Masked Mechanical Monster: Goht (ゴート, Gouto) is the second boss in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, located in the Snowhead Temple. He is a giant mechanical bull who is, at the beginning of the boss battle, frozen in a giant block of ice. It is his influence and curse that is causing the abnormally cold winter at Snowhead, and this in turn threatens the lives of the native Gorons living there. Goht must be defeated in order for Spring to come and life to be restored at Snowhead.
Strategy
You will face him in a ring shaped stage. To fight him, you must use your Fire Arrows and shoot one at him. He will thaw, come to life, explode out of his restraints, and start charging around the stadium-like room in an attempt to trample you. Put on your Goron Mask and start to roll around the stadium and hit Goht when your spikes appear after a time. Conveniently enough, there are Magic Jars around the room so if you need more magic, simply roll through a jar to get the magic and continue rolling. You may also knock Goht down if you jump on him after going through one ramp. He will eventually regain his composure and get up, and when he does, start rolling again. When rolling around as Goron Link be careful as Goht will begin to throw rocks at you. Every time you hit him, he will shoot a somewhat difficult to dodge ball of electricity, that homes in on you. After some hits stalactites, will fall from the roof. When he is about to die, Goht will throw some bombs at you. Watch out for a lightning blast that he will throw at you if you get too far from him; you should try to avoid it at all costs. You will know if he is being damaged if you see black smoke begin to pour out of him while he is running. When he is defeated, you will see Goht crash headlong into a wall, causing a huge amount of rocks to fall on top of him. This allows you to claim your Heart Container and what is left of Goht, Goht's Remains.
Though challenging, you can also defeat Goht with arrows. You must run forward after the battle starts to a specific spot where he stands and fires lightning at you idly. This isn't often used, though, since he will most likely hit you with lightning. It is also possible to fire arrows at him as he charges by the entrance to the arena, but this requires good reflexes and is quite tedious.
