Once you engage with her, you'll witness the emergence of Molduga from beneath the ground. This extraordinary creature can swiftly maneuvere underground and launch powerful attacks from below. Its speed makes aiming quite challenging, but you can employ arrows equipped with Flower Bombs for optimal outcomes.

The timing of Molduga's movements can complicate matters if you decide to charge, so it is recommended that you strategize, position yourself carefully, and then execute your attacks. Utilize Flower Bombs repeatedly against Molduga to inflict substantial damage. Additionally, any projectile with a fiery element will be effective.
