The Scourge of the Wind Temple, Colgera, is a main boss in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. She is a source of all the calamities happening in the Hebra region, and must be stopped at all costs. With the future sage Tulin at your side, let us help you take down one of the most vicious bosses in Zelda: TotK.
After opening up the temple by unlocking all the Wind Temple locks in Zelda: TotK, players finally go up against the main boss of the Wind Temple, Colgera. Tulin thinks that Colgera is the reason behind the blizzard you have been investigating during the Tulin of Rito Village main quest. The only way to find out for sure is by defeating Colgera in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How to Prepare for Colgera in Zelda: TotK
Colgera is not n optional boss in the game. She will appear at the end of Wind Temple and is the source of blizzards in the Hebra Region. As soon as you open all the locks in the Wind Temple, a cutscene will trigger, and Colgera will appear.
Before triggering the cutscene, make sure that you have enough cold-resistant meals and healing items. Remember to prepare the meals that are capable of regenerating Link’s Hearts, or else the meals will have a negative impact on the cold resistance.
This boss also depends on your ability to shoot its body while paragliding. This means you must have a lot of arrows and at least two stamina wheels to stay airborne.
How to Beat Colgera in Zelda: TotK
The whole fight will against Colgera takes place in the air and you must use your Paraglider to your advantage. Colgera has three different attacks and all three attacks are easily predictable.
Colgera has 3x ice rings on her body; these rings are both the life force and attack source of Colgera. You have to destroy these rings twice to defeat her. For me, the best strategy was to keep my distance from Colgera. Whenever you notice him doing a zigzag motion, that’s the indication of his attack and an opening for you to break the first ring.
Colgera will release big ice chunks that’ll be directed to you by the wind blowing in the Storm Cloud. You have to dodge the ice chunks and dive right through the ice ring. Doing so will shatter the ring, and the 2nd attack of Colgera is right after you shatter one of her rings.
In this attack, Colgera comes from below through a water portal that can one-shot you if you get hit. You can just dodge the attack by going in any direction with Tulin’s Gust of Wind. Do the same thing and destroy the other two rings.
After destroying all three rings for the first time, a short cutscene will start in which Colgera will come out of her portal with all three rings intact. This time, Colgera will also use mini tornadoes to attack you along with the ice chunks.
During the fight, if you get hit by a tornado, you risk losing more than 2 hearts per hit, so avoid these at all costs. Other than the tornado, Colgera has the same attack pattern in this phase, and you will get the same openings.
Make sure you don’t get carried away and try to destroy the rings from below, since that is not possible. The moment you destroy all three rings for the 2nd time, a short cutscene will start, and Colgera will be destroyed.
The wind around you will go normal, and you will receive a Heart Container and then automatically be fast-traveled to the Rito Village, thus completing Tulin of Rito Village and unlocking his Sage ability.
Colgera Boss Rewards
Colgera is the main dungeon boss in Zelda: TotK. Defeating her will reward you with a heart container that instantly increases your hearts by 1. You will also get Tulin’s Vow, which allows you to summon Tulin’s avatar any time you want. He will help you reach farther places while gliding.
Defeating Colgera in the Depths will reward you with Colgera’s Jaw, which you can fuse with any weapon to increase its attack power. You can also fuse it with the shields, and enemies will take damage upon attacking you (make sure that you are blocking).
Colgera’s Jaw in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be obtained multiple times, as she will respawn in the depths after every Blood Moon.
