Colgera Boss Fight Strategy

Colgera is a gigantic icy creature that fights aerially. It has spikes behind it, which are resistant to attacks. However, it has an exposed underbelly that can be attacked. During the fight, you will be shooting in the air towards it.

Colgera swiftly flies in and out. Moreover, it shoots its spikes toward you and creates tornadoes for damage. As its health drops to its half, it becomes more lethal. Attacks become fatal, and movement is quicker. Use the following tactics to defeat it.

• Use the 14-damage bow along with the Aerocuda wing to give heavy damage. You can shoot consecutively twice also and hit the exposed part.
• Also, use fire and fruit-based materials if icy blasts are not available.
• You can attack the Colgera when it throws the icy spikes at you. During this time, the top part becomes vulnerable to attack.
• Also, shoot at the flat underbelly through fire arrows to melt the ice quicker.

After defeating Colgera, you get access to Rito Village, Vol of Tulin, Sage of Wind, and a heart container that increases the number of hearts you can possess. Moreover, you can call Tulin to join any battle and use his Gusts of Wind power and his horizontal boost ability for gliding. Another bonus you get is that the storm in Hebra Mountain comes to a halt so you can go there easily.
