Gohma Queen is the first boss character that you will come across in the game Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. You will find this spider enemy in the Great Deku Tree and will have to beat her with timing and fast attacks. Though the boss battle isn’t difficult, knowledge about using the Slingshot can help a lot. Here’s how to defeat Queen Gohma and take advantage of a simple trick to finish the fight faster.
How To Defeat Queen Gohma
Queen Gohma is one of the first bosses you’ll face while playing Ocarina of Time. She is found in the Great Deku Tree. Although the boss fight isn’t that hard, there is a little trick which will help you defeat her more easily. As soon as the battle starts, you should wait until Gohma attacks you. Before she does, she lowers her defences and reveals her giant eye, which is located on her head. You just need to take out your Slingshot and shoot a Deku seed right into her eye. You can use ZL targeting here.
This will stun Gohma and leave her open to sword attacks. Run up to her and hit her as many times as possible before she gets back up. Once she recovers, move away and prepare to repeat the same strategy.
Second Phase
Once Gohma takes enough damage, she will move up and rest on the ceiling. That’s when you get the opportunity to use an easy trick that will help you win the battle. Instead of waiting until Gohma drops some eggs, you should manually aim your Slingshot and shoot her eye.
If you hit her at the right moment, she will drop straight down onto the floor and will be once again vulnerable to your sword strikes. That way, you don’t have to deal with her eggs. However, there’s no need to panic if you fail your shot, because Gohma will drop many eggs, which you should destroy immediately. Otherwise, they will hatch and become Gohma Larvae, who will help her in the battle.
The rest of the fight is no different. Just wait for Gohma to show her eye, stun her with your Slingshot, then stab her with your sword. Repeat this until she is finally defeated. After defeating Queen Gohma, take your Heart Container, then head outside the room. You will be back with the Great Deku Tree, and make sure to listen to what he says.
