Master Kohga has three attack strategies depending on the percentage of his health. After depleting his HP by 1/3, he will move on to the next attack phase.

Master Kohga Phase 1 Strategy


Forcefield
Master Kohga has a forcefield in front of him, blocking your attacks. Wait for him to do the next action for him the forcefield to disappear.

Summon Rock
The forcefield disappears, and he raises his arms to summon a rock to throw at your direction.

Shoot at his face when he summons a rock, causing it to fall on him.

Stay Close

Although this fight will mostly have you use your bow, it is best to keep a short distance with Kohga so you have more time to deal melee damage when he is knocked down.

Master Kohga Phase 2 Strategy


Summon Two Rocks
He will summon two rocks, and throw them one by one at your direction. Run to the side to dodge them.

Shoot at the Right Moment

You cannot shoot Kohga when he is summoning the rocks. However, when he is controlling them to revolve around him, the forcefield will be gone. Shoot him in the face when a rocks is just above his head.

Master Kohga Phase 3 Strategy


Summon Metal Spikeball
He will summon a metal spikeball, and will drag it to you using his own Magnesis. Counter it with your Magnesis, and drop it over to his head.
