There are 40 different Taluses spread throughout all of [[Hyrule]]. Along with the Frost Talus, Link can also encounter the [[Stone Talus]] and [[Igneo Talus]], among others. Defeating all 40 and reporting to [[Kilton]] at the [[Fang and Bone]] rewards Link with the [[Medal of Honor: Talus]].

The Talus beasts are scattered far and wide throughout Hyrule. Frigid, snowy regions are home to the Frost Talus variant, while the [[Eldin (Breath of the Wild)|Eldin]] region features the Igneo Talus. Be sure to check out our [https://www.zeldadungeon.net/breath-of-the-wild-interactive-map/ Interactive Map] for all the different locations the Frost Talus and its variants can be found.

Not all Frost Taluses are ice-clad upon being encountered, and their status may depend on weather, the time of day, and their location on the map. For instance, the Frost Talus which is southeast of the [[Gerudo Summit]] next to an archway may not always be frozen. However, most other Frost Taluses are always ice-clad, like the Talus of [[Coldsnap Hollow]].

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

Like all Talus variations, it's markedly vulnerable to [[Urbosa's Fury]] strikes, which deal significant damage to it when knocked down. However, the strikes may fail when the Talus is upright.

The Ore Deposit situated on the Frost Talus' body will occasionally drop some of its loot when struck. This includes gemstones such as [[Amber]] or [[Sapphire]], or basic stones such as [[Flint]]. Upon death, the Frost Talus will drop many gemstones, including the aforementioned.

At [[Coldsnap Hollow]] Link will encounter a [[Frost Talus]] which is part of the ''[[Face the Frost Talus]]'' side quest given by [[Gesane]] at the first connecting bridge leading to [[Rito Village]]. Slaying the Talus will award Link a [[Silver Rupee]].
