Defeating Mucktorok the Water Temple Boss
Prince Sidon’s power of defensive water shield will be helpful for building a path to Mucktorok. The attack strategy is simple. First, you should clear the area with Sidon’s water power using a simple sword. If you use a heavy sword it takes forever to swing leaving you defenseless. Then use your most powerful bow, which should be the Royal Guard’s Bow to attack with attached Splash Fruit. Once you hit the Shell Shark enough times, Mucktorok will come out. Jumping in the air will slow things down but best if you hit him with an arrow and Dazzlefruit first. Once he is open, simple knock him down with your bow and any addons you have that counter water. Fire, Ice and Lightning addons to arrows work well. I’d recommend you jump while Mucktorok is down since it will allow you to fire off tons of arrows consecutively at it.
Learning More About the Mucktorok & Its Shark Shell
Mucktorok has the ability to build a shark shell that can swim through sludge. The Shark can shoot a beam out, through sludge in the air and attack you directly with a sludge wave that is difficult to defend against. The Sludge wave can be blasted thorough with a arrow and an addon Splash fruit. The attacks from above can be avoid by moving. The Shark Beam can be jumped over with the awesome low gravity. Avoid being too close to the shark for direct attacks, this is definitely a bow fight.
