The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been a popular game since its release, and players are often looking for ways to defeat the game’s challenging bosses. One such boss, the Colgera, can be particularly difficult to beat. In this guide, we’ll give you some tips to help you defeat Colgera in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How to Beat Colgera in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Colgera boss guards the Wind Temple in Hebra. It’s a daunting task to defeat the creature, but with the right strategy, it can be done. Keep in mind that this entire battle takes place in the sky, so you’ll want to make sure you don’t fall all the way down to your doom.
The Strategy
To deal damage to Colgera, you’ll need to dive and accelerate to hit the crystalline carapace on its body. The faster you are when you crash into it (i.e. diving from a greater height uninterrupted), the faster you’ll break that carapace. If you only dive when you’re fairly close, the carapace won’t break instantly, and Link might just bounce off.
While it’s possible to strike the crystalline carapace while Colgera is moving vertically (which means you’re falling down), we found that this was a bit of a hassle.
Colgera’s Abilities
Colgera has a few notable abilities:
- Skyward Spikes – The spikes from its back will be launched toward you, so you have to avoid them while skydiving.
- The Serpent Below – After breaking a carapace, Colgera will screech and disappear. It will then emerge from below, beelining straight for Link. Use Tulin’s Wind Burst to move sideways.
- Terrible Tornadoes – When below 50% HP, Colgera will start casting tornadoes your way. You’ll have to glide sideways as you attempt to get closer.
You’ll have to find a gap to dodge tornadoes.
Break Three Carapaces
You’ll simply skydive to break three carapaces, which will then lead to the second phase. After that, you’ll have to break three more. With a bit of luck, you should be able to defeat the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Colgera boss. This will complete the Hebra/Rito Village quest chain. Tulin will also grant you his vow, allowing you to make use of Wind Burst during your travels.
