Interact with the Korok stump on the ground before the final boss area. This may be hidden by sludge, so it's best to clean the area using Qia's strong attacks or the Hydrant Zonai device.

Step-by-Step Guide

1
Blue Moblin at the start
The Battle opens with the objective of dealing with the two Blue Bokoblins along the path.
2
sludge-covered weak-point gauge
A Moblin will appear further along the path, which will get covered in thick sludge.

While it can still be countered with special actions, regular attacks won't do much on its weak-point until the sludge is removed. Water attacks like using the Hydrant Zonai device is one way to remove this coating.
3
Rauru holding the ground
Head east to the center of the map to meet with Qia. Once you reach the location, hold your ground for a while and wait for the dialogue to finish. A cutscene will play afterwards showing a new sludge enemy: a Sludge Like.
4
Sludge Like attacked with water skill
Qia is now playable! Her strong attacks are imbued with water and are very effective against sludge enemies.

Her Torrential Wave skill also deals water damage, which you can use as an opening attack against the Sludge Like.
*
Hydrant Zonai device obtained
Sludge Like will drop a chest containing the Hydrant Zonai device! Your non-Zora characters will now be able to deal water damage to counter sludge-covered enemies.
5
Sludge enemies appear
Split the group into two and order allies to move to the two marked locations on your map. Have your Hydrants prepared as more sludge enemies will appear after taking one of the marked outposts.
6
Sludge Hinox near the end of the Battle
Regroup and go to the easternmost path of the map and defeat the sludge Hinox along the way.
7
Grimtorok weak-point broken
Further down south from the sludge Hinox outpost is the last outpost where you'll fight Grimtorok.

Like most sludge enemies, water-imbued attacks are also effective against Grimtorok, but only until the first weak-point break. Once the red sludge covering its head is removed, Grimtorok's weak-point will be normally damaged by any attack, even those that are not water-based.
