Blue Hinox

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 blue-skinned Hinox with significantly more HP and aggression than the Red variant. Found sleeping in mid-game clearings across Hyrule. Its single eye remains the vulnerability, but it guards the eye more proactively after the first hit. The grab attack is new to this tier — dodge sideways to avoid being caught and thrown. Blue Hinox necklaces carry mid-tier weapons worth stealing before initiating combat.

Weakness

Arrow to the eye, sustained melee while stunned

How to Beat Blue Hinox

A mid-tier Hinox with blue skin. The eye is still the primary target — arrow headshots stun it for melee follow-ups. Unlike Red Hinox, it recovers faster from stuns and has a grab attack that deals heavy damage. Its necklace weapons are useful mid-game upgrades. Same sleep-steal opening as Red Hinox.
