How to Beat the Two-Headed Plant Manhandla

Add to Watchlist

Manhandla Boss

Manhandla is a miniboss that can be fought at Faron Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (EoW). Read on to learn more on how to beat Manhandla, as well as its weaknesses, location, and rewards from beating Manhandla in the game.

How to Beat Manhandla

How to Beat Manhandla


Make It Eat a Bombfish Echo

In your first encounter with Manhandla, it will have two heads. Summon a Bombfish Echo in front of one of the heads to make it eat the bomb. This will stagger the head briefly, giving you an opening to attack its weak points, indicated by a glowing red bead.

Make sure you have a Monster Echo already summoned to hit the weak points while you're busy distracting the boss's heads.

Use Bind to Reveal Weak Points

Manhandla Weak Point

You can also use Bind to pull at Manhandla's heads and expose its weak points. We recommend summoning Boomerang Boarblin so it can strike multiple weak points at once.

Boss Moves to a Different Room for Phase 2

Manhandla Four Heads
Once both heads are defeated, Manhandla will retreat and move to a different room for Phase 2. The second encounter takes place behind the second locked door, just before the room with a Waypoint and two brown pots.

In Phase 2, Manhandla now has four heads, with two of them shooting seed projectiles. The strategy remains the same, but be sure to summon more Monster Echoes to cover more ground and use Spin to dodge the incoming projectiles.
