The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

How to Climb Death Mountain

By
Jessica Dillon

Once you have brought Yunobo back to his senses, it’s time to chase after "Princess Zelda" iconPrincess Zelda. This means that you will need to head to Death Mountain. Getting to and climbing the mountain is rather easy thanks to the tracks that you can place minecarts on. You just need to know what tracks get you going. The guide below goes over how to climb up to the !Death Mountain Crater quickly and how to defeat Moragia in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom.

The road to Death Mountain in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom.

How to Climb Death Mountain Quickly

Once you exit the cave with Yunobo, take the cart that you used to get to YunoboCo HQ back up the rails. Once you are there, head to the rail track below, and place a rail cart on it. This track leads directly to !Death Mountain. You will notice that while riding a cart, you can use !Yunobo’s attack. You will need to do this to clear large rocks on the rail track. You will notice that when going up some parts of the track, the cart starts going slowly, don’t worry a single fan has enough power to make it up every track on your journey. Once you get off at the base of !Death Mountain, you will be in a Goron work zone. If you look in front of you, you should see the next track, go over and put a rail cart on it.

From here on out, you will need to make more use of !Yunobo’s ability. Not only is there a rock at the start of the track, but there will be enemies that attack you as you’re going up it. You can aim !Yunobo at them to knock them down or kill them if there are "Keese" iconKeese. The attack has a fast recharge time, so you don’t need to worry too much about using it too soon. Once you are about halfway up the mountain, the cart will stop at a platform with some "Black Bokoblin" iconBlack Bokoblin. Defeat them and grab the next cart. You will want to set it on the other side of the blockage and hop in to continue your journey. Like before, use !Yunobo to stop enemies and unblock the track from large rocks.

(1 of 5) Take the cart back from YunoboCo HQ.

How to Defeat Moragia on Top of Death Mountain

Once you get up to the top of !Death Mountain, hop out of the cart. Soon a cutscene will activate where Princess Zelda appears, and then a monster named Moragia appears from the !Death Mountain Crater. You won’t be able to fight the monster from the ground, but you will see Wings nearby that already have Fans, a Cart, Steering Stick, and extra "Energy Cell" iconEnergy Cells attached. Pull it out of the rock and set it upright, facing towards the cliff. Grab the steering wheel and drive it off the cliff to make the !Wings start flying. Luckily, it doesn’t have a battery level for you to worry about, so you can fly around freely in the air.

(1 of 4) Moragia will emerge from the Death Mountain opening.

!Yunobo will prepare for an attack on the tip of the !Wings. You will want to fly up to a comfortable area where you can shoot him at Moragia’s three heads. Each head can be taken down in a single hit, but you will need to dodge the rocks that it hurls at you from its mouths. This is rather simple to do, and you can use the dotted line to aim shots easily. Once again, Y!unobo has a fast recharge time, so don’t be afraid to miss a few shots. Once you hit the last head, the monster will dissolve, and !Death Mountain will open up. To progress in the story, jump into the Death Mountain Depths. This is where you will find the "Fire Temple" iconFire Temple.
