Frost Talus Tips and Strategies
Equip Snowquill Armor Set
Equipping the Snowquill armor can help you scale Frost Talus's body without getting frozen, as it gives an Unfreezable set bonus effect. Be sure to complete the armor set first before hunting down all the Frost Talus!
How to Get the Snowquill Set
Melt the Ice on its Body
Melt the ice on Frost Talus's body to avoid getting frozen. You can remove the ice on its body by hitting it with a Fire Arrow or Fire Weapon, such as a Flameblade. A successful hit with a Fire Arrow or Fire Weapon will also stun it for 2-3 seconds. Take that opportunity to climb its body and continuously attack the ore.
| Ice Items/Weapons | ||
|---|---|---|
 Great Flameblade
|
 Fire Rod
|
 Meteor Rod
|
 Fire Arrow
|
 Flameblade
|
 Flamespear
|
Aim for the Ore!
Exploit the Frost Talus's weak point, which is the ore deposit on top of its body. Use a Bow and target its ore to stun it for 2-3 seconds. Take that chance to melt the ice on its body and attack the ore.
We recommend equipping a Hammer weapon, and then using a charged attack on the ore to deal more damage against it. If you already have Urbosa's Fury, it can be charged to inflict more damage to the Frost Talus.
| Hammer Weapons | ||
|---|---|---|
 Lynel Crusher
|
 Savage Lynel Crusher
|
 Stone Smasher
|
 Mighty Lynel Crusher
|
 Cobble Crusher
|
 Boulder Breaker
|
 Iron Sledgehammer
|

Watch out for the Smash Attack
After it finishes recovering from your fire attacks, it will smash the ground to make its body covered with ice again. The smash attack has a wide area of effect, be sure to get away from Frost Talus once he recovers!
Beware of the Stone it Throws
Stone Talus (Rare) has a ranged attackーthrowing its stone arms at Link. This attack covers a very wide range, so be sure to sprint to your left or right to evade the attack.
After losing its arms, it will stop and recover them. It will give you a small window to climb its body and wither down its HP. Make sure to climb from its back to prevent yourself from getting hurt as he gets a new pair of arms.
Remote Bombs
Alternatively, you can use Remote Bombs to destroy its arms. These are especially useful if you want to save your arrows for an easy stun.
Parrying is not an Option
It is not recommended to parry the stones as they can still hurt Link. Even if the parry is perfect, the debris from the stone can still hit and damage Link. We highly suggest that you evade the attack and wait for an opportunity to attack back.
