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
- 1You're in the boss arena for the Tower of Hera. The boss, Moldorm, is a giant segmented creature that moves around the arena.
- 2Moldorm moves similarly to the smaller versions you've seen, changing direction when it hits the edges of the platform.
- 3The 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.
- 4Keep 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.
- 5When you see an opening, dash in and slash its tail.
- 6After taking a few hits, Moldorm will get angrier and move faster. When it's fully enraged, it moves very quickly.
- 7During 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.
- 8Keep an eye on Moldorm from the top-left corner and predict its path.
- 9Tip: 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.
- 10When 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.
- 11If you're accurate, you can also hit its tail with arrows, though this becomes much harder when it's moving quickly.
- 12There'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.
- 13If 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.
- 14Once you've finally defeated Moldorm, grab the Heart Container and the **Pendant of Power**. You'll then be transported outside the dungeon.
