Learn how to defeat Moldarach in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD with our expert guide. Find tips and strategies to overcome this challenging boss.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll find yourself in a large chamber within the Lanayru Mining Facility. Moldarach, a massive scorpion, will emerge from the sand.
- 2Moldarach has two main attacks: it can either scuttle across the floor quickly or slam its tail down. When it scuttles, try to stay out of its path. When it slams its tail, it will create shockwaves, so jump over them.
- 3Your primary tool here is the Gust Bellows. Use it to blow away the sand covering Moldarach's eyes. When its eyes are exposed, it will become stunned.
- 4While it's stunned, quickly run up to it and attack its eyes with your sword. You can also use the spin attack for more damage.
- 5After you've attacked its eyes a few times, Moldarach will recover and start attacking more aggressively. It will also start using its pincers to try and grab you.
- 6When Moldarach tries to grab you with its pincers, dodge out of the way. If it successfully grabs you, you'll take damage.
- 7Moldarach will eventually flip over onto its back, exposing its soft underbelly. This is your chance to deal massive damage. Run up and attack its underbelly with your sword.
- 8Repeat this process: use the Gust Bellows to stun it, attack its eyes, dodge its attacks, and then attack its underbelly when it flips over.
- 9Once you've depleted its health, Moldarach will be defeated.
Tips
- Keep moving! Standing still makes you an easy target for Moldarach's attacks.
- Don't be afraid to use the Gust Bellows liberally. It's essential for stunning the boss.
- If you get grabbed by its pincers, mash the buttons to escape as quickly as possible.
- The spin attack is very effective against its eyes and underbelly when it's stunned or flipped.
