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 | There is only one phase of this boss fight, so the strategy is very simple.

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. | The standard Stone Talus has simple but strong melee attacks.
