Stalnox Base Info

Stalnox
HP 1000
Species Hinox
The mere remains of what was once a giant monster known as a Hinox. These skeletal beasts appear at nighttime.

Stalnox Tips and Strategies

Shoot its Eye

Shoot its Eye (BotW) - Stalnox
The Stalnox's single eye is its weak point. Shooting it not only deals a lot of damage, but it also stuns the giant - causing it to fall and recoil in pain for a few seconds. Link can shoot arrows, throw weapons, or even use the Master Sword's Sword Beam to hit the eye.

Once the Stalnox loses most of its HP, its eye will fall onto the ground. Quickly rush to its eye and pummel it with your strongest weapons!

Quickly Destroy its Eye

Destroy its Eye (BotW) - Stalnox
The Stalnox's eye will come back to its body, and it will recover a portion of its HP (around 35% HP) if you failed to destroy it in a short time. Be sure to reduce the Stalnox eye's HP to zero before he recovers!

Use Stasis and Shoot

Use Statis (BotW) - Stalnox
Once the Stalnox's health goes down a certain level, it will start shielding its eye with one of its hands. When this happens, use the Upgraded Stasis Rune to freeze the Stalnox in place and shoot its eye. When the effect wears off, the Stalnox will fall down and recoil in pain, allowing you to hit it with your weapons again. Repeat this a few times to finish it off.

If you hit it’s eye with a bomb arrow, the eye will drop out of the head and you can destroy it without having to directly attack the Stalnox
