How to Beat Moldorm

Strategy

Moldorms are first seen in Fire Sanctuary after getting the Mogma Mitts, and digging specific locations where it spawns. It is a large and long armored worm that moves around while you are underground.

Hit the Moldorm's tail

Like most Moldorms in The Legend of Zelda series, the Moldorm's weakpoint is its tail, indicated by a glowing orange ball. You must hit it three times to defeat it.

The more it decreases in length, the more faster it moves around.

Chase after it halts

After some time, the Moldorm will briefly stop moving, giving you the chance to chase after its tail.

You can still sprint while underground.

Chase after the tail strategically

When chasing the tail, you should not directly chase it from behind. Instead, strategically predict where the Moldorm will turn, and chase after its tail by meeting it from an intersection.

Bait to wall to stun

When the Moldorm's eyes turn from green to red, it means that it has noticed you in its line of sight. It will then charge at you at full speed, which you should avoid by sprinting to a different direction.

You can use this knowledge to bait it to a wall to stun it. This gives you ample time to go and hit its tail.
