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 senior Yiga Clan Captain who commands ambush squads with exceptional combat proficiency. Dual-wielding high-tier weapons with teleport-chained attacks that are significantly harder to dodge than Blademaster variants. They also call for reinforcements on taking damage — prioritize burst damage before reinforcements arrive. Duplex Bow drops are among the most reliable sources of this powerful multi-shot bow outside of Depths loot chests.

Perfect dodge into flurry rush, bomb arrows interrupt combo, Sage abilities
How to Beat Yiga Clan Captain
