Keese

The Keese is a small nocturnal bat with just 1 health and 4 attack. Its erratic flight makes it annoying rather than dangerous, and a single hit of any kind destroys it. It drops Keese Wings and Keese Eyeballs.

Where to find it

Found in Hyrule Field and East Necluda, and often in caves and at night.

Behavior

Keese flutter in loose, unpredictable arcs and dive at you. They often appear in groups, where each bat hits slightly harder, for 6 attack. They are weak enough that one swing clears several if they bunch up.

How to beat it

Wait for the dive

Hold your position and swing as the Keese swoops in; its path becomes readable once it commits.

Clear the swarm

Use a wide sweeping weapon or a bomb so one attack hits several bats at once.

Weaknesses

  • Anything kills it in one hit, including arrows.
  • Elemental attacks are unnecessary.
