Dharkon (ダーズ Dāzu?, Darz), the embodiment of chaos and darkness, is one of the two main antagonists of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s story mode, World of Light, where similar to Galeem, who sought to create a new world, he wants to corrupt the world. He leads an army of Crazy Hands which destroy the Master Hands, after Dharkon emerges. Dharkon appears after you defeat Galeem as the main boss of the World of Dark.

Physical Appearance

Dharkon looks very similar to Galeem, but his core is a green-blue eyeball which turns red when his health is low and he is surrounded by black-and-red vines which can transform to help him attack his opponents.

Role in World of Light

Dharkon makes his first appearance following the defeat of Galeem at the hands of the fighters. Sensing the defeat of his counterpart, Dharkon strikes, seizing control of Galeem’s remaining puppet fighters, as well as a massive army of Crazy Hands comparable to Galeem’s own Master Hands. Galeem makes a hasty getaway, knowing he is no match for Dharkon in his current state. Dharkon retreats into a haphazardly formed dimension known as the Dark Realm, to gather forces in preparation of Galeem’s return, rather than pursuing the wayward lord of light. The fighters chase Dharkon into the Dark Realm, choosing the greater of two evils over the weak Galeem. Dharkon and his newly commanded dark Spirits and captive fighters to halt the fighters, but ultimately fails, despite enlisting the help of the empowered Marx, Dracula, and Ganon, in addition to several Crazy Hand clones. With the defeat of his bosses, Dharkon is forced to make a reappearance, and faces the fighters. Although he is much more aggressive in battle than Galeem, he is soon defeated. Enraged, he retreats into the final realm--the Final Battle. Sensing an opportunity, Galeem returns from hiding to chase down the weakened Dharkon, with the fighters in hot pursuit. With their dwindling forces put to work, the fighters rapidly decimate the light and dark spirits, destroying two Master and Crazy Hand clones and freeing the original Master Hand and Crazy Hand. The Hands determine a common enemy, and form a rift in reality between Galeem and Dharkon. The way the story ends is determined based on the player’s choice from this point.

Confronting Galeem

If the player fights and defeats Galeem, Dharkon’s power greatly surpasses Galeem’s, resulting in darkness spreading across the realm of the final battle. Dharkon kills Galeem’s Master Hand clones, and impales Galeem repeatedly with chains, leaving the lord of light at Dharkon’s mercy. Meanwhile, Mario and the rest of the fighters are overtaken by darkness, and lifelessly dropping to the ground as the screen turns into static, then black. Then, Dharkon’s darkness spreads across the world making it uninhabitable. Later, Dharkon's eye is shown in the destroyed world, now remaining completely dark forever.

Confronting Dharkon

If the player fighters and defeats Dharkon, Galeem’s power greatly surpasses Dharkon’s, resulting in light spreading across the realm of the final battle, Galeem kills Dharkon’s Crazy Hand clones, and shoots Dharkon repeatedly, grating him before causing him to disintegrate. Galeem proceeds to turn his attention to the assembled fighters. Without giving them a chance to react, Galeem sends out a wave of light, preventing all the fighters from escaping and consuming the universe once more. 

Choosing the Middle Path

If the player follows Master Hand and Crazy Hand to the rift they formed, Master Hand enters the rift, fights and defeats fifty puppet fighters constructed entirely from Galeem and Dharkon‘s power, and allows the fighters to continue onward, drained from fighting off the onslaught of Galeem and Dharkon‘s forces. Three members of the fighters make it through, and manage to climb up into orbit, attempting to reach Final Destination where Galeem and Dharkon are battling. Upon meeting there, the two lords deploy their bosses, in an attempt to defeat each other and the three fighters in one fell swoop. To their surprise, the fighters defeat all six bosses with minimal injuries, and finally take the fight to them. Galeem, Dharkon, and the fighters begin brawling in a three-way matchup for the fate of the universe. Despite being gods and clearly having a power advantage over the fighters, Galeem and Dharkon are both defeated at the hands of the fighters, and fall from orbit, crashing into the ocean that once held the Isle of the Ancients, and restoring the balance of the world. Without Galeem and Dharkon, the Spirits are freed, returning to their home dimension. The fighters are left in the ruins of the World of Light, ready to rebuild.

Combat

Dharkon can only be damaged if he is struck in the eye, which turns red when he enters his second phase. He has the following attacks:

  1. Crushing Shade: If Galeem is stunned, Dharkon can transform his tentacles into a hammer and use it attack Galeem's core, damaging the Lord Of Light. The player will also be damaged by Dharkon if they stand in front of him, near the Lord Of Light's core.

Dharkon will always use this attack as soon as his second phase starts. If Galeem is present, they each will contribute one wave to the attack (Dharkon covers the bottom, while Galeem covers the top.). If Galeem is stunned, only the bottom is covered.
  4. Shadow Eruption: Dharkon creates several beams of darkness that erupt from the ground. These will appear close to the character's current location on top of Final Destination's main platform and erupt after a few seconds. Their appearance is telegraphed by Dharkon's eye flashing purple.
  5. Shadow Shape: Dharkon produces dark puppet fighters to support him. These characters self destruct after a period of time and their explosion can damage the player.

Dharkon's false characters will attack Galeem's false characters, and vice versa. When fought alone, Dharkon will continue to attack while the clones are on screen. In the fight against, Galeem and Dharkon, however, both bosses will disappear until most of the clones have exploded.
  6. Tangled Rush: Dharkon can send his tentacles through portals; the tentacles damage anyone in their way. Dharkon's eye will hover in the middle of the level. Dharkon will use this attack more times during his second phase.
