Black 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 fearsome black-tier archer Moblin firing powerful arrows from elevated camp positions. Its enormous size allows it to take positions inaccessible to Bokoblin archers, and its arrow damage can stagger Link significantly. Bomb arrows targeting the platform base are the most efficient approach. Black Moblin Horn drops are top-tier common enemy Fuse materials competitive with many Elite-category drops.

Weakness

Bomb arrows under the platform, aerial countershots via Paraglider

How to Beat Black Moblin Archer

The deadliest standard archer enemy outside Elite classification. Its arrows hit hard enough to launch Link backward at range. Use Paraglider to reach elevation and shoot from height or use bomb arrows on the wooden platform base. The Black Moblin Horn is a premium Fuse material worth braving the arrows for.
