How to beat Hinox in Tears of the Kingdom
There are plenty of Hinox in Tears of the Kingdom, and some of them will have slight variations, too. Whilst there are Hinox in the Depths, they are significantly easier to kill above ground, as visibility is an important factor when trying to get them.
Firstly, the most important thing to know when you are trying to kill Hinox, are the different variations that exist and what difference it will make as you are trying to take them down.
- The Red Hinox has 600 HP and is the most common one that you will come across.
- A Blue Hinox has 800 HP.
- The Black Hinox has 1000 HP.
- Finally, the most difficult of them all is the Stalnox, which has 1000 HP, but only comes out at night. The final attack must be on the eye, otherwise, it won’t die. If the Stalnox is to get its eyeball back by sunrise, it’ll come back to life.
The most important thing to remember when fighting a Hinox is that they are substantially bigger than you. To fight them, you are going to want to make sure you are stacked up on arrows.
This will make the fight significantly easier, as aiming for the eye is the key to taking them down. Sometimes, the Hinox will have armour, and this will make the fight harder.
If they are wearing armour, it depends on what type of armour they are wearing on their legs. For example, if they are wearing wooden armour, you can shoot fire arrows at their legs to break the armour. If they are wearing metal, you can shoot lightning arrows to break them, and then their legs will be vulnerable.
Shooting their eye will stagger them and you will then be able to close the distance on the Hinox and slash them with a weapon of your choice.
That is everything you need to know about how to beat Hinox in Tears of the Kingdom, and all the different types of Hinox.
