Igneo Talus: Difference between revisions

The Igneo Talus is a variant of the [[Stone Talus]]es that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. Like their normal counterparts, Igneo Taluses hide in the ground as large rocks that only begin to form once [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] comes close enough. Igneo Taluses are composed of lava rocks that glow a fiery red, and burn Link on contact.  

Igneo Talus are only found in the [[Eldin Canyon]]. Conversely, Igneo Taluses are the only variant of Stone Talus to exist in [[Eldin (Breath of the Wild|Eldin]]. Link is most likely to encounter his first Igneo Talus to the southwest of [[Gortram Cliff]] if he chooses to follow the trail to [[Goron City (Breath of the Wild)|Goron City]].

Igneo Taluses attack in the same manner as all taluses. They attempt to crush Link using their body or their fists, but they also, in doing so, create explosions that can damage him, either by throwing its arms, or slamming its body against the ground. The other challenge the Igneo Talus presents is that its body is far too hot for Link to climb. Climbing onto, and standing on the boss will cause Link to take damage rapidly. This can all be avoided, however, with the use of any weapons infused with ice, including [[Ice Rod]]s and [[Ice Arrow]]s. Attacking the Talus with any cold weapons will stun it, and put out the fire coursing through its body, giving Link time to climb onto it and attack the [[Ore Deposit]] on its body. However, Igneo Taluses will try and slam itself into the ground to relight itself after a short period of time.

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 to damage it when the Talus is upright.
