One of the best things in Tears of the Kingdom is the freedom the game gives you to do whatever you want. While the game’s first hours are a tutorial, and you might not be as free as you’d want, they are helpful. Yet, once you reach the open fields of Hyrule of more Sky Islands, you’ll start facing new challenges. One of them is the variety of enemies this game throws at you. Today, we’ll focus on how to defeat the Stone Talus in Tears of the Kingdom, one of the classic enemies from Breath of the Wild that returns to this sequel.
How to Defeat the Stone Talus in Tears of the Kingdom
You must watch for its weak spot to defeat the Stone Talus in Tears of the Kingdom. Many enemies in the game have clear weak spots, while others have them a bit more hidden. The Stone Talus enemy can be hard to beat because its weak point is in a hard place to reach. Thankfully, the game has some new mechanics to help you in this fight. If you want to beat it, here’s the strategy we use:
- Grab as many arrows as you can
- Start farming some Keese Eyeballs
- Fuse them into your arrows and aim at the crystal on the Talus’ back
If you follow these steps, you’ll take down the Stone Talus quickly. This enemy is problematic because it is resistant to melee attacks, and if you want to hit its weak spot with a melee weapon, you’ll need to climb on top of it. While this is also a good strategy, it takes longer and is more dangerous, especially if you don’t have a lot of hearts.
