"This massive monster swims beneath the desert's sand. It spends most of its time submerged, but if it senses sound, it will breach the surface to feast on whatever it can grab. Running around carelessly can be dangerous if you suspect there may be one in the area."
The Molduga is one of the three main overworld sub-bosses found in Breath of the Wild. Making their home in the Gerudo Desert, there are only four remaining in the species. As part of the Champions' Ballad DLC, a Molduking can also be found.
Defeating all four Molduga and speaking with Kilton will reward Link with the Medal of Honor for this enemy.
Strategy
This boss swims underneath the sand, and has extremely good hearing, so if you move quickly it will be alerted and begin to swim to you. The best thing to do here is to stand on land which isn't sand, such as a broken pillar or a rock. You can use its hearing to your advantage though, by standing on a rock and tossing out a Bomb in its direction. It should notice it, and begin swimming toward it. Once it reaches it, the Molduga will jump out of the sand, swallowing the bomb. At this point, you should detonate the bomb and the boss will fall to the ground, vulnerable to hits. Run up to it and use a powerful two-handed weapon such as a Royal Claymore to deal great damage. Repeating this a few times will eliminate it quickly. Three uses of Urbosa's Fury should kill it as well.
Reward
Upon death, the Molduga will explode spectacularly, and drop a large amount of items. These include an array of Fins and Guts, as well as two chests, which tend to contain powerful weapons such as a Royal Broadsword or a Royal Halberd.
Trivia
- Similar to the Zoras, Moldugas may credit their vulnerability to electric attacks to their possible aquatic origin. This is paradoxical to their environment, however, as most monsters in the Gerudo Desert are electrical in nature.
- Due to their presence, and the existence of the Gerudo Great Skeleton, it's possible that the Gerudo Desert used to be underwater in ancient times.
