The battle starts with Moldorm quickly moving around the room in random patterns. Moldorm's only weak point is its tail.

Boss Strategy

The battle starts with Moldorm quickly moving around the room in random patterns. Moldorm's only weak point is its tail. If Link touches Moldorm's head, slashes its head etc. he will bounce back. In order to defeat Moldorm, Link must hit Moldorm's tail six times with his sword. However, if Link falls down any of the pits, he will have to climb back up and start the battle over again. This boss preys on Link's annoyance factor by trying to send him off the edge causing the battle to start over. The entrance spot at the bottom in the first encounter provides somewhat of a safe haven. The best strategy is to strike its tail when it is revealed and quickly avoid it, hitting only at the most opportune moment. After Moldorm has been hit four times, it moves much faster than usual, making it even more difficult to hit. Hitting it two more times finishes the job. Once Link defeats Moldorm, he is rewarded with a Heart Container and the Pendant of Wisdom.
