TotK Marbled Gohma: How to Beat It, HP, Weak Spot, Rematches
How to beat Marbled Gohma, the Fire Temple boss in Tears of the Kingdom: breaking its legs, the eye, the ceiling phase, exploding rocks and three Depths rematches.
Marbled Gohma is the boss of the Fire Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the last fight of the main quest Yunobo of Goron City. Its only weak spot is the single eye on top of its body, and you need Yunobo’s charge to knock it down far enough to reach it. This page covers the weak spot, both phases, what you get for winning, and the three Depths rematches. The temple itself is on the Fire Temple walkthrough, and all five bosses are compared on the temple bosses overview.
What kind of boss is Marbled Gohma?
Its health bar calls it the “Scourge of the Fire Temple”. The Hyrule Compendium describes it like this: “The culprit behind marbled rock roast, who produced it and brought it to the Eldin region. It uses its rock-covered legs to execute devastating attacks. The eyeball on its head may look vulnerable, but good luck reaching it atop this creature’s massive body.”
How do you start the Marbled Gohma fight?
The Fire Temple’s gate has five locks, each tied to a gong that opens it when Yunobo rams it. With all five open, head into the depths of the temple, where Marbled Gohma waits. Where the gongs are and how to reach them is on the Fire Temple walkthrough.
The temple is in the Depths below Death Mountain and you catch fire without flame protection, so wear the Flamebreaker set or another source of flame guard.
How much HP does Marbled Gohma have?
Its base HP is 800. Reportedly it gains HP for every temple boss you have already beaten: 800 if the Fire Temple is your first, then 1,200, 1,600 and 2,000, and 2,400 if you leave it for last. If you want an easier fight, do the Fire Temple first. All five bosses’ numbers are on the temple bosses overview.
How do you beat phase 1?
- Break the legs. Ram its legs with Yunobo’s charge. After two break, the whole body collapses and Yunobo tells you to climb on.
- Climb on and hit the eye. Climb onto it and hit the eye on top with your strongest melee weapon.
- Watch the rocks. It throws down rock balls that explode after a moment. Get away from them, or knock them away first with Yunobo’s charge.
How do you beat phase 2?
At half health, Marbled Gohma climbs up onto the ceiling.
- Knock it down: launch Yunobo up the curved walls of the arena into it, or shoot arrows fused with a Keese Eyeball or Aerocuda Eyeball, which home in on its eye. Once it falls, climb on and hit the eye as in phase 1.
- When the rocks surround you: from the ceiling it drops a ring of rocks around you. Before they go off, send one away with Recall (or have Yunobo smash it) and run out through the gap.
How does Yunobo’s ability help?
This fight runs on Yunobo’s Power of Fire: Yunobo curls into a ball and charges forward. Use it to break Marbled Gohma’s legs and smash its rocks, and in phase 2 to send him up the curved walls to the ceiling. The other sages’ abilities are on the sages page.
What do you get for beating Marbled Gohma?
- Heart Container
- Vow of Yunobo, Sage of Fire: from then on you can summon Yunobo’s avatar and use his charge at any time.
Marbled Gohma drops no materials in the temple.
Where can you fight Marbled Gohma again in the Depths, and does it respawn?
After you beat Marbled Gohma in the Fire Temple, three more appear in the Depths with the title “Scourge of the Depths”. These arenas have no curved walls, so it never climbs onto a ceiling and the whole fight plays out like phase 1. Reportedly the Depths version has 2,000 HP.
- Respawn: it comes back after a Blood Moon, so you can fight it again and again.
- Drop: every win drops a Marbled Gohma Leg, which you can fuse to a weapon.
- Chest: a treasure chest wrapped in Gloom sits in the arena and opens once it is beaten. It holds a Huge Crystallized Charge and can only be opened once.
The closest Lightroots: Muzasu Lightroot below Tamio River, Uasnoj Lightroot below Linebeck Island, and Takaruk Lightroot below Quatta’s Shelf. Lighting the Lightroot first makes the arena far easier to find; getting around down there is covered in the Depths guide.
