TotK Seized Construct: How to Beat It, HP, Mineru's Construct

The Seized Construct is the boss of the Spirit Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the last fight of the main quest Guidance from Ages Past. You do not fight it with your own weapons: you ride Mineru’s Construct into a head-on brawl, and almost all of the damage comes from the electric fence around the arena. This page covers how to stun it, both phases, and what you get for winning. Getting to the Spirit Temple and assembling Mineru’s Construct are on the Spirit Temple walkthrough, and all five bosses are compared on the temple bosses overview.

What kind of boss is the Seized Construct?

Its health bar calls it the “Scourge of the Spirit Temple”. The Hyrule Compendium describes it like this: “The construct that Mineru originally intended to house her spirit. It was changed into this ominous form by the magic power of the Demon King. Originally intended for construction, it is highly durable and able to withstand harsh conditions.”

How do you start the Seized Construct fight?

Recover the four parts for Mineru at the Construct Factory in the Depths, then ride Mineru’s Construct southeast, blast the rocks in the way with a cannon and fly up to the high gate with rockets to enter the Spirit Temple. The Seized Construct waits deeper inside. The full route is on the Spirit Temple walkthrough.

How much HP does the Seized Construct have?

The Seized Construct has 20,000 HP, and it does not change with how many temple bosses you have already beaten. Beam Emitters do only 20% damage to it. You are not meant to wear that down with weapons; most of the damage comes from knocking it into the fence.

How do you beat phase 1?

1. Ride Mineru’s Construct. Fight the whole battle from the construct. Its arms can carry all sorts of attachments; the spiked iron balls in the arena work well.

2. Stun it. One charged cannon shot stuns it for a few seconds. You can also raise your shield just before its swing lands to throw it off balance.

3. Hit it three times. While it is stunned, walk up and hit it three times. It flies back into the electric fence, and that is when it loses health. Your arms do not need anything attached for this, so knocking it into the fence comes first.

How do you beat phase 2?

At half health it opens two more attachment points, fits fans to its arms and hovers into the air, and it attacks more aggressively.

• Bring it down: when it flies, one charged cannon shot drops it and stuns it.
• Hit it four times: in phase 2 it takes four hits to knock it into the fence.
• Reportedly a Shock Emitter at close range also stuns it.

How does Mineru’s ability help?

This fight runs on Mineru’s Construct Abilities: Link can ride and control Mineru’s Construct and attach things to its arms and back. The cannons and spiked iron balls you put on its arms are your weapons in this fight. The other sages’ abilities are on the sages page.

What do you get for beating the Seized Construct?

• Heart Container
• Vow of Mineru, Sage of Spirit: from then on you can summon or dismiss Mineru’s Construct.

Can you fight the Seized Construct again in the Depths?

No. The other four temple bosses each have three Depths rematches, but the Seized Construct has none.
