Defeat All Monsters in the Village Help them Rebuild the Village

Defeat All Monsters in the Village

The village is currently infested with monsters, acting like pirates. Defeat all of them and take the village back to the rightful owners!

Note that there are also monsters on the ship and in the well!

Drown the Bokoblins

Bokoblins don't know how to swim, including the Boss Bokoblin on the ship. Use that to your advantage and knock them on the sea to drown them. You can use Two-Handed Weapons or explosives like, Bomb Flowers to push them easily.

Use Muddle Bud to Create Chaos

Muddle Buds can cause monsters to attack everyone on sight, even if they are friendlies. Hit them with Muddle Buds and make them fight each other. You can also join the fight to defeat them faster.

Muddle Buds are commonly found in the Depths!

Fight Them One at a Time

Getting swarmed by multiple monsters at once is the worst thing that can happen. Try to keep some distance from other enemies and pick them off one at a time to avoid getting surrounded and killed.

If you have the Vow of Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, Sidon, or Mineru, you can summon them to help you deal with the monsters in the village!

Help them Rebuild the Village

It's time to restore the village back to its former glory. Talk to Bolson and help them rebuilding the village!
