Chilfos

Chilfos are enemies in. They are warriors that appear to consist of animated bones made of ice.

Characteristics and Weaknesses
Chilfos are found in the Snowpeak Ruins and in the Cave of Ordeals. They carry large, spear-like icicles that they use as two-handed weapons against Link in hand-to-hand combat. Chilfos also throw the icicles as javelins to attack Link from a distance. They can be taken out in two hits with Bomb Arrows or with a single swing of the Ball and Chain.

An useful strategy to defeat a Chilfos is to keep a distance away from it, so it attempts to impale Link by throwing an ice javelin at him. Once it breaks against Link's Shield, the Chilfos will take a few moments to reconstruct a new icicle, at which point Link will be able to successfully slice at the Chilfos with his Sword. A Chilfos can also be killed instantly by performing a Helm Splitter, Jump Strike, or a Back Slice upon it.

Link's Crossbow Training
In, Chilfos appear on Level 6 Snowpeak Ruins: Ranger. Like their Twilight Princess appearance, Chilfos continue to take on the form of a Javelin-Spear throwing ice warriors who attempt to damage Link by throwing their icicle spears at him if he is in their sight range, as well as swing their spears if Link gets too close to them. They can also respawn their spears appears after throwing or having it destroyed after attempting to defend themselves from Link's crossbow shots, however, they can be taken out by one charged up Bomb Arrow.
