Head Towards the Direction of the Smoke

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Approaching the Jewelry Shop Owner

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

Approach Slowly

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Approaching the Molduga

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 (NSW - Left Analog Click) to crouch while walking to prevent it from detecting you.

Climb to Mound

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Climbing to a Vantage Point

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

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Fighting the Molduga

Help the stranded person by getting rid of the Molduga!

Use Arrows to Lure Molduga

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Shooting the 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

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Using Bomb Arrows on the Molduga
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

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Attacking the Molduga
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

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Using Riju
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.

How to Use Vow of Riju, Sage of Lightning

Speak with the Stranded Person

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom TotK Talking to the Jewelry Shop Owner

Return to Gerudo Town
