==Strategy==
There is only one phase of this boss fight, so the strategy is very simple. Exposed on the top, or on the side, of all Talus beasts is an [[Ore Deposit]] of some variety, which is the only place the Talus can be damaged. The Talus is otherwise unaffected when attacked, except by [[Remote Bomb (Rune)|Remote Bombs]], which can be used to destroy its arms. This does not deal any damage, however, so Link must attack the Ore Deposit to defeat it.

The bombs can also be deal damage to the talus if the explosion directly hits the ore deposit, and also stunning it.


The Talus has simple but strong melee attacks, easy to avoid due to their obvious telegraph and the Talus' generally slow speed. It rears back to swing hard with its left arm or pounds Link into the ground with its right arm <span id="tooltip" style="cursor:help; border-bottom:1px dotted;" title="Damage to Link wearing no armor">('''Melee punch''' {{H|6}})</span>. At range, the Talus will throw one of its arms <span id="tooltip" style="cursor:help; border-bottom:1px dotted;" title="Damage to Link wearing no armor">('''Boulder throw {{H|0.25}}-{{H|3.25}}''')</span>, towards Link, losing the arm in the process. Once it loses both arms, it will slam one side down to replenish its arm, then the other. At this point, and at any time when the Talus' body is at ground level, Link has a window of opportunity to climb atop the Talus.
