Master Kohga: Difference between revisions

The fight against Master Kohga consists of three phases, each of which utilize his control over magnetism and levitation. In the first phase, Master Kohga conjures up a rock above him to hurl at Link. Striking Master Kohga from afar as he levitates in the air, such as with a [[Bow]], [[Remote Bomb]] or thrown [[Weapon]], will break his focus and cause the rock to fall on his head. This temporarily stuns Master Kohga, partially burying him in the ground and allowing Link to attack him unopposed. In the second phase, he levitates above the large pit nearby and conjures up two rocks that spin around him. Link must hit Master Kohga when one of the rocks is directly above his head, causing it to once again fall on his head and stun him. In the third and final phase, he conjures up a fortified boulder to attempt to crush Link. Link must use [[Magnesis]] to gain control of the boulder and push it back towards Kohga. This will stun Kohga once again and give Link the opportunity to finish the fight. In all phases, he is protected by a blue shield which disappears when he goes offensive in the first two stages, but remains permanently during the third. [[Ancient Arrow]]s act like normal arrows when he is hit with one, and Master Kohga and his boulders cannot be stopped with [[Stasis]] at any time. He is notable the only Sheikah to display this, as even [[Maz Koshia]] can be placed under Stasis.

{{Term|Series|Master Kohga}} retroactively debuts in {{HWAoC}}, first disguising himself as [[Urbosa]] to try and turn the Gerudo against Zelda, but is zapped by the real Urbosa. He is later defeated, but is saved by [[Sooga]] at the last minute.<ref>{{Cite|Sooga, you're late! I nearly got peeled like a banana!|Master Kohga|HWAoC}}</ref> He is later shown working alongside [[Astor]] as he explains about Ganon's [[Harbinger Ganon|Harbinger form]], and the role the Demon King will play in due time.  

Later, after Ganon awakens on Zelda's 17th birthday, and the Blight Ganons are stopped from killing the Champions like they were supposed to in ''Breath of the Wild'', he objects to Astor harvesting souls from his men to revive the Blight Ganons, and is almost killed himself by a Hollow of Link, but Sooga intervenes and tells him to run, stating that he would give his life to protect him. Kohga ultimately chooses to stay and fight alongside him. The outcome of the battle is unknown, but is implied that Sooga was killed. After Zelda has awakened her power and rallies the Hylians, he sheds his Hyrulean Soldier disguise and bows before Zelda, joining the Hyrulean forces in order to avenge his betrayed clan.
