Rare Stone Talus

The Rare Stone Talus is a mini-boss enemy in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. A returning enemy from Breath of the Wild, this large stone elemental uses its giant boulder limbs to crush nearby foes, and can hurl them at distant enemies as well. You can find Rare Stone Talus throughout the surface of Hyrule as well as in the depths.

Unlike common Stone Talus enemies, Rare Stone Talus bosses have a Rare Stone Deposit attached to their bodies. Much like Rare Stone Deposits, the rewards for defeating a Rare Stone Talus are much rarer and sell for a higher profit.
