Horriblin Thrower

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 Horriblin variant that remains anchored to cave ceilings and uses thrown projectiles as its primary attack rather than the ceiling-drop maneuver. Its rapid rock-throwing prevents safe upward aiming. Using Recall on the thrown rocks sends them back at ceiling height for reliable knock-downs. Found in high-ceiling caves where the ceiling drop attack would be less effective, making this throwing behavior the natural adaptation.

Weakness

Arrows to knock down; dodge the thrown rocks which can be Recalled back

How to Beat Horriblin Thrower

A Horriblin that specializes in throwing large rocks and ore chunks from ceiling positions rather than dropping directly onto Link. Use Recall on the thrown rocks to send them back for a ceiling hit that stuns it and causes it to fall. Then engage with melee. It throws in rapid succession — dodge sideways twice then Recall.
