How to beat Vocavor, the Jabul Ruins boss

Head into the boss area and drop into the gap to be greeted by that atrocious shrimp enemy you saw before. Vocavor’s weak spots are those bumps on its back. It has respective attack patterns in phase one:

• Vocavor arches its back and gets ready to charge at Zelda. usage a chompfin to charge its back during this for any free damage.

Once all of its back bumps have been popped (yuck), Vocavor will slouch over, allowing you to get any free hits on its exposed back. After getting in any good hits, phase two will begin and any of the water will drain out of the room.

Vocavor will proceed its attacks from phase 1 while besides throwing in any fresh stuff:

• Vocavor summons a tornado half the tallness of the arena. After firing this off, it’ll flip around in exhaustion with its back facing a different direction. Strike them rapidly to open it to more attacks.
• Vocavor swims around the arena. As it swims through the bottom condition of the map, you can attack its back from above for any free hits.

Every time you break the bumps on its back, it’ll drop a fewer hearts to aid you in recovery. If you’re struggling to get hits in, utilizing flying enemies like crows aid attack its back erstwhile it’s out of water and out of scope and your trusty Chompfin Echo will aid a ton erstwhile Vocavor is in the water.

Once it’s down, Tri’s friends will return, Jabul Waters will return back to normal, and you can catch your Heart Container and leave.

Depending on if you did this dungeon first or second, you’ll either request to head to Gerudo Valley or back to Lueberry’s workshop (and then Hyrule Castle).
