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
Yiga Scouts are low-level Yiga Clan agents that disguise as travelers, merchants, and NPC types on roads and near stables. Their disguise breaks immediately when Link draws a weapon within 5 meters. The Yiga Clan Mask drop is a rare cosmetic item.

How to Beat Yiga Scout
Yiga Scouts disguise as travelers and approach Link for ambush. Spot them by their triangular shadow pattern. Drop a Mighty Banana before engagement — they will walk toward it, exposing their back. One hit kills most scouts.
