Procedure Guide
- Break its arm to take it down
- Climb onto its head
- Attack the ore's weak point
Destroy The Arm With A Remote Bomb
Breaking Stone Talus' arm with a Remote Bomb will knock it down. Climb up on its head to attack its weak spot.
Attack The Ore
Stone Talus has different weak points on its ore, and their locations can vary. If the weak point is positioned above, you can easily strike it with a charged attack, such as the Bow Spin, using a great sword to deal massive damage.
Aim For Weak Points On The Back With Bow Arrows
When Stone Talus has a weak point on its back, it's recommended to climb up to its head and then leap down to its backside to attack with a bow in slow motion, to deal significant damage. Using a rapid-fire bow can further increase the damage dealt.
In order to defeat Stone Talus, it's crucial to target its weak points, which will cause it to collapse, allowing you to repeatedly ride on its head, attack the vulnerable spot with your bow, and then ride on its head again.
