Hinox locations in Tears of the Kingdom

Hinoxes can be found all across Hyrule, both on the surface and in the Depths. As if that wasn’t enough, you can find a skeletal version of these beasts at night and in the Depths known as a Stalnox. We’ve compiled a list of the location of every Hinox and Stalnox in the game to help make your hunting much more efficient.

Be aware that as you progress through the game, the difficulty of the enemies you face increases. This means that while we may have listed a regular Hinox in a particular location, depending on your progress it could be blue or even black in your game. While this poses a greater challenge, you’ll also get higher-quality drops, so it’s a double-edged sword.

How do you defeat a Hinox?

There is a very simply strategy to take down a Hinox. If you shoot an arrow at its eye, it will knock the Hinox off its feet, giving you time to deal damage to it. Simply repeat this until the Hinox is dead. Sometimes, Hinoxes can have armour around their legs, and even block their eyes from your arrows. In these instances, using Fused materials such as bomb or shock arrows can make up for this, dealing big damage and giving you the chance to hit their eye again.

What do Hinoxes drop?

As well as potentially dropping a variety of weapons and food, Hinoxes have four main drops specific to them. These are the Hinox Guts, Hinox Horn, Hinot Toenail, and Hinox Tooth. Each of these is a powerful ingredient in Tears of the Kingdom elixir recipes in their own right and can be used to make some strong elixirs with long durations.

More importantly, they are also used as materials to upgrade the Fierce Deity armour set. This is one of the most powerful armour sets in the game, with each piece providing a +3 Attack Up buff, and the set as a whole providing a Charge Attack Stamina increase. As such, Hinox parts will be hugely sought after when it comes to the late game to make sure you’re upgrading this set to its full potential.

Hinox Guts specifically are also required for the first tier of upgrades for the Ancient Hero’s armour set. This is a late-game set only obtained by completing all of the Tears of the Kingdom Shrines, so most players probably won’t end up getting this set.
