==Breath of the Wild==
The '''Stone Talus (Rare)''' is one of the many overworld bosses found in ''Breath of the Wild''. It disguises itself in the ground as a collection of rocks, and the boss forms as [[Link]] draws near.


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]].

===Locations===
 
The Talus beasts are scattered far and wide throughout Hyrule. Frigid, snowy regions are home to the Frost Talus variant, while the [[Eldin (Breath of the Wild)|Eldin]] region features the Igneo Talus.

==Strategy==
===Strategy===
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 the only place 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. This does not deal any damage, however, so Link must attack the Ore Deposit to defeat it.

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.
