Struggling with the Tower of Hera boss in A Link Between Worlds? Learn Moldorm's patterns and how to strike its glowing tail to claim the Pendant of Power.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You're in the boss arena for the Tower of Hera. The boss, Moldorm, is a giant segmented creature that moves around the arena.
  2. 2
    Moldorm moves similarly to the smaller versions you've seen, changing direction when it hits the edges of the platform.
  3. 3
    The key to this fight is its glowing red tail. This is the only part of Moldorm you can damage, and your sword is your primary weapon for this.
  4. 4
    Keep your distance initially and focus on observing its movement patterns. You need to be fast enough to avoid being trampled while also predicting where it will move next.
  5. 5
    When you see an opening, dash in and slash its tail.
  6. 6
    After taking a few hits, Moldorm will get angrier and move faster. When it's fully enraged, it moves very quickly.
  7. 7
    During this phase, try to stay away from it. You can use the gap in the top-left corner of the arena to your advantage by circling around it when necessary.
  8. 8
    Keep an eye on Moldorm from the top-left corner and predict its path.
  9. 9
    Tip: You can use the Hammer! A good whack to Moldorm's head will stun it for a decent amount of time, giving you a great opportunity to get behind it and attack its tail.
  10. 10
    When Moldorm starts moving in a long, predictable line (like from the top of the arena to the bottom), you can often run in from your safe spot and swipe its tail.
  11. 11
    If you're accurate, you can also hit its tail with arrows, though this becomes much harder when it's moving quickly.
  12. 12
    There's a specific situation where you can really lay into it with arrows: if Moldorm gets stuck in the top-left corner. From the opposite side of the gap, you can rain arrows down on its tail.
  13. 13
    If you take too much damage, don't be afraid to drop off the edge of the arena to grab some hearts. Just be mindful of the fast-moving spikes that might appear.
  14. 14
    Once you've finally defeated Moldorm, grab the Heart Container and the **Pendant of Power**. You'll then be transported outside the dungeon.
Tips
  • The Hammer is your best friend here for stunning Moldorm and creating openings.
  • Don't get greedy! Focus on landing one or two safe hits rather than risking too much damage for more.
  • Arrow accuracy can be tricky, but the top-left corner trap is a great opportunity if you can line it up.
  • Remember to grab hearts if you need them, but watch out for the spikes!
  • Heart Container
  • Pendant of Power
