I’ve always though a mountain size talus would be so cool. I really hope Nintendo does something like this in Tears of the Kingdom.

[@Diseased_Lichenthrope]

I've always wanted a colossal Talus like this! If Nintendo decides to put this lad in Tears of the Kingdom I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that. Additionally, it would be really cool if you did something like this with more BOTW enemies and bosses.

Here's hoping multiplayer is available in the BoTW sequel. It looks like a lot of fun to fight together.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Me too man. But it's nintendo, so we probably shouldn't get our hopes up on multiplayer lol

[@CrowLady0_0]

@@idontwantahandlethough on the bright side, it's probably gonna be easier for modders to put it in from the experience of now!

[@Naterkix]

We'll probably have to wait for Breath of the Kingdom's Four Swords for that and who knows when that will be.

[@RedsByrd]

@@idontwantahandlethough doesnt seem fair to blame that on Nintendo. Considering that modders are only able to make it run because they have pc with wat more power than the switch, and the only open world game of botws caliber with true multiplayer was ass creed unity which was… ass

[@jebalitabb8228]

@@RedsByrd we shouldn’t blame Nintendo for the switch being so weak??? And clearly you haven’t played AC:U, on pc it actually performs really well

[@GamingReinvented]

Hmm, I wonder if an Iron Sledgehammer would work well here? It's got an effect that causes it to do 4x usual damage against ore deposits, including those used as weakpoints by Stone Taluses. So if you boost it to +120 damage with glitches or hacks, and use attack up armour, that might JUST about make this guy's health manageable to deal with. Either way, interesting video, and one that makes us imagine what a REAL Talus Titan would be like (and not just the one in the vanilla game's DLC)

[@TheRealMagicBananaz]

The great cobblestone crusher has the same effect with a higher base damage

[@catalyst539]

[@galaxygamer2220]

BoTW needed something like this: huge bosses that render from far away. The same way a player is intrigued to explore based on the landscape, they should also be by what roams upon it. Hinox and Lynels are great, but I want something *bigger* , and hopefully a worthy opponent as well. All things we hope to get in its sequel

[@dudenotsoperfect9366]

Curious, do bombs/bomb arrows still work on his limbs? Also holy crap, I love how it got struck by lightning JUST as stowgee hit it right with an ancient arrow before you finished it this was so cool

[@Naterkix]

I hope something similar to that shows up in TotK. There's that clip of a Moblin base attached to a Talus so maybe between that and the game's massive increase in potential verticality will give someone the idea for Big Ol' Talus, Master of Bigness or some other Shadow of the Colossus shenanigans. Oooh, maybe we can get a crossover where Link and Wander test who's the best climber and see who's hand snaps off first from the strain of being flung and flapped around a skyscraper-size-monster's head at mach 4 while desperately hanging on in the hopes of stabbin' the Glowy Bit.

[@SilentDecepticon]

When defeated, this thing should drop enough gems for Link to open his own jewelry store.

[@RazoE]

"I'M COMING!" I actually laughed out loud 😂

[@bluezaton]

This is the kind a monsters Link needs to be facing against time to time, BOTW definitely lacked larger than life bosses. Awesome to see this.

[@thetophatguyandroid5959]

Such an amazing fun video seeing the titan rock actually being huge was amazing I hope they have huge things like that in tears of the kingdom since botw had only dragons you couldn't ride and machines that acted like dungeons

[@lunchtime2960]

This should definitely be in TOTK. Beef those rocks up. Giga Talus. Even 2x size would be cool. But 3x 5x 7x & 10x versions would be incredible. With the different varieties and with the monster camps on them. Now that would be sick af. But the camera definitely needs to be fixed

[@milocuzyno9330]

As awesome as this is, why aint no one talking about the absolute perfect timing that arrow shot was at 9 minutes ten seconds tho Soon as it hit, a lightning bolt hit the ground at the same time

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Oh wow, you aren't wrong! I feel like somehow the lag caused that to happen. Like the lag forced both the animations to play at the same time even though they might not have normally. Or maybe not lol

[@krisiskitsunegamer2967]

I think you could exploit it with mid air arrows so you can shoot more arrows within a small amount of time, my personal preference for a bow is the savage lynel bow because not only does one single shot would use 5 arrows for the price of on but it would mean a well aimed shot can count as 5 individual arrow damage. So you can take advantage of both your stamina amount as well as ravalie’s scale to be able to send out a barrage of bomb arrows or guardian arrows to be able to do a huge amount of damage. This was my way to destroy savage lynels in a short period of time in order to harvest their equipment.
