you kill them by attacking their backs with the phantom sword
~icesteak's addition~ also, if u set ur spirit power to ciela, or spirit of courage, u can shoot shock waves. if u dont wanna get close to the phantoms, u can just aim a shock wave at their backs. works just as good!

The first time you fight bellum you are in the temple. He'll be in the middle of the screen then he will go around in a circle trying to hit you run away from him until you get a phantom sphere from ceilia then you tap on the hourglass symbol in the middle bottom of the screen then draw a hourglass in the middle of the screen without taking your stylus off. (you may have to try a few times before it works.) when time freezes run up to bellum and hit his eye continuously until time starts again. Repeat until he goes up a level. Run up the stairs and around the corner. Bellum will be sitting with is tentacles around the rum of the floor. Get your bow and arrows out and shoot the eyes tentacles when they are open (they blink), watch out for when the tentacles reach out and try and hit you as well as when bellum spits goo monsters at you (defeat these by hitting them with your sword.) Continue as you go higher and higher up. When you get to the top bellum will fall back to the bottom and he dies (but not really.....).
Then bellum possesses the ghost ship, kill him by shooting at the goo eyes on the ship with your cannon. Also shoot the goo balls that they through at you, they will explode when you hit them so they can't hit your ship.
The last time you have to defeat bellum is when he possesses Linebeck. Defeat him by hitting him with your sword until he falls back, then hit him in the stomach and ceilia will be free to give you a phantom sphere, then she will get captured again. Look at the top screen until the eye opens then tap the phantom sphere and draw the hourglass again like you did in the temple of the ocean king. Run around the back of him and shoot the eye on his back. Do this until he is defeated. Watch out for when he does a spin attack, run around in circles around the screen and don't let him trap you in the corners.

Equip your grappling hook. Bellum is in a purple ooze bath. Avoid his ooze, but they become and ooze eyeball if they spplatter to the ground!(1 hit to defeat). you have to use ur GH to tear off the ooze armor bellum has covered himself with. when u do, latch the GH on him again to make him dizzy and come close to u. hit his eye as much as u can. (after a series of sword strikes, bellum may move to a different part. go over there to hit him!) afterwards, bellum goes to the second chamber. equip ur bow and follow him up, avoiding ooze along the way. using ur bow, u must shoot all five of bellum's yellow eyes to turn them purple. bellum'll try to swap u with his tentacles. the ooze still comes, too. when u shoot his eyes, he falls down to the floor. Equip ur GH, go downstairs, and repeat wat u did, tearing off the armor. This time, bellum goes to the highest part of the chamber, the third. Equip ur bow, and go up! Shoot his eyes, but sometimes the eyes will close, preventing u from doing that. he still shoots his ooze out and slaps u. Shoot all five of his eyes to purlplen it!
(cutscene)
when u go downstairs, the staircase dissapears! let ciela do a phantom sphere, and when bellum's close to u, tap the little hourglass sign on the bottom, and a border appears. draw a phantom hourglass to freeze time and hit the eyeball!
(note: this time, bellum's only attack is contact)
(note: try to draw the hourglass to freeze time slowish or else the screen mite think its a spin atack)
keep on freezing time and hitting the eyeball until u defeat him!
Use the grapling hook to grab the purple slime on bellum. the once youy grab all of it notice there is one part sticking out bring it towards you and jab the eye with your sword. He will fly uptowards the roof. Go up the stairs and shoot his eyes on the tentacles with the bow and arrow turning them purple. When you have shot all the eyes he will fall to the ground. Repeat step one. Then repeat step two again he will then go even higher! Go up there shoot the tentacles and then he will fall to the ground. After this, bellum will start to fly around the base floor, eventually getting phantom spheres from celia, stop the time and hit bellum in the eye. When you defeat it, it will spit out a green ball it is ceilia´s memory. Run outside the temple and go to linebeck then you will see bellum´s ghostship. Sail out there and destroy the purple slime and then you will engage bellum one on one. Ceila will make you a time stopping magic ball to use it click on the hour glass on the bottom.Then trace an hourglass in one stroke. This should pause time go up to bellum and jab him in the eye. This takes a lot of practice so don't get frustrated. Do this repeatedly and you should defeat bellum and win the game.
First, run and avoid bellums attacks. Use the HookShot to get the ugly purple things off of bellum, then slash at bellum. Repeat until you have to go up the staris... Dodge the minions and get your bow out... shoot at the tentacles with open eyes sticking on the side of the wall... Repeat till all eyes are shot. Go up stairs and repeat... Go to the bottom of steps. bring up the screen after Celia gets you some magic. Draw a Phantom hourglass symbol... then slash at bellums eye... Do this unil he dies...
BOSS: Bellum (I)
So Bellum isn't exactly an evil magician or thief -- nor human -- but he's still powerful. As soon as the fight starts, pull out the grappling hook and start pulling at the purple growthsaround Bellum's body. Be careful for the ones that splash next to you and turn into slime creatures; use a spin slash to get rid of them quickly. With all the bits pulled off, latch onto Bellum himself to drag him towards you, then start stabbing him. Eventually your attacks will push him across the pool, so quickly run over to the other side and keep up the offensive.
After that, Bellum will burst out of the water and fly up to the next level. Take the stairs by the wall and run up there. Now you'll have to avoid the slime creature minions, while also avoiding Bellum's tentacles slapping you, with the aim of striking the tentacles with arrows. Shoot all the tentacles until the eye on each one turns purple. Once that happens, Bellum will drop back down into the pool, where you must yank off all the purple bits again and strike Bellum as you pull him in.
Bellum will fly up again, so run back up. The tentacles are smarter this time, periodically closing their eyes and making it harder for you to strike them, as you'll still be contending with the slime creatures and more slapdowns from Bellum. The best advice is to be patient.
After all the tentacles are struck this time, Bellum will fly up to the next highest level, so take the stairs again. The tentacles will close their eyes even faster this time, so you'll just have to be extra patient. Worrying about the slime creatures should always be priority number one, as they move swift and can hurt you more than a tentacle slap.
Finally, after the last tentacle is struck, Bellum will expel a ball of energy and plummet once more to the bottom. The energy gives Ciela a new power of stopping time. Run back down to the ground floor to find Bellum floating around the outside of the pool, intending to ram into you. As Ciela explains, once you see the hourglass icon appear at the bottom of the screen, touch it and draw a figure eight to stop time. Do it at the right time just as Bellum gets close to you so you have a clear shot at his big eye, then with time frozen, start striking. Get out of the way just before the timer ends so you're not hit, then wait for Ciela to charge up her power again.
After one or two more strike sessions, Bellum will spaz out and plummet into the pool. Is he dead? Who cares, the place is caving in! A warp sends you back to Linebeck's ship, where Tetra will be restored from her stony state. But then a tentacle from Bellum takes her again! This isn't over!
BOSS: Bellum (II)
This time Bellum will have taken control of the Ghost Ship. Linebeck's ship will chase after him, and it's up to you to attack. Whatever you do, do not let up on the fire. You should be attacking the purple spores on the side of the ship, but whenever you see a bright purple ball or two headed towards you, shift your fire on it, as it hits pretty hard.
That's just about the crux of this fight -- keep up a good shooting rhythm so you're not panicking when a purple shot is closing in. After being cleared of Bellum's spores, the Ghost Ship will sink. Linebeck will steer you up to the deck to finish Bellum off, with one last offer to save your game. Sure, why not?
A cut-scene will set up the final battle: Bellum takes control of Linebeck and puts him in a big nasty suit of armor.
BOSS: Bellum (III)
Linebeck was possessed! Run around the deck avoiding Bellum until Ciela's ready with her time-stopping power. Use it and watch what happens: nothing. Ciela then moves to Bellum's back, but is caught by a tentacle. But this way, she can give you a view of the back, which shows Bellum's giant eye opening and closing periodically.
Strike at Bellum until you end up pushing swords together. Win the struggle, then strike again to stagger him. Ciela will give you another ball of hourglass power. Watch the top screen and wait for Bellum's eye to open (also signified by a distinct sound effect, in case you're better off concentrating on the bottom). At that point, stop time and run around to the back and strike at the eyeuntil the timer runs out.
Now you'll have stagger Bellum again by getting him close to the edge of the deck. If you strike at him three times as he's blocking, he'll quickly sidestep and try to counterattack. The trick is that he usually steps to the left first, so what you should do is strike three times, then immediately run to the right a few steps to dodge him, then continue the pattern. Push him ever so slightly towards the edge until you end up in a sword struggle again, strike, stagger him and get another bit of Ciela's power. Then wait for the eye to open, and take your opportunity to defeat him or her or WHATEVER.
Towards the end, Bellum will get aggravated and try a whirlwind attack that has him spinning around the deck. If you stay at a distance you can avoid it incredibly easily, and more often than not Bellum will end up right near the edge again, giving you a great chance for another stagger. A few more sets of strikes to the eye, and Bellum will finally collapse and disappear into a cloud of dust.
So in the start, Ciela makes a phantom sphere. Quickly freeze time and go behind him. His eye is... closed! Ciela says she'll watch him from behind, but she gets caught in his tentacle! You must keep on tapping him with ur sword, striking Bellumbeck. He'll try to attack u. If ur quick enough u can tap him again to make him stop the attack, or go away to dodge it. Eventually u'll lok swords with him. Rub as fast as u can, and when ur swords break out, BB gets a bit dazed. Strike him on the belly to make him loosen his tentacle grip. Ciela gives u a phantom sphere! Tap the hourglass button on the bottom, and when his eye opens on the top screen, quickly draw the hourglass and rush to his back to attack. Keep it up until time resumes. U must keep on locking swords and striking his belly to make ciela give another sphere. U HAVE TO tap him strike him in the belly after sword loking! Keep on freezing time when his eye opens.(BB'll eventually do a great spin attack. He becomes a "wirlwind". Don't touch him!)After about 2-5 times on time freezing and eyeball hurting, he'll die!
