Talus beasts are particularly slow, being nothing more than animated stone golems. Link is in little danger if he chooses to run away from any Talus fight, but the rewards are worth stopping for. | Talus beasts are particularly slow, being nothing more than animated stone golems.

Up close, the Talus will strike with a '''horizontal swing with its left arm''' and a '''vertical pound with its right arm''', both dealing the Talus' '''basic melee damage''' ({{#var:meleedamage|which varies by the Talus variety; see their respective pages}}). At range, | Up close, the Talus will strike with a '''horizontal swing with its left arm''' and a '''vertical pound with its right arm''', both dealing the Talus' '''basic melee damage''' ({{#var:meleedamage|which varies by the Talus variety; see their respective pages}}). At range, the Talus beast can '''throw its arm''' ({{H|0.25}} up to {{H|3.25}} depending on the hit; ''this damage pierces armor''), losing the arm in the process. If at any time the Talus is missing an arm, it may decide to slam that side down to '''regenerate its arm''' by pulling new rocks from underground. If the Talus is missing both arms, it has no choice but to do so and will always regenerate its right arm first, then its left. If Link has been standing atop the Talus and striking its weak point several times, or if Link simply lingers too long atop the Talus, it will shudder and '''throw Link off''' ({{H|0.5}}). Lastly, if at any time Link is crushed by the torso of the Talus, Link takes '''basic melee damage'''. | ||

Talus beasts drop Gemstones and occasionally Flint, in correspondence with the type of [[Ore Deposit]] it features for a weakpoint. Single pieces of these rewards may also drop during the battle while Link is beating on the Ore Deposit. | Talus beasts drop Gemstones and occasionally Flint, in correspondence with the type of [[Ore Deposit]] it features for a weakpoint.
