How to Beat Master Kohga in Abandoned Gerudo Mine

Master Master Kohga in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Abandoned Gerudo Mine. Learn strategies for his flying vehicle, weak points, and rewards.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Master Kohga is fought in the Abandoned Gerudo Mine.
• He pilots a flying machine that is agile and has added barriers and a shield in later phases.
• Weak point: Kohga himself when he is knocked off his vehicle.
• Attacks include projectiles and timed bombs.

Phases:

1. Kohga attacks from his flying machine. Use the Zonai Spring to launch yourself, then use slow-motion bow attacks with homing arrows (Keese Eyeballs recommended) to hit him.
2. After taking enough damage, Kohga falls from his vehicle. Attack him with your strongest and fastest physical weapons.
3. Kohga returns to his vehicle, which now has enhanced attacks like timed bombs, side barriers, and a shield. Continue using the Spring and slow-motion arrow strategy. If barriers are problematic, paraglide onto them for a physical hit.
4. Repeat the process until Kohga is defeated.

Strategy:

• Preparation: Stock up on arrows, especially those with homing properties (like Keese Eyeballs). Bring your strongest and fastest physical weapons.
• Utilize the Zonai Spring: Activate the Spring on the battlefield to launch yourself into the air. This allows for slow-motion bow attacks, making it easier to hit Kohga.
• Homing Arrows: Keese Eyeballs attached to arrows are highly recommended for their homing effect, compensating for Kohga's agility.
• Physical Attacks: When Kohga is knocked to the ground, switch to your best melee weapons for significant damage.
• Adapt to New Defenses: In later phases, Kohga adds barriers and shields. If direct arrow shots are difficult, try paragliding onto the barriers for a direct physical attack.
• Bomb Avoidance: Be mindful of his timed bomb attacks and position yourself to avoid them.

• A chest containing a Huge Crystallized Charge.
• A Schema Stone from a nearby Construct.
