Once the beast was slain, the blizzard finally dissipates and the snow melts away from the area, allowing the Rito to find more caves and trade with the rest of Hyrule once again.

Another Colgera is posted in the Depths of Hyrule, being one of many monsters defending the Demon King's location. Link must fight if he did not fight the Colgera in the Wind Temple, but if he did, then Tulin will deal with it for him, allowing Link to skip this fight.

Line 25: Line 26:
If Link waits for the topside to become vulnerable after Colgera fires the spikes at you, it should be fairly easy to break that weak point. One arrow is needed to break the ice, while a second will break the weak point, but a multishot bow will do both in one go. An arrow fused with something hot or fiery ([[Fire Fruit]], [[Bomb Flower]] etc.) will do both in one go, and only one shot is needed this way. If you want better accuracy, get in range and use homing fuses on your arrows ([[Keese Eyeball]]). Alternatively, or if you're out of ammunition, Link can dive toward the weak point and body-slam it; he will bounce off the ice, but if he bounces back onto the weak point, it'll break. Just be careful about any damage Link could sustain by doing so.

However, there's no real need to wait for Colgera to expose the top side of the weak points. The bottom sides are always exposed, and only require enough firepower to break the ice and hit the weak point. However, the main problem in shooting from below is that gravity will cause the arrows to fall short, requiring either Link to get *really* close or to simply use range-extending fuses (Keese Wing, Gibdo Wing etc.) to allow Link to snipe it from further down.

If you somehow manage to fight Colgera in the Depths of Hyrule Castle without the [[paraglider]] as a result of trying to go the final boss early (this can be possible such as through fall-damage cancel or using fairies to tank the otherwise fatal falls on the way there), you will be forced to use alternate methods to gain enough height as to be able to shoot Colgera. One solution is to pack Rocket-fused shields, though you will only have so many attempts to shoot Colgera this way, limited by how many you can carry. Alternatively, you'll have to whip up an airplane on the spot. Have neither option available and this is a softlock.
