How to Complete Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan
Head to the Abandoned Gerudo Mine Head to the Abandoned Lanayru Mine Head to the Abandoned Hebra Mine

Head to the Abandoned Gerudo Mine

Head to the direction where Master Kohga escaped and follow the statues until you reach your destination.

If you just came back to this Side Adventure and can't remember where to start, it's from the Great Abandoned Central Mine in the Central Hyrule Depths region.

Be sure to activate Lightroots along the way!

Abandoned Gerudo Mine Location

You'll end up near the western edge of the Depths map (Coordinates: -3716, -2883, -0487).

The footsoldiers on wings can be ignored as they can only shoot arrows at you while flying in circles.

Interact with Master Kohga

South of the mine is where Master Kohga is. Check out what he's doing with the mark to startle him.

Another boss fight! (No, you still can't use Ultrahand or Recall on his vehicle).

Head to the Abandoned Lanayru Mine

After defeating him again in battle, Master Kohga will tell you where he'll go next. Another Steward Contruct will confirm that you should meet Master Kohga at the Abandoned Lanayru Mine.

Before you leave, open the chest for a Huge Crystallized Charge and talk to the other Steward Construct for the Hovercraft Schema Stone.

Fast Travel to Makasura Shrine

Fast travel to Makasura Shrine near Kakariko Village and head north into a chasm opening. Drop down the East Hill Chasm and start your journey to the next mine.

Be Careful of Marbled Gohma

Another Marbled Gohma can be found roaming near where you land (if you already fought it in Yunobo of Goron City). You can ignore this or start a rematch for another Huge Crystallized Charge.

Activate Takaruk Lightroot (Coordinates: 2360, -0510, -0589) and start following the Zora Statues starting from the one next to the lightroot.

Fight Master Kohga Once More

These statues will lead you near the eastern end of the map. Once you reach Kawagom Lightroot (Coordinates: 3298, 0419, -0749), you'll spot the Abandoned Lanayru Mine on the north side.

Swim across and approach Master Kohga for the third fight.

Head to the Abandoned Hebra Mine

Grab the Huge Crystallized Charge from the chest and receive the Bolt Boat Schema Stone from the Steward Construct before you leave.

Fast travel to Gatakis Shrine in Rito Village for the chasm.

Find Rito Village Chasm

Walk southeast from the shrine and drop down the cliff. A man by a campfire should be on the ledge below. Talk to him and he will point you the chasm, which is right beneath your position.

Enter through the opening and dive down the Rito Village Chasm.

How to Get to the Hebra Mountain Depths

The entrance to the Hebra Chasm that leads to the Hebra Mountain Depths is just a short walk east from Gatakis Shrine in Rito Village. Look down upon reaching the cliff and you will spot a man next to a campfire.

You can talk to him and he will point out that the Hebra Chasm entrance is just below your position, through a hole on the cliff. Glide down and enter through the opening to find the chasm.

Activate Sikatag Lightroot

From the chasm, glide west first and activate Sikatag Lightroot to light up the area.

Enter the Last Master Kohga Fight

Now, go back to the mine and approach the meditating Master Kohga at the center. Witness the Yiga Clan's ultimate weapon(?)!

Defeating Master Kohga in this fight rewards you with yet another Huge Crystallized Charge and a Diamond!

The nearby Steward Construct will also give you the Rocket Platform Schema Stone.

How to Beat Master Kohga

How to Beat Master Kohga (2nd Fight)

Shoot Him With an Eyeball-Fused Arrow

Unless you're really good at shooting moving targets from below, we recommend using arrows fused with Keese Eyeball to make them home at Master Kohga.

A single arrow hit is enough to knock Master Kohga off his plane. Unleash your attacks until he recovers, and repeat.

How to Beat Master Kohga (3rd Fight)

Hop on to His Raft

As soon as the fight starts, take one of the makeshift jet skis by the dock and charge at Master Kohga's raft. Circle around Master Kohga to dodge the arrows from the Yiga Footsoldiers as you close in.

Once the raft is within reach, jump and quickly use your bow to slow time then shoot all three of them. You can also just hop on and attack them with a melee weapon.

Master Kohga will be stunned upon taking a hit, leaving him open for your attacks. Repeat until he concedes.

How to Beat Master Kohga (4th Fight)

Immobilize the Mech Then Shoot Master Kohga

Unlike before, Master Kohga won't get knocked off with a single arrow hit. You'll have to immobilize his mech first by attacking it (or Kohga himself) before shooting him down.

Drive Him to the Barbed Wires

Another way to immobilize his mech is by attacking it near the barbed wires enclosing the arena. This can cause the mech to be pushed towards the wires and get immobilized, immediately dropping Master Kohga for your follow up attacks.
