“Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief” is a Chapter 2 battle opened by Road to the Ancient Lab. Gerudo soldiers attack Zelda’s party on the way into Gerudo Town because a Yiga impostor has taken Urbosa’s place. You break into town, expose the impostor, lure a Molduga with loud attacks, capture the Yiga outposts and finish with Master Kohga. Urbosa becomes playable in the middle of the battle.

Before you start

The recommended level is 5. You start with Link, Impa and Zelda, and Urbosa joins you in town. Bring your best weapons for Link and Impa and a meal with a damage bonus for Master Kohga. The four champion battles can be played in any order, but The Yiga Clan Attacks! needs all four cleared.

Approaching Gerudo Town

Gerudo Captains at the south entrance

The first goal is to approach the town from the south, because going straight at the front is too hard. Fight through the soldiers on the way and take down the Electric Wizzrobe that appears on the dunes.

Near the entrance the Yiga spring a trap and a new objective, Defeat the Gerudo Captain that appeared (0/2), asks you to defeat both Gerudo Captains. Dodge their attacks and hit back between combos. When both fall, the gates open and Zelda tells everyone to go to Gerudo Town.

Inside Gerudo Town

Fighting through the streets

A Capture the Outposts objective appears at the gate, but push through the Yiga soldiers on the stairs toward the palace first; the outposts come later. A cutscene exposes the false Urbosa as Master Kohga, and the real Urbosa appears. A message tells you that you can now play as Urbosa.

Defeat the Yiga Blademasters

Retake the town by defeating the three Yiga Blademasters outside. Urbosa’s attacks charge a lightning gauge, so keep attacking to fill it, then use it. Fight each Blademaster on its own and defeat all three. A success message confirms that the town is secured.

Luring the Molduga

Head for the targeted position. Urbosa explains that a beast in the northern desert will scare off the Yiga if it is stirred up, so the objective becomes Defeat the enemies with a loud attack, then Defeat the Yiga Clan using Remote Bombs. Use Remote Bombs on the Yiga with the Sheikah Slate rune button, then detonate them. Once the noise is loud enough the Molduga appears and the Yiga flee.

As you cross the northern sand, a Yiga Footsoldier shouts that the Molduga is coming. Expect the Molduga and the Yiga to attack together, and clear the Yiga around it.

Capturing the Yiga outposts

Zelda tells everyone to encircle the enemy, and a Capture the Outposts objective appears. Split up, take one outpost, change character and take the next. Gerudo Captains arrive to help, and Yiga Blademasters keep appearing near the outposts. Capture all of them and the enemy opens the gates.

Master Kohga boss fight

Defeat Master Kohga at the marked location. Partway through the fight he creates a copy of himself, so keep your lock-on on the real one with the boss health bar and ignore the double where you can.

Dodge his big attacks, then strike while he recovers. Use Urbosa’s lightning for damage and Weak-Point Smashes when a gauge appears. When the fight ends in a cutscene, Kohga orders a retreat (“Forget these cowards. It’s time to retreat.”), the Yiga pull back across the sand, and the battle ends.

Master Kohga by a rock pillar says Forget these cowards. It's time to retreat.

Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief Korok Seeds

There are 9 Korok Seeds in this battle. Several are reached before the town opens, so grab them as you go.
