Maren's Tip
Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!
Description
The Gloom Aerocuda is a Depths-corrupted flying predator shrouded in dark miasma. Its talons and beak inflict Gloom damage that reduces Link's maximum heart capacity, making each hit progressively more dangerous. Found in the deepest sky rifts and the caverns beneath Hyrule Castle, these elite flyers hunt in pairs and coordinate dive-bomb attacks. Sundelion-fused arrows are the only reliable counter to their Gloom aura, making food preparation and arrow crafting essential before venturing into their territory.

How to Beat Gloom Aerocuda (Elite)
A Depths-corrupted Aerocuda wreathed in Gloom. Its attacks reduce maximum hearts. Use Sundelion-fused arrows to strip the Gloom aura, then finish with standard attacks. In the Depths, they often fly in pairs — prioritize one to avoid cross-attacks that drain hearts rapidly.
