The | The Stone Talus is one of the three main overworld sub-bosses found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. It disguises itself in the ground as a collection of rocks, and the boss forms as [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] draws near. The Stone Talus is the first overworld boss Link can encounter in the game, situated in the [[Forest of Spirits]] on the [[Great Plateau]]. | ||
There are 40 of these bosses spread throughout all of [[Hyrule]]. Along with the standard Stone Talus, Link can also encounter the [[Frost 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]]. | There are 40 of these bosses spread throughout all of [[Hyrule]].

When atop the Stone Talus, Link should equip a strong two-handed weapon and use his charged spin attack to deal maximum damage. Link should be careful not to fall from the Stone 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 Stone Talus will only put up with the player's mounted presence for a few strikes 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>. | When atop the Stone Talus, Link should equip a strong two-handed weapon and use his charged spin attack to deal maximum damage.

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. | All Taluses are weak to weapons designed for mining ([[Iron Sledgehammer]], [[Cobble Crusher]], [[Drillshaft]], [[Stone Smasher]], [[Boulder Breaker]]), and take double damage from them, except the Iron Sledgehammer, which deals x4 damage. As such, they tend to outstrip other weapons in terms of damage output against Taluses, and should be the go-to method of attack. 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. | ||

In ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'', Stone Talus take on a similar appearance as their ''Breath of the Wild'' counterparts, appearing in normal, [[Stone Talus (Luminous)|Luminous]], and [[Stone Talus (Rare)|Rare]] variants. The gems that are on top of the talus once again serve as the enemies weak point and hits to these gems will cause their energy gauge to deplete. Normal attacks will deal more minimal damage, but a special attack can leave a Stone Talus stunned momentarily. This can allow the warrior to leap up onto the Talus body and deliver direct strikes to its gems. | In ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity|Age of Calamity]]'', Stone Talus take on a similar appearance as their ''Breath of the Wild'' counterparts, appearing in normal, [[Stone Talus (Luminous)|Luminous]], and [[Stone Talus (Rare)|Rare]] variants.

Stone Talus often drop rare gems as rewards, including [[Flint]], [[Amber]], [[Opal]], and [[Ruby]]. After each Stone Talus is defeated, the player will receive a [[Stone Talus Trophy]]. These can be used to complete [[Age of Calamity Quests|quests]] or upgrade weapons of the various warriors. | Stone Talus often drop rare gems as rewards, including [[Flint]], [[Amber]], [[Opal]], and [[Ruby]].

* As estimated in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRP6a3jdYnc this video], in terms of physical strength alone, Taluses are the strongest enemies in ''Breath of the Wild'' due to their ability to hurl hundred-ton boulders spanning great distances, even if their own resistance is not great. It also estimates that Link is ''extremely'' resilient as a result, as he's able to be pelted with said boulders and remain in one piece even if he's killed by those (especially considering that boulders that size would squish a real-life person beyond recognition), notwithstanding the fact that Link can swat said boulders with a shield shove. | *As estimated in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRP6a3jdYnc this video], in terms of physical strength alone, Taluses are the strongest enemies in ''Breath of the Wild'' due to their ability to hurl hundred-ton boulders spanning great distances, even if their own resistance is not great.

* Taluses in general (including Pebblits) are the only enemies in the game that make no sounds or vocalizations; they also are the only sub-bosses in the game that have elemental variations, as the other sub-bosses ([[Molduga]]s and [[Hinox]]es) have none, and are the only enemies that appear to be non-organic in nature. | *Taluses in general (including Pebblits) are the only enemies in the game that make no sounds or vocalizations; they also are the only sub-bosses in the game that have elemental variations, as the other sub-bosses ([[Molduga]]s and [[Hinox]]es) have none, and are the only enemies that appear to be non-organic in nature. | ||
