Stone Talus (Senior)
The Stone Talus (Senior) is a Sub-Boss in Breath of the Wild.[1]
Characteristics
The Stone Talus (Senior) is a unique Stone Talus that can be found on North Dueling Peaks. Like other Taluses, the Stone Talus (Senior) disguises itself as a natural rock formation, but it will rise and begin to attack Link if he approaches.[2] It has an Ore Deposit sticking out of its right side, which serves as its weak spot.[2] Link can reach the Ore Deposit by Climbing the side of the Stone Talus (Senior), or he can alternatively shoot at it with an Arrow.[2] When a Blood Moon occurs, the Stone Talus (Senior) will be revived if it has previously been defeated.
After Link defeats Calamity Ganon, Kilton will ask him to defeat every Stone Talus in Hyrule, allowing him to analyze the scent of the fluids they leave behind.[3] This includes the Stone Talus (Senior). Once Link achieves this goal, Kilton will reward him with the Medal of Honor: Talus.[4]

This enormous monster is naturally camouflaged as a rock formation. Neither sword nor arrow can pierce its stony form, but a cunning adventurer knows to scale its body and attack the ore sprouting from its peak.

I'm currently after them myself, but they're just so big! I can't even get near them... So could I ask you to find them and, uh, harvest their materials? I'm talking all of them. That way, I'll be able to analyze the scent of their fluids that will inevitably stick to your body during battle. That will allow me to determine their habits, behaviors, and overall qualities. I'm counting on you...
