How to beat a Stone Talus in Legend of Zelda BoTW

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

I've been playing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" a lot on my Switch lately. I have encountered two Stone Taluses. I have tried running behind them, but they just body slam me. I noticed a stone that looks like one you can mine with an Iron Sledgehammer. I know that you get a good bit of ore when you beat one. So how would you go about beating a Stone Talus?

Best Answer

In order to kill a Stone Talus you must attack the Obsidian/Gem like outcropping on their back. The easiest way to do this to the simple Stone Taluses is to Climb onto their back and attack the growth with a Melee weapon. All weapons will work, but mining weapons like Hammer and Boulder Breaker are more effective in terms of damage.

Variant Taluses may be more difficult to climb, but you can get around it by neutralizing their elemental damage. Throwing bombs can also be moderately effective, but aiming them can be a bit difficult and finicky. If you have the resources Bomb arrows are also quite effective.
