Exposed on the top, or on the back, of all Talus beasts is an [[Ore Deposit]] of some variety, which is the only place where 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 and briefly stun it. This does not deal any damage, however, so Link must attack the Ore Deposit to defeat 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. | The Talus has simple but strong melee attacks, easy to avoid due to their obvious telegraph and the Talus' generally slow speed.

Two methods are available to topple the Talus through direct combat. Link may choose to strike the Ore Deposit directly with a ranged attack (such as with a bow), which will stun the Talus and cause it to fall forward, providing a few precious seconds to rush forward and climb | Two methods are available to topple the Talus through direct combat. Link may choose to strike the Ore Deposit directly with a ranged attack (such as with a bow), which will stun the Talus and cause it to fall forward, providing a few precious seconds to rush forward and climb the beast. Alternatively, the Remote Bomb Rune can be used to destroy each arm. Destroying one arm with a bomb knocks the Talus down briefly; removing its only remaining arm with a bomb will cause it to drop for a few moments longer before it attempts to pick itself up again. | ||

Link should be careful not to fall from the Talus during his attack, as it will continue to move around for a few moments and Link may slip off due to the changing slopes. The Talus will only put up with the player's mounted presence for a short while before shuddering and throwing Link off, damaging him in the process <span id="tooltip" style="cursor:help; border-bottom:1px dotted;" title="Damage to Link wearing no armor">('''Thrown from top of body''' {{H|0.5}})</span>. | ||
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. | Like all Talus variations, it's markedly vulnerable to [[Urbosa's Fury]] strikes, which deal significant damage to it when knocked down.
