You didn't actually make them fight each other, you had to use yourself as bait the entire time... Oh well at least you made a living clickbaiting people.

[@ThornyFox]

I know this is just your everyday hate comment, but let's take it seriously. Is this clickbait? Because it genuinely wasn't my intention when I made this. What do people think?

[@tinbeef7813]

​@@ThornyFox it isn't. I saw what I wanted to see.

[@taker601]

​@@ThornyFox Anyone who played botw knows that monsters can't fight each other without the player getting involved. It's a 6 year old game, this is common knowledge. So no, this is NOT clickbait. The fact that you made them fight with your own skill and patience is super impressive! So much cooler than the muddle buds in totk

[@Glogblogabgalabgalore]

​​@@taker601Exactly, I knew instantly before clicking that the Guardian and Talus weren't going to just walk up to each other and fight. The limits of this game are what bring out the creativity. Like you said it's really cool how he managed to make them fight at all because it should be impossible. Kudos to you Thorny 👏

[@squiliam15]

Nobody has mentioned how the Guardian literally _aims and shoots_ at the talus whenever he gets hit. I've never seen anything like that and I'm 100% satisfied with this video.

[@TurqSimmer]

I'm just suprised to see the guardians lock on anything they see as a threat & not just Link. This game really is amazing

[@ThornyFox]

Yeah I was surprised by that too. The developers really thought of everything!

[@DJChrisNeon]

Came here to say the same. Haven't seen that in the game myself so was genuinely amazed watching this.

[@asteroide536]

it works only with Stalus

[@kvarnerinfoTV]

In old Doom enemies would engage in a fight if one hit another more than few times or causing bigger damage with a hit.

Giving the Stone Talus diamonds as a reward is basically giving a human the parts of other humans as a reward.

[@ThornyFox]

Well when you put it that way

Or giving the Guardian ancient parts if it won.

[@mzz..q23]

I find it hilarious that the guardian actually started attacking the stone talus after getting hit

[@dwightdeisenhower53]

It's interesting that although most bosses won't mind if another boss attacks them, taluses are on their own side.

[@laytonjr6601]

The Talus never attacked the guardian, it was always aiming at Link

[@theoriginalamvgirl]

Well, how would you feel if you were just chilling out as part of the landscape and some kid in a weird mask made his giant robot laser spider crawl on top of you? You’d start throwing rocks, too . . .

[@subnauticaispog7580]

I like to think that taluses weren’t brought by ganon during the calamity, they just kind of laid dormant and just crush whatever gets near their sleeping spot, and they aren’t really evil, they just don’t want ppl waking them up.

[@shad0w7x56]

If anything the Guardian was the directly attacking its opponent.

[@Nekrotix12]

3:25 The Guardian and Talus momentarily realized they were being played and joined forces to fight their real opponent

[@CSKGamer06]

With the rain pouring over the fight between the Guardian Stalker and the Stone Talus made the whole deathmatch even more epic! Like a legit seeing a clash of titans!

Come on, that final hit of the stone talus was perfect😂

[@kassiemelliott9467]

No cap😂

[@zolozoro58]

i never thought they would actually hit each other awesome video!

[@ZeoViolet]

Well, Guardians are truly programmed to turn and fire immediately at whatever hits it, if it wasn't stunned outright, so yes, it'd even fire at a Talus if a Talus hits it while aiming at Link.

[@kindagamer525]

instead of throwing a single durian into a cooking pot for full hp restoration, he eats 10 of them which is incredibly irritating to see.

[@sgt.johndoe4467]

Guardian: With the power of Ganon, I am the machine of death. Talus: That’s cool. But can you do this? *_Yeet_*

[@rolanalberto3064]

Damn, this game is 5 years old (as of this comment) and never did I ever see a Guardian attack someone else other than Link. Watching this being completely mind-blown, 5 years in and I thought I've seen every quirky thing to do BOTW has to offer AND it still amazes me someone else discovers a new thing about the game. Good job, bro!

[@ThornyFox]

Yeah the level of detail the developers put into this game is crazy!

[@rolanalberto3064]

@@ThornyFox and I thought the BOTW2 trailer with "Bokoblins on a Talus" enemy type was EPIC and gave us a glimpse of combining familiar enemy types into a new one. This one little detail about Guardians attacking other threats apart from Link is just as awesome, too!

[@RicJiang]

4:18 the greatest comeback ever! Reminded me of when the winter soldier distracted iron man and captain America took iron man out

[@exactspace]

I had no idea a guardian would willfully attack another enemy, never mind a Stone Talus. This is awesome.

[@RGC_animation]

Stone Talus does not.

[@sylvesterwolfs8032]

Love how the guardian got offended by the rock that the talus threw on him hahaha

[@MuscleWolf]

“ no one is a match for the mighty Lonk”🤣 Great video, Bro. So much fun to watch.

[@ThornyFox]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pedrovolaco4449]

The Stone Talus music theme is so cheery for a giant rock trying to kill you, i remember the first time i found one (without knowing what it was)... ah, the memories of being smashed by rocks coming from nowhere as i enjoy some fun melody.

[@romancetag9313]

I like the music when Talus appears, makes the whole fight seem almost cute 😆

[@elleenoel512]

That was epic. The best part was when they both got mad and just started attacking each other; I hadn't thought they would attack anything that hurt them. I guess that makes them like the chickens. Now THERE'S a match for the ages.

[@melbaojales8528]

yesssd🎉 your da best ❤

[@StefveoX]

I actually think that would be a fascinating new feature they can include in BOTW2, like enemies who come from different camps/species would treat each other as hostile and start fighting each other. All while at the same time coming after Link as well. That would be incredibly enjoyable.

[@ThornyFox]

Imagine watching a group of bokos go up against a Guardian

[@StefveoX]

@@ThornyFox I think in that case the bokos would just literally run away lmao

[@ThornyFox]

@@StefveoX True, in fact they actually do run from Guardians already if you bring one to them!

[@STTDB1990]

Talus:...why do I suddenly hear boss music?...oh wait I cant hear anything

[@Mikeinator_]

The fact that a Guardian will willingly attack other enemies that attack it is such a nice detail! It makes them seem more intelligent and ironically 'alive,' like they are aware of their surroundings. It's also infinitely more interesting than "Ooga booga, Link spotted, must attack."

[@iamafuckingfailure]

And It makes sense, they were created to fight ganon and his forces

[@dvdbdhhdbd7385]

Legendary fight. I wanted big rocc to win to. YES big TKO 💪

[@tphillips37]

This was fun, but I was sad for the poor ChuChu who was just hanging out and ended up being crushed

[@randomman.5]

Crazy theory: the reason why the guardian attacked is because its code is trying to fight back against the malice and when it's hit it helps the guardian regain control for a little bit

That's a cool lore theory :0
