Inseparable from the saga The Legend of Zelda, the temple guardians are obviously present in Zelda TotK, but they are far from being the only bosses. On the map, enormous threats lurk: in this complete guide, we tell you where they are all, why to farm them and how to defeat them.
A major flaw of Zelda Breath of the Wild, the bosses and bestiary of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom slightly correct the situation, but the account is still not there. As excellent as the game may be, Playing the same golemax or hinox that dies in two hits clearly detracts from the fun of the game in the medium term.. Still, there are quite a few entries in the encyclopedia, and considerable effort has been made to ensure that dungeon keepers have some real fun mechanics to counter. Here are absolutely every boss you can encounter in the game, with detailed guides and videos.
Main Quest Bosses
As you complete the regional investigations and main quests of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you will come across the traditional dungeon guardians, but not only! Unlike Zelda Breath of the Wild, the scripted phases between the main dungeons are often interrupted by a mini-boss, each with a unique concept. Only the Piaf adventure doesn’t have its own intermediate boss, but it makes up for that with an epic climb between flying boats. Here we go, we’re taking stock of all the big bad guys you’ll meet during the story of Tears of the Kingdom. !
Glagayla: Boss of the Wind Temple
- The final battle of the Wind Temple takes place in the air, exploiting paragliding and freefall.
- Glagayla spits violent icicles in your direction at a steady pace until its weak points become apparent.
- Break the purple circles one by one by diving directly into it or using bomb arrows.
- During its second phase, It will accelerate the production of tornadoes and force you to move quickly with the power of Babil.
Like de Vase: Mini-boss of Sidon, Zora’s Domain
- By completing Sidon’s quests in Zora’s Domain, you will eventually come across this monster covered in slime, for a fight that should remind some of Super Mario Sunshine.
- You need a magic wand + opal or a shield + spiller to hope to easily clear the mud all around him. A function that we will find in the final boss of the temple.
- Aside from the layers of gunk, combat is similar to the base like-like.you should have no trouble getting through it.
Octopoulpos: Boss of the Water Temple
- For the final boss of the Water Temple, as with the Like of Vase, do not enter the arena without a weapon fused with an opal or spill shields.
- The boss is constantly moving in the mud and this allows him to reach you quite easily, The aim of the game will therefore be to clean all of this up in order to expose it..
- Sidon’s special attack is clearly an additional help, but it is very difficult to rely on it alone to achieve victory.
- Beware of the long waves of mud that it throws up at regular intervals. : splash them to make them disappear before they hit you.
Angania: Yunobo mini-boss, from Goron village
- After your foray to the top of Death Mountain, you will meet Angania, a huge hydra of lava and magma which you will have to destroy with the oath of Yunobo.
- Fly the glider all paying attention to the line of sight of Yunobo’s torpedo and shoot directly at the tentacles to explode them.
- This fight is above all a very fun moment of the adventurebefore diving into the anguish of the Fire Temple in the depths.
Lithogohma: Boss of the Fire Temple
- The final boss of the Fire Temple is directly reminiscent of the boss fight in the very first dungeon of Zelda OOT in the heart of the Deku Tree.
- The goal of the game is to break the boss’s stone legs. thanks to the unique skill of the Goron Yunobo.
- The fight is childishly simple.since you can chain-kill the boss quite easily.
- In phase 2 you will have to play with curved walls of the arenato knock the magma spider off the ceiling. Again, the best way to break its legs is to call on Yunobo.
Queen Gibdo: Boss of the Lightning Temple
- The final boss of the Temple of Lightning is perhaps the most difficult of the regional investigations, make sure you have enough food on you before you start.
- The queen must be burned before she can be hit, so use Riju’s special move from Gerudo City wisely. Once the beast is burned, you’ll have plenty of time to chain her.
- The most boring part of the fight comes around the middle of it: The mother of Gibdo will make her roots come out of the ground and try to overwhelm you with her little ones.
- Eliminate the cursed roots one by one as they light up and conclude the fight in style!
Corrupted Golem: Spirit Temple Boss
- The final boss of the Temple of the Spirit is a sort of tutorial conclusion to learn how to master the oath of the fifth wise man.
- Don’t confuse it with ranged weapons and favor hand-to-hand combat for this confrontation.
- To defeat him quickly, push it into the “laser ropes”” that surround the entire arena. Once knocked out, you will be able to deal heavy damage to this boss.
- You can find the same type of fight at the end of the deep side quest thread, The Plans of the Great Kohga.
Ganondorf: Final Boss
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, our guide to the big final boss of this adventure of more than a hundred hours is coming soon.but for now we prefer to avoid taking the risk of showing it to you. The course and difficulty of the confrontation will clearly be debated but the whole, particularly spectacular, hit the mark with us (and this music, kids…).
World Map Boss
All the monsters you come across during your exploration can be retried, even if you manage to eliminate it. Thanks to the famous blood moon, mobs and bosses fallen in battle are reborn and are once again available for fighting. Another special feature of the Zelda TotK map: it is possible to fight all the bosses in the story again. by going into the depths. Indeed, the dark world houses gigantic arenas on which temple guardians appear once defeated. Too bad, however, that these are not more complicated forms to defeat.
Lynel: Location and Rewards
- Lynels are the most interesting enemies to fight in Zelda TotK and it was already the case in Breath of the Wild, but it is not officially counted as a boss.
- As with other enemy types, you will have to unsolder it several times if you want its shape to change. Basically, if you’re looking to challenge a silver lynel to fuse with your gerudo scimitar, you’re going to have to wait.
- The buildings don’t work against them : their cry disintegrates any trace of soneau artifact in the perimeter.
- You absolutely must master dodging if you intend to challenge these enemies who specialize in melee combat.
Lynel Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: Where to find them all on the map?
The Lynel are obviously making their big comeback in Zelda TotK, they are even there in force, since the depths welcome new particularly violent specimens. Here we will see the locations of these monsters on the surface and we will indicate the position of their colosseum.
Hinox: Location and Rewards
- These cyclops bosses must be hit in the eye to fall.
- Once on land, just stuff like hell. Use spears against these monsters. in order to avoid the protections they have on their legs easily.
- You will need to collect dozens of Hinox Nails to upgrade your Demon God Outfit at the Great Fairies.
Fortified Lithorok
- These stone bosses now have a variant with a mini bokoblin camp on their backs.
- Do infiltration under his belly to pass on top and clean up the enemies.
- Destroy the vein that serves as its weak point.
- There is a form of Rare Lithorok that allows you to make some rubies from the rough diamonds they sometimes drop.
Golemax: How to beat the Sky Islands boss
- A new boss you will encounter ad nauseam on the celestial islands.

- This boss has 3 forms : flat, cubic, humanoid. The strategy mentioned above works for all shapes.
- He is Available in Advanced and Ultimate forms, which are slightly more powerful.but nothing that really impacts the course of the fight
Gigatracian: How to beat this mini-boss of the depths?

Moldarquor: How to beat this desert mini-boss?

- Upon his death, Ganon’s ghost drops a katana, the Miasmatic Saber, as well as components that will help you better face the depths.
Griock: How to beat hydras
- One hydra per elementeach with its dedicated element.
- Shoot arrows at each head to take them down one by one : once all 3 are down, the monster will collapse to the ground and give you plenty of time to beat it up.
- In the second phase, the griock will launch novas of their element : these are massive attacks, very difficult to dodge and which can be confusing.
- For ice cream griock, for example, You have to use one of the giant stalactites thrown at Link to apply retrospectively and gain perspective very simply.

You will need: take a picture of him for Kilton, the monster collector.
