How to Beat Monk Maz Koshia

As the Arbiter of Worthiness, Monk Maz Koshia is one of the toughest bosses in the game. Not only is he quick and nimble, he also employs powerful Sheikah abilities that will will leave Link chasing after him throughout the fight.

Monk Maz Koshia has three phases, using different sets of skills each time.

First Phase

In this stage, Monk Maz Koshia's combat skills are quite similar to the Yiga Clan Footsoldiers. He will teleport around the arena, slashing Link with his Guardian Sword. Use Stasis to freeze the monk in place and pummel him with your strongest weapons!

The monk also uses a magic spell similar to the ones used by Yiga Clan Blademasters, which causes a pillar of rock to erupt beneath Links' feet. When this happens, prepare to glide up using the air vents that appear and shoot the monk's head with your bow to stun him.

Second Phase

During the second phase, Monk Maz Koshia will split himself into 9 illusory copies. These copies employ the same abilities as the original and can damage Link. Hitting a copy causes it to vanish in a puff of smoke.

The most challenging part of this phase is finding the real Maz Koshia, but there are many ways you can go about revealing the original.

Use Urbosa's Fury

Urbosa's Fury will knock out all copies and momentarily stun the real monk, allowing you to freeze him with Stasis and strike him with your strongest weapons.

Use Multi-Shot Bows

Multi-Shot Bows are also a good weapon to use against him in this stage since you can hit multiple copies with your 3-Shot or 5-Shot bows.

Note: The battle takes place in the rain, so you can't use Bomb Arrows against the monk.

Third Phase

During his third and last phase, Monk Maz Koshia will magically increase his size to roughly the same size of a Hinox, and will levitate above the arena.

Shoot his Eye

Shoot Monk Maz Koshia's head to interrupt his attacks. Shooting him three times consecutively also knocks him down to the arena.

Reflect his Laser Beam

Monk Maz Koshia will use a laser beam similar to Guardian Stalkers. Ready your shield and parry the laser beam to reflect his attack and deal good damage to him!

Redirect his Lightning

Monk Maz Koshia will summon large spiked metal balls that he will throw at Link. After throwing his last metal ball, he will then charge up a lightning attack that will strike all metal balls and deal damage to the surrounding area.

Use Magnesis on one of the spiked metal balls and bring it close to Monk Maz Koshia. When he unleashes his lightining, he will get hit by his own attack and will fall to the arena, allowing you to hit him with your weapons.
