A user going by the handle Embarassed_Bat_417 posted on theTears of the Kingdomsubreddit showcasing how they easily took down Mucktorock, usually a frustrating boss, using a variety of Zonai devices. The video shows the player challenging the Water Temple boss in the Depths with a Zonai contraption consisting of sleds, wheels, a stabilizer, a homing cart, and hydrants to tie the build together. Embarassed_Bat_417 dubbed the invention the Anti-Muck Zonai Defense System, which follows the boss around the arena, clearing the piles of sludge that make it hard to move through. According to the OP, the device uses sleds, which helps to reduce the boss’ jump distance if it hits them, and having the arena muck-free allows the players and Sages to concentrate on combat, which was shown after the boss created its sludge shark to ride, only to have it quickly washed away.
The method was positively received by other users on the subreddit, with some expressing their frustrating experiences facing the boss. One player also noted that Embarassed_Bat_417’s device was a clever solution to this boss fight as it utilized a device withminimal Zonai Energy Cell depletion. With this new solution in hand, several users said that they would save the build to take on Mucktorock again.
