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 Stone Talus can be damaged. The Stone 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. | ||
The 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 one 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|3.25}}''')</span>, towards Link, losing the arm in the process. Once 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 Stone Talus' body is at ground level, Link has a window of opportunity to climb atop the Stone Talus. | ||
Two methods are available to topple the Stone Talus through direct combat. Link may choose to strike the Ore Deposit directly with a ranged attack (such as with a bow), which will stun the Stone Talus and cause it to fall forward, providing a few precious seconds to rush forward and climb up the beast. Alternatively, the Remote Bomb Rune can be used to destroy each arm. Destroying one arm with a bomb knocks the Stone Talus down briefly; removing its only remaining arm with a bomb will cause it to drop for a few moments longer before it attempts to pick itself up again. | Two methods are available to topple the Stone Talus through direct combat.
