In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Weldar is found in the Repair Depot of the basement in Grunty Industries, where he is subtitled "Visually-Impaired Welding Torch". Once [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] enter the room he is in, Weldar appears dragging his own body with some difficulty (as noted by the bear) to the center of the room through a large metal door. He then gets up and informs the duo that, in the worker's guidelines of the factory, it is stated that bears are not allowed in the building. Banjo takes advantage of the state of Weldar's vision to convince him that he is not actually a bear, but despite that, both still end up fighting as the welding torch already had gone through the trouble of carrying himself to the arena.

Weldar starts the fight by shooting blue fire balls at the duo. This is an easily-avoidable attack, as simply keep moving is enough to not be hit. After enough have been fired, he will put his head in the floor and attempt to suck the two using his mouth as a vacuum. To damage him during this attack, Kazooie must shoot either a [[Fire Egg]], a [[Grenade Egg]] or a [[Clockwork Kazooie Egg]] into the boss. This will cause one of the six red metal plates to break off his body. After that, he will summon [[Washup]]s, [[Boltoid]]s and [[Nutta]]s at the bear and bird, three enemies who can be quickly defeated. After the trio is dispatched of, Weldar will once again try to inhale the pair, giving another chance for them to attack. After being damaged again, he will jump into the air and fall down, trying to crush Banjo with his weight. After landing, he will start to hop around the room chasing the bear, and attempt to inhale them once again afterwards.

Once Weldar has been hit three times, he will turn on the emergency switch, activating electric cables in the floor that deal damage to the duo when touched. After that, he will go back to shooting fire balls at the duo and the attacks repeat themselves until all six metal plates are knocked off his body. Once that happens, he says that it "looks like [his] welding days are over" and proceeds to explode into various pieces, with his head hitting an electric box and consequently causing the fan in the [[Air Conditioning Plant]] to stop, allowing the [[Jiggy]] behind it to be obtained. As a reward for defeating him, Weldar summons a [[Shock Spring Pad]] to allow the two to exit the room, also telling them about his stashed jigsaw piece behind the aforementioned fan.

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', a vehicle part called '''Weldar's Breath''' can be acquired. [[Mumbo Jumbo]] says that he "found Weldar in skip" and turned him into a flamethrower. It is a very powerful, causing high ammounts of damage to its targets, but also consumes large quantities of ammo. Only two of this weapon can be obtained throughout the game.
