Gohma Boss Guide

How to Beat Gohma

Grapple Valoo's Tail Thrice

pulling Valoo

Before you can actually hurt Gohma, you must break his protective shell first. To do this, you must use the Grappling Hook on Valoo's tail hanging from the ceiling and safely swing back down. This will cause the rock around the tail to drop on Gohma and crack its shell.

Dropping the rock three times will completely remove Gohma's shell and make it vulnerable.

Pull Gohma's Eye Once the Shell is Broken

Gohma pulled to the ground

You will now be able to pull Gohma's eye directly once its shell is gone. Lock on to Gohma's eye while holding the Grappling Hook and throw it to slam Gohma's head into the platform. Attack its eye while it's down and repeat until the boss is defeated.

Gohma Location

Dragon Roost Cavern Dungeon

Gohma is the first dungeon boss that you will encounter and is the boss of Dragon Roost Cavern, a dungeon only accessible by going to Dragon Roost Island and following its part in the main story. Both the island and the dungeon are located in the F2 square of your Sea Chart.
