In this guide, you will learn where to find and defeat Battle Talus in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Battle Talus is a giant stony monster with several Bokoblins riding on its back. It’s difficult to beat because no normal attacks damage it. However, defeating it results in precious rewards.
Battle Talus Location in TOTK
Battle Talus is found in multiple locations. Refer to the map below to find where the monster can spawn.
The red markers in the above map show the location of the Battle Talus. You can mostly find them near Hyrule Field, Tabantha Frontier, and Hyrule Ridge areas.
How to Defeat Battle Talus in TOTK
- You need to have a stony weapon (a normal hammer) in your inventory. You will know why in the next few points.
- After that, clear out all the Bokoblins who are riding the Battle Talus. To do so, you can use a ranged weapon like a bow.
- Your normal damage won’t even put a crack on the stony body of the Battle Talus. So you will need to be creative and make use of your Ascend ability here.
- Simply get under the Battle Talus and use the Ascend ability to climb on its back. On the top, you will find a Flint (black ore deposit) that you must hit with a stony weapon. The Battle Talus will take massive damage each time you hit the Flint on its back. Battle Talus will be defeated once you completely break the Flint.
- After killing it, you can go over and collect drops like its Heart. Not only that, you will unlock a Treasure Chest nearby that will contain Gems like Ruby, Amber, Opal, or Flint.
