Maz Koshia also serves as the boss of the final [[Divine Beast]], and has many phases. Upon defeat, they will bestow upon Link the [[Master Cycle Zero]].

===Phase 2===
===Phase 2===
After around 20% of Maz Koshia's health is depleted, he will fly upwards and initiate his second phase: duplication. He will split into nine different, identical forms of himself, each attacking you at different times. The aim here is to find the real Monk, as when you slash at the fakes they simply vanish. [[Remote Bomb (Rune)|Bombs]] can be used when they are grouped up to eliminate multiple monks at once, and the real one will not vanish when struck. Use this opportunity to get in lots of hits. As this phase draws to a close, they will line up and take turns to attack you, either by teleporting above and thrusting downwards, or by charging towards you. The same method applies, strike them all until you find the real one. Repeat until his health drops to half. Another method you could try is very peculiar: exposing the real monk with (a) Mighty Banana. As with the Yiga Clan and the remaining Sheikah, Maz Koshia loves Mighty Bananas. When all nine monks are surrounding you in a circle, open your inventory, pull out a Mighty Banana, and drop it on the ground. Doing so will result in all of the fake monks becoming stunned and the real Maz Koshia will run clumsily to the Mighty Banana. Upon reaching it, he will kneel down, pick it up, and eat it. He, and the other fake monks, will then return to normal and continue attacking you. If you have enough Mighty Bananas, feel free to continue using this method. The [[Camera (Rune)|Camera Rune]] is able to tell which is real for only the Monk himself will be identified as an entity. However, as the nine Maz Koshias will not desist their assault while the Rune is active, this strategy is flawed.

After you have eliminated the monk, he will congratulate you and the battlefield will shift, and you will be presented with the Master Cycle Zero.

==Trivia==
*Maz Koshia is likely the oldest Sheikah met, as unlike all the other Monks he does not pass on, instead opting to remain in his Divine Beast to be rematched whenever Link feels up to the task.
