Gloom Construct 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 Zonai Construct that has been corrupted by the Depths gloom, its core crystal turning a sickly violet-black and its arrow attacks infused with gloom energy. Gloom Construct Archers are placed at key chokepoints in the Central Depths to deny easy approach to boss arenas. Their gloom arrows are among the most debilitating ranged attacks in the game — each hit caps max hearts, and groups can reduce Link to a fraction of his HP before you reach them.

Weakness

Arrow to core crystal, then melee; avoid gloom arrow contact

How to Beat Gloom Construct Archer

A gloom-corrupted Zonai construct that fires gloom-laced energy arrows from fixed positions. Unlike standard constructs, its arrows carry gloom debuff — one hit reduces max hearts. Interrupt the charge-up with a well-aimed arrow to the core crystal before it fires. These often guard corridors leading to Depths boss arenas.
