Head Towards the Direction of the Smoke

Approaching the Toruma Dunes, you will see smoke rising on the horizon. Head towards the direction of the smoke.

Approach Slowly

As you get near the area where the smoke is coming from, you will notice a disturbance in the sand surrounding it. It's the sign of the infamous Molduga!

Press L () to crouch while walking to prevent it from detecting you.

Climb to Mound

You will find a person stranded on top of the rock formation. Terrified of the lurking monster, she seems to be unable to move from her spot.

Fight the Molduga

Help the stranded person by getting rid of the Molduga!

Use Arrows to Lure Molduga

Shoot some arrows in front of or near the Molduga. This will trick it into thinking that there is movement in that area, which will make it rise up from the sands.

Attach Explosives to Your Arrows

Attach explosives, such as Bomb Flowers, to your arrows and wait for the opportune moment. Once the Molduga rises up, immediately shoot your explosive arrows before it finds its way beneath the sands again.

Attack the Molduga Once It's Down

It's best to follow up with melee attacks on the Molduga's belly if you manage to fish it out of the sand. Make sure to return to your vantage point once you see signs that it's starting to get up.

How to Beat Molduga

Use Riju's Lightning

You can use Riju's Lightning as an alternative to the explosives fused on your arrows. In some instances, the Molduga will also show its back while still moving around the sands; use this opportunity to strike it with Riju's Lightning.

Speak with the Stranded Person

The stranded person turns out to be Isha, the legendary blacksmith and jewelry shop owner of Gerudo Town. As a form of thanks for defeating the Molduga, she asks that you see her in Gerudo Town to craft you something special.

Return to Gerudo Town

Head back to Gerudo Town's jewelry shop and talk to Cara and Isha. Receive your reward for returning the shop owner safe and sound!
