Learn how to defeat the Frost Talus in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and complete the North Hebra Mountains Crystal Shrine Quest. Get tips and strategies!
Alright, so you're heading to the North Hebra Mountains for a Shrine Quest, huh? The first thing you'll want to know is that this isn't your typical puzzle shrine. Nope, this one throws a Frost Talus at you! It's located north of the Hebra East Summit. Keep an eye out for the Sisuran Shrine – there's a map marker in the source if you're having trouble pinpointing it. Oh, and it's super chilly up there, so make sure you've got some warm gear equipped before you set off!
Walkthrough
- 1Melt the Ice: The biggest hurdle with this Frost Talus is its icy exterior. You need to melt it before you can really damage it. The best way to do this is by attaching a Fire Fruit to an arrow. Fire it from a distance, aiming for the Talus's body, not its arms. This will start melting the ice.
- 2Climb and Attack: Once the ice is gone, you'll need to climb onto the Talus. Get up there and hit the exposed crystal with your strongest weapon. Don't hold back!
- 3Repeat if Necessary: You might not be able to take down its entire health bar in one go. If that's the case, just repeat the process: melt the ice with Fire Fruit arrows from a safe distance, then climb up and attack the crystal. The Frost Talus's attacks aren't too hard to avoid if you keep your distance while you're firing your arrows.
- 4Retrieve the Crystal: After you've finally defeated the Frost Talus, grab the crystal that drops. Use your Ultrahand ability to pick it up and carry it back to the shrine. This will unlock it!
Tips
- Make sure you have plenty of Fire Fruit in your inventory before heading to the Hebra Mountains.
- If you don't have Fire Fruit, other fire-based attacks or weapons might work, but Fire Fruit is the most reliable and efficient.
- Keep moving! Dodging the Frost Talus's ice attacks is key to survival.
- Don't be afraid to use your best weapons when attacking the crystal. This is where you'll deal the most damage.
