Description
This enormous monster is naturally camouflaged as a rock formation. Neither sword nor arrow can pierce its stony form, but a cunning adventurer knows to scale its body and attack the ore sprouting from its peak.

Stone Taluses appear as a cluster of boulders at first, but once approached, they assemble into large golem-like beings.[7] Luminous, Rare, Frost, and Igneo variations can also be found all around Hyrule. Stone Taluses are fairly large compared and deal important amounts of damage.[how many?] They are very slow-moving, so as long as Link stays behind or beneath them, he will be out of harm's way. Stone Taluses can use their large arm structures to punch and swipe across the ground, dealing heavy damage to the impact area. They can also fall forward and crash their entire body into the ground or launch large fragments of their rocky frame at Link.

To defeat a Stone Talus, Link can climb onto its body and attack the Ore Deposit on its back, usually located on top or at the back of the Sub-Boss.[7] Link can inflict double damage using a two-handed Weapon, or four times as much damage using an Iron Sledgehammer. After taking damage, Stone Taluses attempt to throw Link off by shaking themselves. To make climbing easier, Link can use a Remote Bomb to blast apart its arms, hindering it temporarily. Stone Taluses regenerate lost body parts shortly after losing them. Alternatively, Link can stun the Stone Talus by shooting the Ore Deposit on its back, making it fall on its face. Upon being defeated, a Stone Talus leaves behind a variety of Gems, depending of its type.

After Link has beaten Calamity Ganon from the first time, he will be able to talk to Kilton about Stone Taluses.[6] Though Kilton is currently studying them, he has been unable to approach due to their gigantic size, so he asks Link to defeat all of the Stone Taluses in Hyrule on his behalf so that he can analyze the scent their fluids leave behind.[8] If Link achieves this goal, Kilton will reward him with the Medal of Honor: Talus.[9] This research helps Kilton learn about the musculoskeletal structure and diet of Stone Taluses.[10]

Tears of the Kingdom

Stone Taluses appear as Enemies in Tears of the Kingdom. A new variant called the Battle Talus is also introduced, which are Stone Taluses that are modified to function as a mobile Monster Stronghold replete with chevaux de frise on the undersides of their wooden frames to prevent intruders from climbing.

Other Appearances

Cadence of Hyrule

Stone Taluses are two tiles wide and move every third beat. They have 3 Heart Containers, but must be hit multiple times to crack them, allowing their Hearts to be reduced, unless the character's Weapon has piercing. If the character is next to the Stone Talus the beat before it moves, it will use an area attack, hitting all eight adjacent tiles. If the Stone Talus is not hit for a while, it will sit still and become immune to attacks while it reforms itself, regaining lost Hearts.

Trivia

  • In early versions of Breath of the Wild, Stone Taluses were referred to as Steppe Taluses.[11]
