At this point in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll have met up with Yunobo and ascended to the top of Death Mountain with him. However, up top, something terrible lurks among the crater, and it is, of course, Link and Yunobo’s job to take care of this gigantic beast: Moragia.

Moragia is made up of marbled rock, and has three heads full of it. This makes them pretty daunting to look at, but all in all, they’re easy to take down if you’re used to using a glider. So, here’s how to beat Moragia in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

After having ascended up to the very top of Death Mountain, Moragia will appear, beckoning Link for one epic boss battle. This fight isn’t too much trouble, and we’ll be relying on Yunobo’s charge ability for most of it!

Now, you’ve probably noticed Moragia is massive, and that it’s no use attacking the boss from the platform where the fight begins. To Link’s right, however, is a glider fitted with fans and a steering device.

Hop on and activate the glider, and use this to navigate your way around Moragia. We want to aim at its red, rocky heads and charge at them with Yunobo’s attack. While doing this, we also want to avoid the flames and lava being spat at us by Moragia. It’s all easily done, however.

The only thing that is a bit of a stickler is controlling the glider. You’ll want to aim upwards to go higher and keep forward. Aiming down won’t do us any good! Also, give yourself some extra time and space for any turning, but don’t worry too much.

All in all, the boss has three rocky heads that we need to charge at. Once that’s done, the fight is over. No second phase for us to worry about!

Now, the cavern beneath Moragia will have opened, so it’s time for Link to venture into The Depths again. Make sure you’ve plenty of Blightbroom Seeds to illuminate the darkness down there.

Make sure to not land in the lava, and activate the first Lightroot you see. Speak with Yunobo, and he’ll direct you to the west of this area.

So, continually head west, and use Brightbloom Seeds to illuminate the way whenever it gets a little too dark. There’ll also be more red rocks down here, and you know the drill; have Yunobo charge at them to destroy them.

I’d also avoid enemies for the time being, unless you’re confident. These gloom-covered beasts will crack all Link’s hearts, which can be a pain to restore while down in The Depths. Here’s how to heal cracked hearts if you’re unfortunate, however.

Along the way, you’ll have to use a vehicle to get across some lava. Aside from that, you’ll be able to head west toward the Misisi Lightroot on foot, and then towards the large building that looms over Link.

As you approach the building, you’ll discover Lost Gorondia and the Fire Temple within it. Here’s how to complete the Fire Temple, and finally round up the Goron City questline.
