You have to defeat Queen Gibdo in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to complete the Temple of Lightning as part of the Regional Freaks main quest in the Gerudo Desert.
Once you solve all the puzzles in the Temple of Lightning in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and go to the Hall of Ascension, Queen Gibdo will be waiting for you and she is one of the most difficult bosses in the game, so come prepared!
Make sure you have plenty of arrows and some food to keep your health stable before starting the fight if you want to successfully take on the Lightning Temple boss. We also recommend bringing a mirror shield to make things easier during the second phase.

How to beat Queen Gibdo’s boss in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
The boss of the Temple of Lightning in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is Queen Gibdo, a huge version of Gibdo’s annoying enemies. She summons tornadoes, spits mud, and attacks Link in two phases, and is one of the most difficult bosses in Tears of the Kingdom.

If you’re really struggling to kill Queen Gibdo, even with the tips below, we recommend eating to increase your attack and stamina, and equip armor with good defense stats and upgrade it at Great Fairy locations.
Equipping the Sand Boots can also help you increase your movement speed if you’re struggling to avoid tornadoes.
Once you’re ready, here’s how to beat Queen Gibdo, boss of the Temple of Lightning, in both phases:
Queen Gibdo’s Lightning Temple Boss – Phase 1
Queen Gibdo has three main attacks during her first boss phase:
- mud stream
- tornadoes
- charge attack
If you’ve completed the Water Temple, using Sidon’s protective bubble ability is a great help when trying to avoid damage from the mud stream. Or you can block with a good shield, but this will likely break the shield. If you don’t want to block, try running under the mudflow towards Queen Gibdo to increase your chances of avoiding the attack.

We couldn’t find any way to protect ourselves from tornadoes except to run far enough to the left or right to avoid them. However, keeping a good distance from Queen Gibdo can help space out tornadoes, which helps you get through them instead of running left or right. Equipping Sand Boots can also help you run away faster.

For her charge attack, using Sidon’s shield ability or just running away are the best ways to avoid it, as well as damaging her enough to stop the charge.
The best way to damage Queen Gibdo during both phases of the Lightning Temple boss fight is to use Riju’s lightning ability. Yunobo’s ability obtained from the Fire Temple is also okay, but it deals much slower damage. Attaching powerful items like Gibdo bones to your arrows is best for quickly damaging the boss. The monster eyeball items on the arrows can also help if your aim isn’t good, but you’ll lose a lot of damage potential this way.

When you hurt her enough, Queen Gibdo will collapse and this is your chance to attack her with your most powerful melee weapons. We recommend using a spear or sword if you can, as they are faster than Claymores. Make sure you also have all your Sages on the field, as they will also attack Queen Gibdo when she is down.

Keep repeating the steps above until you take half of Queen Gibdo’s health bar off, when a cutscene will play triggering the start of phase 2.
Queen Gibdo’s Lightning Temple Boss – Phase 2
To make the fight even more difficult, Gibdo’s grunting enemies will now spawn and attack you at the same time as Queen Gibdo, who still uses her mud, tornado, and charge attacks.
The tips we mentioned above still apply during Phase 2 of the Lightning Temple boss fight, but now you need to destroy the purple hives with Riju’s lightning ability. This creates a large source of light that you can run into to avoid Gibdo’s attacks, and you can even equip a mirror shield to aim light at enemies to stun and kill them faster.

Be careful when destroying the purple hives, as you will take damage if you are too close to them when they explode.
The attack strategy is the same during phase 2, but we don’t recommend using the lightning ability on Queen Gibdo until you’ve popped all the hives, as retreating to these light sources is key to staying alive. Just keep in mind that although grunts can’t hurt you in the light, Queen Gibdo still can.

You can also attach elemental fruit to your arrows to kill Gibdo grunts if you can’t quickly get close to a light source.
When you defeat Queen Gibdo, you will get a long story scene, a heart container, and Riju’s Vow as part of the Lightning Temple rewards.

Riju’s Vow can be equipped from the “Key Items” menu to summon an avatar of Riju while Link is exploring, allowing you to use his lightning ability whenever you want, except in places like Shrines.
Now that you’ve defeated Queen Gibdo and completed the Temple of Lightning, why not take on some nearby Shrines, locate more Dragon’s Tears, or go hunting for armor sets?
