The Gerune is quite the impregnable enemy as it is immune to all weapons with the exception of the [[Sand Wand]].

Gerune will get scared of the Sand Wand's powers, and will begin to dash around the area at high speeds. In its hardened form, Link can either destroy it with his sword, or hoist the foe above his head and throw it, and upon hitting the ground it will begin to flake, changing to increasingly darker colors as it receives more damage. Only after three throws in its solid form will the Gerune submit to defeat, often dropping nothing for Link's efforts save on rare occasions, yielding only one [[Heart]].
A hardened Gerune can be used to activate Switches to solve puzzles within the Sand Temple.
 
Like [[Armos]] and other solid stones and blocks, a hardened Gerune can be used to activate switches in Link's stead, and must be used as such in one puzzle within the Sand Temple itself.
