The '''Stalnox''' is a skeletal variant of the [[Hinox#Breath of the Wild|Hinox]]. It follows some of the rules of other skeletal monsters: at daylight, the Stalnox collapses and becomes a collection of bones again. | The '''Stalnox''' is a skeletal variant of the [[Hinox#Breath of the Wild|Hinox]].

As with any Hinox, their biggest weakness is the eye. A well-aimed shot will give Link a chance to land more hits. There is only one difference: unlike the Hinox, the Stalnox takes more than just arrows. Once their health is reduced to below 50%, the eye will fall out of its socket and will be vulnerable to close-combat sword strikes. This is the only way to deal damage to the beast during this phase, as the bones become invincible. After Link lands a couple of hits on the eye, it will return to its owner and will need to be knocked out again. At this stage, the Stalnox will become wise to the attacks, and begin covering its eye. The best strategy is to get close to the Stalnox, and let it attack. Then, loose an arrow into the eye once it is exposed, and it will drop out. | As with any Hinox, their biggest weakness is the eye.

One tactic that can be used if Link runs out of melee weapons is to shoot the eye, which causes the Stalnox to drop to the ground. Link can run up to it to find more weapons. | One tactic that can be used if Link runs out of melee weapons is to shoot the eye, which causes the Stalnox to drop to the ground.

Stalnoxes are the only Stal type enemy who are not instantly defeated by [[Dazzlefruit]]; they will instead be blinded briefly like most other enemies. | One tactic that can be used if Link runs out of melee weapons is to shoot the eye, which causes the Stalnox to drop to the ground.
