as far north as you can in this area.
