You want to walk towards the Darknut while charging a Bomb Arrow, and move to the left when he tries to attack you, then release your bomb arrow and shoot as fast as possible. This will destroy all of the Darknut's armor, moving on to the second phase.

#Phase 2
The following clip highlights how to end phase 2 and defeat Darknut quickly:
https://clips.twitch.tv/SucculentAdorablePartridgeRickroll
After getting past phase 1, you want to shoot Darknut very quickly to get him to burst into a cloud of bugs. You need to try and shoot all 3 of the white glowing bugs in one cycle to bring Darknut's health down very low. You will know that you did it right if Darknut is glowing black once he reforms. Shoot him quickly to then defeat him.

Triforces Requirements Guide

This guide will highlight the requirements needed to obtain the Triforce in every stage. If I have missed anything, or if you have any suggestions for me to change in this Guide, let me know on the Discord! The Triforce is usually awarded after all or most targets are shot in the stage. The Triforce always gives 500 points times a changing number.

#Level 1
##Ordon Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every target is shot. In each area of the stage, once every target is shot a Golden Target will appear which dissapears quickly. If any targets are missed, the Triforce will not be obtained. The Triforce multiplier is the base 500 times any multiplier that has already been built up and kept over the stage. If the player had a x15 multiplier and then hit the final target, the Triforce score will be 500 times 16.

##Gerudo Stalfos: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after many Stalfos and Stalchildren are defeated. Towards the end of the stage, after 2 Stalfos appear with a few Stalchildren on either side of you, 5 Stalfos will rise from the ground. Defeating all of these Stalfos will earn you the Triforce. An easy way to defeat a Stalfos is to shoot its heads, which instantly defeats it. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Arbiter's Grounds: Ranger
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after all of the Bulblins are defeated. An "Enemies Left" counter is displayed on the right of the screen and once this reaches 0 the Triforce is awarded. The Triforce multiplier for this stage is the base 500 times the amount of time left in the stage. Go quickly if you want to get a lot of points.

#Level 2
##Goron Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after 36 targets are shot. This one is pretty difficult because you have to go fast without missing enough targets. The easiest way to do this is to try and hit all the targets in the first area as quickly as possible because if you do it quick enough you can get a full 3 extra targets that can boost your chances of getting the Triforce. Make sure to not hit any of the X-marked targets because hitting one will instantly disqualify you for the Triforce. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Zora River: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every enemy is defeated. This one isn't too difficult as long as you are looking carefully to not miss one. Make sure you shoot all of the Tektites around halfway through the level because they count for the Triforce as well. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Skull Shooting
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after 40 skulls are destroyed. Just make sure you don't miss too many skulls and you'll get it. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

#Level 3
##Kakariko Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every target is shot. The next targets will only appear after the last ones have been shot, so you need to go fast to make sure you hit every target. If you hit an X-Marked Target, it will immediately disqualify you for the Triforce. The last target will always be a Gold Target. There is no multiplier for this stage.

##Fruit Balloons
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after most of the balloons are shot. There are so many balloons that I don't want to try and count but if you go fast enough you should have the Triforce with over 20 seconds left on the timer, so the Triforce isn't too difficult to get in this stage. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##The Great Bridge: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after too many Kargaroks to count are shot. There isn't too much of a strategy here, so I just shoot the Kargaroks like crazy and it works. I've been able to get it with around 13 seconds left. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

#Level 4
##Zora River Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every target is shot. In the first area, the targets slowly fall down the waterfall making them easy to hit. Be careful to not hit an X-Marked Target, because it will immediately disqualify you for the Triforce. In the final area, make sure you hit the small targets that fall down the waterfall on your right. These are easy to miss as they can't be seen very well. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Hyrule Castle: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after so many enemies are destroyed that I can't count them all, sorry. Watch your radar for the red dots and make sure you shoot all the Keese. Getting the Automatic Crossbow from the nearby green enemies helps with defeating the Keese Swarms. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Skulltula Forest: Ranger
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every Skulltula is defeated. Skulltulas take two hits to defeat, so make sure you don't forget to shoot it twice. As long as you watch your radar and don't take too long, you will get the Triforce easily. The Triforce multiplier for this stage is 500 times the amount of time left on the in-game timer.

#Level 5
##Oocca Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every Target is shot, without hitting any of the Oocca. This one can be a difficult one because the Oocca fly in weird patterns. Once the Timer runs out and you are taken to the next stage, all of the Oocca will drop their Targets, so you need to shoot them fast. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Gerudo Moldorm: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after 34 enemies are shot. Moving the Moldorms off-screen and bringing them back onto the screen will make them jump out of the sand, allowing you to hit them faster. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##The Shootout
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every Bulblin is defeated. Remember that some hide in-between the houses, watch your radar! The Triforce multiplier for this stage is 500 times the amount of time left on the in-game timer.

#Level 6
##Ordon Target Practice 2
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every Target is shot, without hitting any X-Marked Targets. This one shouldn't be too bad, just don't be reckless and accidentally hit an X-Marked Target. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Bridge of Eldin: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after way too many enemies to count are shot. If you're not going for points, just shoot everything you see wildly and you will get it. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Snowpeak Ruins: Ranger
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every Chilfos is defeated. A lot of the Chilfos or up high, so watch out above you. The Triforce multiplier for this stage is 500 times the amount of time left on the in-game timer.

#Level 7
##Underground Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after all of the Targets are shot, without hitting any X-Marked Targets. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##City in the Sky: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after many Aeralfos are defeated. Bomb arrows are the way to go here, they instantly kill the Aeralfos. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Temple of Time: Ranger
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after every Lizalfos is defeated. This one is mostly a linear path so it shouldn't be too difficult. The Triforce multiplier for this stage is 500 times the amount of time left on the in-game timer.

#Level 8
##Horseback Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after Target is destroyed. This one shouldn't give you any trouble. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Snowpeak Ruins: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after a lot of White Wolfos are destroyed. Same as a few others, if you're not going for points, just shoot at them wildly. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Darknut Battle
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after Darknut is defeated. See "Darknut Guide" to find the fastest strategy for beating Darknut. The Triforce multiplier for this stage is 500 times the amount of time left on the in-game timer.

#Finale
##Ranch Target Practice
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after a lot of Bokoblins are defeated. As long as you shoot all the Bokoblins in the first 2 areas, you should be good. This is another shoot-wildly-if-you're-not-going-for-points situation in the final area. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Sacred Grove: Defender
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after many enemies are defeated. Shooting Skull Kid to get the Automatic Crossbow shots is very useful, and you can defeat a whole line of Puppets in a row. There is no Triforce multiplier for this stage.

##Fossil Stallord Battle
The Triforce in this stage is awarded after Fossil Stallord is defeated. The Triforce multiplier for this stage is 500 times the amount of time left on the in-game timer.
