Colgera, the monster that inhabits the Temple of the Wind in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is gigantic and scary. If there are several ways to beat him, you can save your arrows by favoring a thrifty way to defeat him. To your paragliders!
It is an innocent post that has heated the spirits on the Facebook group Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, very frequented by many fans seeking advice and support. A user proudly broadcast, on June 13, 2023, some photos of the screen of his Nintendo Switch console, to show that he had finally overcome Colgera, the great monster that guards the temple of the wind.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK) is a non-linear game: the players take very different paths and almost never achieve the same results with the same tactics. There are still four essential benchmarks if you follow the main quest, in the form of four dungeons (temple of wind, fire, water and lightning).
Zelda TOTK does not indicate an order for chaining them, but several clues lead gamers to start with the Piaf Dungeon, to the east of the map, also called the temple of the wind. It is here that we meet Colgera, an impressive boss by its size and its rapid movements in the air.
To defeat him, you have to wait a few seconds for his armor to reveal more fragile areas, which can be broken like glass. This is where the methods vary.
How to beat Colgera, the Temple of Wind boss?
The netizen at the heart of the debate on the aforementioned Facebook group sparked outrage by assuming he used ” 40 flower bombs on arrows to overcome the monster. This is a pretty heartfelt admission of failure, as it’s 4 times more arrows than normally needed. In addition, flower bombs are rather rare objects in the game (because they are very powerful), which adds a layer of disappointment to its experience – especially when you know that a simple arrow also does the trick, to pierce the glass belly of the boss…
But that’s not all: it’s actually perfectly possible to defeat Colgera without spending a single arrow. ” The only thing you had to do was wait for the spines on his back to fly off to expose his areas of weakness…and just drop into them. “, asserted a user. ” Sorry to ruin your day, but there’s no need for arrows “, outbid another. ” It takes 0 arrow, if you know how to drop right ! continued a third.
If you don’t believe these tips, you can see them in action in this 5-minute video from Gamerpillar, which shows with disconcerting ease how to let yourself be carried up before diving into the beast’s weak spots.
In the end, the Facebook post generated nearly a hundred comments. Fortunately, several thoughtful players came to console the 40-arrow gamer, reminding him that there is no one right way to approach the game and that everyone manages as they want, or as he wishes. After all, that is above all the beauty of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the best online multiplayer game, which is neither multiplayer nor online.
