How to beat Vocavor in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

Knowing how to beat Vocavor in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is essential for successfully navigating the Jabul Ruins Dungeon within the rift you enter after defeating Lord Jabu-Jabu.

To survive this boss encounter, you’ll need to focus on dodging Vocavor’s attacks while utilizing your swimming abilities to position yourself for effective strikes. It’s advisable to prepare by crafting and consuming swim speed-boosting smoothies before facing Vocavor.

When you’re set, let’s dive into how to defeat Vocavor in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

How to Beat Vocavor

To take down Vocavor, you must target the blue bumps on its back to flip it over, exposing its soft belly. You will encounter this boss in three distinct phases.

Phase One

In this initial phase, Vocavor will unleash whirlwinds. Instead of generating a single large whirlwind, it will create multiple smaller ones that can be dodged by anticipating their direction. Keep moving to avoid these attacks.

As you evade the whirlwinds, approach Vocavor and transform into Swordfighter form to strike the bright blue bumpy area on its back. After successfully landing a hit, Vocavor will flip over, exposing its belly. Remain in Swordfighter form and attack as much as possible until it rights itself.

Phase Two

Once Vocavor recovers, it will switch sides and move to the right. If you’re quick, you can summon a Chompfin Echo to attack before Vocavor can react. Hit the bumpy spot on its back again to flip it over and continue your assault on its belly while in Swordfighter form.

Phase Three

In the final phase, much of the water in the arena will drain, and Vocavor will adapt to its new environment. It will execute a dangerous backflip attack that can deal significant damage, so staying far away is your best defense.

Vocavor will retain its previous attack patterns while adding a new one: a larger whirlwind at the end of its whirlwind attack sequence. When this large whirlwind appears, swim either above or below it to avoid damage. This moment of vulnerability is your opportunity to strike the bumpy spot on its back once more.

When Vocavor exposes its belly again, unleash your attacks in Swordfighter form. After it gets back up, expect its attacks to be faster and more powerful, making dodging crucial. Once more, target the blue bumpy area on its back to flip it over and reveal its soft belly.

Continue your assault until Vocavor is defeated, and you’ll earn a Heart Container for your efforts.
