Moldarach, Thousand-Year Arachnid is the Boss of the Lanayru Mining Facility in Skyward Sword. It also appears inside the large room in the Shipyard. As its title suggests, a Moldarach may be able to live for millennia under the sand.

Boss Strategy

This scorpion will guard with its claws. When it opens up to prepare an attack, slash at the eyes in the direction that the claws aren't guarding (if the claw opens vertically, slash horizontally). Eventually, one eye will turn red. That signifies that that claw will lunge and attempt to grab Link. If it does, break free by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

Once a claw has been hit enough, it will fall off. Do the same to the other claw. Once the claws are gone, it will change its attack strategy and bury itself under the sand. Once the player has located the moving pile of sand, take out the Gust Bellows and try to uncover it. When enough of Moldarach is showing, it will jump out and resume fighting Link above ground. Now Moldarach will jab with its stinger or ram Link with its head. When Moldarach is preparing to charge, its eye will close. Be sue to get out of the way. If it does manage to successfully charge, a side-jump or backflip is enough to successfully dodge. When charging the jab attack, its eye will turn red, signifying the weakness. Stabbing its eye will hurt it, and cause it to bury under the sand again. Repeat until Moldarach is defeated.
