How to Beat the Black Hinox

Hit Black Hinox' Eye to Stun It Melee Black Hinox When Stunned Shoot Legs with Elemental Attacks

Hit Black Hinox' Eye to Stun It

Hit the Black Hinox' single eye with arrows in order to stun it. This will cause the Black Hinox to fall backwards, unable to attack.

Note: When the Black Hinox' HP is low, it will start to cover its eye with its hand. You can get around this by simply hitting the eye quicker than the Black Hinox can cover it or waiting for it to remove its hand. You can also get mid-air and hit its eye while slow-mo aiming.

Melee Black Hinox When Stunned

When the Black Hinox is stunned, it will be vulnerable to attacks. Run up to it and hit it with melee strikes until it gets back up. Repeat this process until the Black Hinox is defeated.

Shoot Legs with Elemental Attacks

If a Black Hinox has steel armor on its legs, hit it with electric attacks to shock it. If the Black Hinox has wooden armor on its legs, shoot it with fire attacks to set it on fire. These techniques will give you some time to get in extra damage while the Black Hinox is distracted.
