How to Defeat Morpha
- Use the Hookshot to pull out the core and attack
└Cornering it at the edge of the room lets you finish it without it retreating into the water - Watch out — tentacle attacks deal heavy damage
- In the second phase, the number of tentacles increases to two
When fighting Morpha in Ocarina of Time, use the Hookshot to pull out the core and attack. The attacks hit hard, but there is only one attack pattern, so the basic strategy is to keep your distance and wait for the core to emerge.
Use the Hookshot to Pull Out the Core and Attack
Morpha can only be damaged when its core is moving around outside the water. When the core approaches through a tentacle, pull it out with the Hookshot and slash it with your sword.
Cornering It at the Edge of the Room Lets You Finish It Off Without It Retreating
Normally, when you pull Morpha's core out with the Hookshot, it will retreat back into the water. Pull the core out near a corner of the room and use the Hookshot and sword attacks to drive it into the corner so the core can no longer escape back into the water.
Watch Out — Tentacle Attacks Deal Heavy Damage
When Morpha's tentacle attack connects, you get grabbed and dragged into the water. The damage is also significant, so be careful. Since the only attack pattern is the tentacle attack, the safe approach is to keep your distance, wait for the core to appear, and hit it with the Hookshot at maximum range.
Second Phase: Tentacle Count Increases to Two
When Morpha's HP drops, it increases the number of tentacles to two. The attack pattern does not change, so keep the same strategy while watching out for the additional tentacle.
