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 massive one-eyed giant that sleeps in scenic locations across Hyrule. It wears defeated warriors' weapons as necklace trophies — loot them after the fight. The eye is its primary weak point: headshots with arrows stagger it, enabling mounted attacks that deal enormous damage. Its sleeping state allows for a first-strike headshot at full advantage. Red Hinox drops are used in heavy armor upgrades.
Weakness
Eye shot to stun, legs for mounting
How to Beat Red Hinox
Giant cyclops that sleeps until disturbed. Shoot its eye with an arrow to stun it. Run up and grab weapons from its necklace. Attack the legs to make it fall, then attack the body. It picks up trees to use as weapons in later phases.
