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 its weak point (and the only place where the Talus can actually be damaged). The Stone Talus is otherwise unaffected when attacked, except by [[Remote Bomb (Rune)|Remote Bombs]], which can be used to destroy the "hand" boulders at the end of each arm; this does not damage its health, however, so the player must attack the Ore Node to defeat it. | There is only one phase of this boss fight, so the strategy is very simple.

The standard Stone Talus | The standard Stone Talus has simple but strong melee attacks. 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 Stone Talus will throw the "hand" 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|2.25}}''')</span>, losing the arm in the process. After 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. | ||
Two methods are available to topple the Talus through direct combat. The player 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 up the beast. Alternatively, [[Remote Bomb (Rune)|Remote Bombs]] can be used to demolish the "hand" boulder of each arm. Destroying one arm with a bomb knocks the Talus down briefly; removing the Talus' only remaining arm with a bomb will cause it to drop for | Two methods are available to topple the Talus through direct combat.

When on top of the Talus, the player should equip a strong two-handed weapon and use their charged spin attack to deal maximum damage. The player should be careful not to fall from the Talus during their 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 few moments before shuddering and throwing Link off, damaging him in the process. | When on top of the Talus, the player should equip a strong two-handed weapon and use their charged spin attack to deal maximum damage.
