Learn how to defeat Mucktorok, the Water Temple boss in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This guide covers Mucktorok's attacks and strategies for beating him.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Weak Point: Mucktorok itself, when exposed from the muck shark.
  • Damage Source: Sidon’s water ability is required to expose Mucktorok.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Mucktorok hides in a muck shark. The shark attacks with quick lunges, muck beams, and muck waves. Use Sidon’s water to wash away the shark, then attack Mucktorok. He will retreat; chase or shoot him with an arrow to stun him.
  2. Phase 2 (Below 50% HP): Mucktorok covers the arena in muck, slowing Link. The shark spits muck globs. Continue using Sidon’s water to expose Mucktorok and attack him. He will now move between muck pools, so aim carefully or quickly clear muck to hit him.

Strategy:

  • Dodge the shark's attacks by moving away, jumping, or using Sidon’s water.
  • When Mucktorok is exposed, deal as much damage as possible with your weapon.
  • In the second phase, be patient when Mucktorok moves between muck pools. Use arrows or quickly clear muck to get hits in.
  • Heart Container
  • Sidon becomes a Sage
  • Zora’s Domain is cleansed
