Sky Octorok

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

An Octorok variant that inhabits Sky Islands, floating on updrafts and firing compressed-air rock projectiles downward at approaching targets. It retains the weapon-repair mechanic of Rock Octoroks — drop a rusty weapon near it during the inhale phase to receive a refurbished version. Sky Octoroks are the primary source of Octorok Balloons on Sky Islands — essential items for constructing Ultrahand builds that require buoyancy.

Weakness

Shield parry its wind rocks back at it; arrows to the eye

How to Beat Sky Octorok

A floating Octorok variant found on Sky Islands that hovers and shoots compressed-air rocks. Shield-parry returns rocks for an instant kill. Can also perform the weapon-repair trick — hover near it with a damaged weapon to trigger the inhale-and-refurbish mechanic. Excellent source of Octorok Balloons for Ultrahand sky builds.
