Gloom Bokoblin 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 gloom-corrupted Bokoblin archer that fires gloom-imbued arrows from high Depths vantage points. It is uniquely dangerous because the gloom arrow's heart-capping debuff activates at ranged distance — unlike melee gloom enemies you can kite, this one punishes passive approach. Groups of Gloom Bokoblin Archers can shred Link's effective heart count from full to a fraction before the first sword swing. Sundelion meals before any Depths camp with elevated platforms are mandatory.

Weakness

Headshot to kill before gloom arrow fires

How to Beat Gloom Bokoblin Archer

Fires gloom-infused arrows from elevated Depths positions. A single gloom arrow hit reduces max hearts. Prioritize with a headshot before it draws — gloom archers in groups can permanently cap your hearts to a dangerously low level before melee enemies even reach you.
