Zelda: BOTW (The Final Trial – Boss Monk Maz Koshia) DLC Pack 2

I highly recommend coming to this fight with a fully powered Master Sword no matter what kind of playthrough you're doing. 👍🗡

I feel like most fights in BOTW have some sort of concise and clean strategy that can be used. Some of the strategies are definitely more difficult than others, but generally there’s something that can be done. Lynels, Taluses, Hinoxes, Guardians, Guardian Scouts, the blight Ganons, Mr. Calamity himself, etc, there are techniques that can be exploited to make quick work of any enemy. But I have yet to see footage of this fight where there wasn’t some degree of flailing. Link desperately trying to stay on his feet while an endless barrage of attacks rain hellfire down on his head. There are some tricks, perfect dodges, the banana distraction, and Urbosa’s fury, but nothing carves it up like the other boss fights. It is long, brutal, and messy. Not to mention it comes after completing the exhausting and nerve-wracking one-hit obliterator trials, twelve of the most difficult shrines in the game and their associated quests, defeating all four Blight Ganons again with pre-selected weapons, armor and resources, and then the divine beast puzzle that opens the final door. It is a long and winding road just to this fight, which has to be the most challenging one in the game. It makes the major tests of strength feel like child’s play. Hell, it makes the actual final boss feel like child’s play. Which is why it’s so rewarding when you finally finish it, the epic music as the master cycle comes out of the pedestal, it all feels worth it.

I walked into this having forgotten to stock up on hearty food and I feel like I made it by the skin of my teeth. It was so long and challenging. There were stretches that I was just trying to avoid being pummeled. I’m not the most skilled player, I tend to get flustered. So I was thrilled that I managed to beat him without dying repeatedly. I didn’t even have to use Mipha’s Grace!

But I also forgot that I was wearing my shock-proof rubber armor. You know, that set with the ridiculous fish helmet. So when the fight ended, and I was rewarded with the well-worth-it ancient masterpiece that I’d been looking forward to… Link had that dumb fish on his head the entire time. When he looked at Hyrule Castle and finally recalled the last memory, he was wearing that stupid hat. It was great.

The developers did a fantastic job with this DLC. 10/10

It was the easiest. Try dropping some banana during the fight 😅

I did this in master mode for the first time and it was a nightmare lol

I heard this is how you get a motorcycle license in Japan

All US Presidential elects should be required to pass this test.

What happened to them in zelda tears of the kingdom

“In the name of the Goddess Hylia…”

“… Boy, you better have found all 120 of those shrines.”

Bro could have stomped ganon but decided some random hylian should do it.

I wish the platform stayed in the sky

its crazy that this is just ONE ancient shiekah THOUSANDS OF YEARS after their prime

Imagine the entire army of these guys fighting against the calamity 10000 years ago

God damn 2:58

1:00 – 1:50 music anime as fuck.

Link vs zeniatta ?

I knew this fight would happen, but I didn’t know it was THIS trial! I thought it was for the final Shrine! Poor Link was living off of raw chicken, mushrooms, and mighty bananas. I got the motorcycle though! I just needed to restock all of my materials 😅

When he STOOD UP I knew Daruks Protection was gonna NEED to be ready

oddly enough i had no trouble with this guy, if you just read his moves carefully and know when to properly counter hes a piece of cake

The only battle in which the camera actually comes in useful.

"Why do I hear boss music?"
