The story boss order is fixed. Difficulty stars on other sites are an editor’s taste; this table uses dungeon order instead.

10 rows. An empty cell means the cited source did not record that value. The full table is in the page with scripts off.

Ghirahim is fought at Skyview Temple, again at Fire Sanctuary, and a third time in Hylia’s realm. Scaldera rolls in the Earth Temple. Moldarach is the mining-facility arachnid. Koloktos is the cistern automaton. Tentalus tears at the Sandship. The Imprisoned climbs the Sealed Grounds three times. Demise is the last duel and is not in the normal Lightning Round.

Weakness text in the table is one wiki’s wording. Where a second source does not repeat the tell, I still show the cell and the source count stays at one.
