[@CountessLunalescaAureus]

I kinda think it looks like a Gohma x Molgera hybrid. To stick with Molgera being a Wind Temple Boss too from the same game you mentioned.

[@talesofragnarok]

Just a correction that Medli was the Earth Sage and Makar was the Wind Sage (still a weird decision on Nintendo's part, though). But yeah, all of the callbacks to Wind Waker definitely put a smile on my face while doing this section of the game. 😸

I am so sorry for being nitpicking but Medli was NOT the Sage of wind and instead the Sage of earth. Makar the korok was the Sage of wind and is a reancarnation (probably since fado was kokiri and a child) of the wind Sage Fado. But either way, both sages are proud of that kiddo

Lol my entire time at first fighting the boss I had no clue you could arrows until I saw pointcrow do it

[@every116]

I didn't even know you could damage Colgera any other way until I went online. The entire trip from Mount Hebra up to the Ark is littered with platforms with ice on them that you have to crash through to break, those platforms are also important puzzle pieces on the Ark itself, so when Colgera shot those spikes in the air revealing a cracked icy interior my first thought was "I have to crash through that" and never even thought about damaging him any other way. It also made me realize that there probably isn't any boss scaling like there was in BOTW, you can't have Colgera scale upwards if the way you have to defeat him is so scripted.
