How to Defeat Mogryph in The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
Before we go into the details of how to defeat Mogryph in the newestThe Legend of Zeldatitle, pay attention to these tricks that will help tilt the odds in your favor.
Head to the Gerudo Shop in Gerudo Town and get yourself some fancy Gerudo Sandals. These are quicksand-proof shoes that will help you move much faster without sinking in. They’re 400 Rupees and well worth the investment. Remember to equip this stylish accessory in your Equipment tab before the battle.

When you’re inside the arena, hit the sand piles that will keep reappearing during the fight. These hold valuable hearts and Energy spheres.
In ourThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of WisdomSeismic Talus boss guide, we pointed out that echoing a bed and taking a nap can be used to replenish hearts. This is still possible while fighting Mogryph, but much riskier, as his attacks are faster, so be careful before napping.
How to Avoid Mogryph’s Attacks
Mogryph has three types of attacks he’ll rain down on you in quick succession in two distinct stages that you will have to weave around to survive. Remember to press R to spin, which will help you avoid these.
While the attacks remain the same throughout the battle, they will get stronger and faster toward the end.
Bursts of sand: when you see him lift one of his paws (claws?), he’s about to shoot bursts of sand in your direction. Quickly move toward his side to avoid these.

Leaping mole: In one of his attacks, he jumps out of the sand and shoots toward you. You can anticipate this when you see him burrowing under the ground. He will then come shooting out from the spot where the sand bubbles up.
In the second stage, he’ll dive into the sand before burrowing underneath it, so pay attention to his shadow signaling his attack from above.
Barrage of sand tornadoes: Once this big guy is airborne during the second stage of the fight, he’ll send a barrage of tornadoes your way, which swirl around the arena. It takes some quick weaving around them using R to spin to avoid being swept away.
How to Kill Mogryph With Two Simple Tricks
The fight is separated into two stages.
Only avoiding his attacks won’t do the trick. Now, how to damage this insanely agile beast of a mole?
Summons: Get yourself some assistance with helpful summons. The Boomerang Boarblin is a good choice during the first stage due to their ranged attacks. During the second stage, pick Mothula to deal damage while he’s in the air.
These minions don’t just help deal damage but will also distract Mogryph, leading him to occasionally direct his attacks toward them instead of you, giving you an in to counter.

Stun him with a statue: The best way to deal a proper amount of damage is by stunning Mogryph. Keep a stone statue or a boulder at the ready, as you won’t have a lot of time for this.
These are the two best ways to stun him:
When Mogryph is stunned with his head stuck in the sand, summon a powerful ally, like the Darknut or the Boomerang Boarblin, and transform into Swordfighter Form to deal as much damage as you can before he recovers.
Once you beat Mogryph, Tri will level up, allowing you to summon echoes at a distance. You’ll also receive five Might Crystals and a Heart Container, increasing your maximum number of hearts.
