Moblin Archer

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

A bow-wielding Moblin that takes advantage of its natural height to loft powerful arrows over terrain cover. Found guarding camp entrances and bridge chokepoints where their elevated shots are most effective. Headshots with arrows are the efficient counter — the Moblin Archer cannot dodge as quickly as Bokoblin archers. Their Moblin Horn drops are standard mid-tier crafting materials.

Weakness

Headshots, fire arrows on wooden archer stands

How to Beat Moblin Archer

Tall Moblins with large bows that fire powerful shots. Their height allows them to shoot over cover that stops Bokoblin archers. Shoot their hands to interrupt the draw. Unlike Bokoblin archers, Moblin archers have reach even at close range — close in and circle to their back where they cannot track quickly.
