Vocavor Boss Guide: Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

The Jabul Waters Rift (or Zora Temple) is one of the dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and it features a boss fight.

Vocavor, a large, snail-like sea creature, is the boss of the Zora Temple.

Vocavor Fight Summary

To reach Vocavor, you need to complete all the puzzles in the Zora Temple and obtain the Big Key to open the door leading to its sanctuary.

Vocavor is the same creature that creates whirlwinds in another part of the dungeon. This fight is not too difficult, and you can defeat Vocavor by moving across the water and hopping between floating platforms.

Strategies for Defeating Vocavor

The fight begins with Vocavor swimming away and creating whirlpools in a predictable pattern. You need to swim between the whirlpools until Vocavor becomes exhausted.

When Vocavor is exhausted, you should transform Zelda into her Swordfighter form and attack the blue sacks on its back. Once you inflict enough damage, the sacks will disappear, and you can collect hearts to restore health.

If you are not fast enough, Vocavor will swim away and send purple projectiles towards you.

To avoid these, quickly swim beneath one of the two platforms on either side of the arena. They will explode eventually, but so long as you’ve closed enough distance, you’re safe. Vocavor will now head back to his original position and start to release yet another series of whirlpools.

Vocavor’s first phase will repeat until you have destroyed his weak points entirely for the first time, after which he’ll let out a difficult to avoid spin attack. If you have enough health reserves and healing items, it is possible to tank his next few attacks and follow him across the room and slice away at his back before he’s able to retaliate. Then things will begin to get a little more interesting.

His next phase begins as he evaporates specific sections of water from the arena, meaning Zelda will now be walking on dry land and unable to reach Vocavor in certain areas. This will make things a little more complicated, but with the right moves, it’s easy to overcome.

Equip the Water Block echo and use that to make a path between the segmented bodies of liquid and Vocavor, which if done right, will allow you to jump directly onto his back and slice away at his weak point. You could build platforms out of random objects or get airborne echo to deal damage, but there is too high a chance of them getting destroyed in the chaos.

When Vocavor starts unleashing a series of whirlwinds, remain inside the pillars of water and keep on swimming up and down to avoid them. Eventually, he will unleash a much larger one before tiring himself out. Now is your chance to jump out of the water and begin slicing away from below.

Once enough time has passed, Vocavor will swim back over to the other side and repeat this pattern. Much like before, avoid the whirlpools and wait until he gets tired before you attack. Keep this up and Vocavor will eventually kick the bucket and the trapped Echoes will be free.

Rewards for Beating Vocavor

As is the tradition with major dungeon bosses in Zelda games, a full piece of heart will be earned, which will increase your total number of hearts by one and restore all your health. Tri levels up too and can now summon one additional echo.
