To Southwestern Abandoned Mine

After defeating Master Kohga in the Great Abandoned Central Mine, players must make their way to the Abandoned Gerudo Mine (-3832, -2903, -0487). Here is a route that fans can use to reach this location, and they should approach Master Kohga upon arrival:

  • Enter East Gerudo Chasm at -2490, -3035, 0092, south of Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower.
  • Go south to Amakawis Lightroot at -2439, -3343, -0465.
  • Go northwest to Mihcihc Lightroot at -3211, -3005, -0470.
  • Go west to Gonatoyros Lightroot at -3882, -2963, -0434.

Fight Master Kohga in Southwestern Abandoned Mine

To beat Master Kohga in the Southwestern Abandoned Mine, players must hit the enemy with arrows, in order to knock him from his glider, and then unleash barrages of melee attacks when he is on the ground. The hardest part of this process is landing the arrow strikes, though fans can minimize the difficulty by using the spring that is in the arena. Indeed, fans can temporarily slow down time by launching TotK's Link from the spring, gliding toward Master Kohga, and drawing a bow while airborne.

To Eastern Abandoned Mine

The Abandoned Lanayru Mine is the next point of interest, and Master Kohga can be found at 3304, 0555, -0750. Here is a route to that position, and players can stay on track by following the large Zora statues that are placed along the path:

  • Enter East Hill Chasm at 1946, -0841, 0164, northeast of Kakariko Village.
  • Go northeast to Takaruk Lightroot at 2360, -01510, -0589.
  • Go east to Kegopa Lightroot at 3886, -0215, -0608.
  • Go northwest to Kawagom Lightroot at 3298, 0419, -0749.

Fight Master Kohga in Eastern Abandoned Mine

This battle with Master Kohga takes place on the water, and players should commandeer one of the fan-powered crafts near the dock at 3324, 0525, -0750, approach the enemy's vessel, and hit him with an arrow. This will cause Kohga to become temporarily stunned, and fans should use that as an opportunity to board his craft and land some melee attacks. Players should then simply repeat this process, using any vessel that is available to them, until the foe is defeated.

To Abandoned Hebra Mine

Players must now set their sights on the Abandoned Hebra Mines, which can only be accessed by way of the Rito Village Chasm (-3584, 1784, 0124). To find this chasm, fans must enter a cave at -3600, 1761, 0135, and this Abandoned Hebra Mine guide will help them find it. After falling into the Rito Village Chasm, players should activate the nearby Sikatag Lightroot and then head east to -3466, 1859, -0416.

Fight Master Kohga in Abandoned Hebra Mine

It is now time to battle Master Kohga once more, and he will be using a construct for this fight. As with the other battles, this one centers around knocking the enemy from his machine, and there are a couple of ways that can be done. The first is to hit Kohga with an arrow, and players should consider using that strategy before the enemy gains a shield. The other is to knock the construct into the barbed wire that surrounds the arena, using something akin to a hammer in TotK.
