Stone Hinox (Depths)

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

The Stone Hinox is an armored giant found exclusively in the Depths, its body encased in thick stone plating that renders most physical attacks useless. Most critically, a stone eyelid protects its vulnerable eye — the standard Hinox weakness. Bomb arrows or high-explosive fused attacks are required to crack the stone eyelid before eye shots can land. Found in open Depths arenas with minimal cover, this Hinox variant represents one of the toughest non-boss encounters in the underground. The rare Diamond drop and Stone Talus Heart make it worth the considerable effort.

Weakness

Bomb arrows to the eye — standard arrows bounce off stone-armored eyelid
