Armos look like normal statues, but if [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] touches one it will begin to randomly move around the area. Armos are only found in the area just outside of [[Southern Face Shrine]]. One of the easiest methods to defeat an armos is to simply shoot it with an arrow. Armos have one of the strongest attacks in the game, dealing two hearts of damage if they contact Link. | ||

The sword will not harm the Anti-Kirby at all, so the best way to kill one is to swing the [[Magic Rod (Link's Awakening)|Magic Rod]] at it or hit it with the [[Boomerang]]. | ||
