Boss Strategy
First Battle
Master Kohga will appear and a battle will ensue. Move to the side to avoid Kohga's vehicle and then shoot him with an arrow. While he's stunned, run over and slash away with a weapon. As Kohga begins to lose some of his health, he'll add more objects to his vehicle, making it harder for Link to attack him. First he'll add a guard to the front, and then ones to the sides. Keep battling until he is defeated. Kohga will flee, mentioned that he is off to the Southwestern Abandoned Mine. This will begin the Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan adventure.
As a reward for beating Kohga, a treasure chest will appear containing a Huge Crystallized Charge. Speak with the adjacent Steward Construct to acquire the Schema Stone, which contains the design for a Fanplane.
Second Battle
Master Kohga can be seen placing his right hand against he Pedestal, trying to replicate what Link previously did. This will trigger the boss battle with Master Kohga. Like the Yiga clansman before, Master Kohga will ride along on a Wing and launch attacks at Link. Use an Arrow attached with a Keese Eyeball to knock him down and then run over to deliver some sword slashes.
After Master Kohga has taken some damage, he'll start building on his Wing, giving him more protection and making him immune to frontal attacks. Find the Spring that is at the battlefield. Use it to launch Link up in the arrow and then shoot Kohga down. Repeat this same process until Master Kohga has been defeated. Master Kohga will then take off, heading east to the Abandoned Lanayru Mine. Link can open the nearby chest to get a Huge Crystallized Charge, and the nearby Steward Construct will give Link a Schema Stone for a Hovercraft.
Third Battle
In this battle, Master Kohga is 80% resistant to Beam Emitter damage.
Master Kohga will ride around on a raft with two Yiga Footsoldiers along his side. The Soldiers will shoot Arrows at Link when he draws near. Link can jump into a motorized raft as well and give chase. Link can hit Master Kohga with an arrow to stun him and then quickly ride over with his boat. Link can deliver a few hits, but eventually Master Kohga will warp away. To make things easier, Link can attach a Keese Eyeball, or even a Bomb Flower to an arrow to deal more damage.
After Master Kohga has taken some damage, he'll begin holding a shield out in front of him. Bomb Flowers will blast right through these shields. When he takes even more damage, he'll almost completely cover himself with shields. Link can ride his boat right up to the Yiga and fight them with his sword.
After defeating Master Kohga, he will once again flee, this time to the Abandoned Hebra Mine. A treasure chest will appear, containing a Huge Crystallized Charge and a nearby Steward Construct offering Link a Schema Stone for a Bolt Boat.
Final Battle
In this battle, Master Kohga is 80% resistant to Beam Emitter damage.
Here Link will encounter Master Kohga for the fourth and final time. This time he can be found riding on top of a Zonai Construct, Kohga's gift to the Demon King. The battlefield is surrounded by barbed wire. Link can hit Kohga directly to knock him down, or alterantively, he can attack the construct direct. One strategy is to attack the construct so that it is hit back into the barbed wire. To do this, wait for it to attack and perofmr a Perfect Dodge. After a few hits from a Flurry Rush, the construct will be knocked back. When it is close enough to the barbed wire, it will be knocked back into it, sending Master Kohga down to the ground where Link can then deal damage.
Master Kohga has a lot of health here, so it is a good idea to come with strong, Fused Weapons, as well as food or an elixir that gives an Attack Up boost. Repeat this same process until Master Kohga has taken notable damage. In the next phase, Master Kohga will once again surround himself in a wall of protection. The Construct will also send out a fire-attack from its two arms. Just immediately run forward and strike him repeatedly to knock him back into the barbed wire. Repeat this process unto Master Kohga is defeated once and for all.
Once Kohga is defeated, a pair of treasure chests appear, containing a Huge Crystallized Charge and a Diamond. The nearby Steward Construct will give Link a Schema Stone for a Rocket Platform.
