The fight against {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga}} consists of three phases, each of which utilizes his control over magnetism and levitation. In the first phase, {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga}} conjures up a rock above him to hurl at {{Term|BotW|Link}}. Striking {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga}} from afar as he levitates in the air, such as with a {{Term|BotW|Bow|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Remote Bomb|link}} or thrown {{Term|BotW|Weapon|link}}, will break his focus and cause the rock to fall on his head. This temporarily stuns {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga}}, partially burying him in the ground and allowing {{Term|BotW|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. {{Term|BotW|Link}} must hit {{Term|BotW|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 {{Term|BotW|Link}}. {{Term|BotW|Link}} must use {{Term|BotW|Magnesis|link}} to gain control of the boulder and push it back towards {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga|display=Kohga}}. This will stun {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga|display=Kohga}} once again and give {{Term|BotW|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. {{Plural|BotW|Ancient Arrow|link}} act like normal arrows when {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga}} is hit with one, and he and his boulders cannot be stopped with {{Term|BotW|Stasis|link}} at any time. He is the only notable {{Term|BotW|Sheikah}} to display this, as even {{Term|BotW|Maz Koshia|link}} can be placed under {{Term|BotW|Stasis}}. Master Kohga is also the only enemy that's immune to {{Term|BotW|Urbosa's Fury|link}}, and takes only 10% of the normal damage done by any attack. | The fight against {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga}} consists of three phases, each of which utilizes his control over magnetism and levitation.

{{Term|TotK|Master Kohga}} somehow survived his fall down the pit at the {{Term|TotK|Yiga Clan Hideout|link}} to find himself in the {{Term|TotK|Depths|link}}, and has since been plotting his revenge against {{Term|TotK|Link|link}}. He plans to use {{Term|TotK|Zonai Technology|link}} to create weapons that will win him favor with {{Term|TotK|Ganondorf|link}}.{{Fact}} He is first found in the {{Term|TotK|Great Abandoned Central Mine|link}} in the {{Term|TotK|Central Hyrule Depths|link}} after {{Term|TotK|Link}} receives {{Term|TotK|Autobuild|link}}, and he will challenge {{Term|TotK|Link}} to a fight so he can have it for himself. | |||
In his first battle, {{Term|TotK|Master Kohga}} deploys a buggy with a spiked ram while attempting to drop {{Plural|TotK|Boulder|link}} on Link. Shooting {{Term|TotK|Master Kohga}} will eject him from the buggy and bury him in the ground. {{Term|TotK|Link}} can then attack with impunity until he recovers. Additionally, his {{Plural|TotK|Boulder}} can be sent back at him with {{Term|TotK|Recall|link}}. He will eventually add a set of wood panels that prevent him from being hit from the front and the side, but he remains vulnerable from behind. At low health, he will add a pair of {{Plural|TotK|Rocket|link}} that will allow him to charge at high speed, but this can be turned against him by getting him to charge into a wall. | |||
In his second fight, {{Term|TotK|Master Kohga}} employs an airplane with {{Plural|TotK|Flame Emitter|link}} on its underside, which he will try and attack {{Term|TotK|Link}} with. These will later be replaced with a far more dangerous {{Term|TotK|Cannon|link}}. The arena contains an array of {{Plural|TotK|Zonai Device|link}} that will allow {{Term|TotK|Link}} to gain enough altitude to shoot {{Term|TotK|Master Kohga}} off his {{Term|TotK|Vehicle}}. At low health, he will project a screen that will block frontal shots. | |||
In his third fight, {{Term|TotK|Master Kohga}} attacks {{Term|TotK|Link}} from a {{Term|TotK|Headlight Raft|link}}, aided by two {{Plural|TotK|Yiga Footsoldier|link}} with {{Plural|TotK|Duplex Bow|link}}. Several {{Plural|TotK|Vehicle}} in the nearby area will allow {{Term|TotK|Link}} to close the distance with {{Term|TotK|Master Kohga}} and strike. At low health, he will begin throwing {{Plural|TotK|Boulder}} and project his energy screen. | |||
