The Hinox is the base version of the giant cyclops. It is found asleep and wears weapons on a necklace you can steal from. It has 600 health and is the easiest of its family. Aim for the eye with arrows to knock it down, then hit it while it is on the ground.

Behavior

It sleeps until it notices you. Once awake it stomps, swings its arms and rips trees out of the ground to swing or throw. Once its health falls below half, it covers its eye with its hands.

How to beat it

Approach quietly

Sneak toward the sleeping giant. You can take weapons from its necklace without waking it.

Shoot the eye

Fire an arrow into the eye. It is stunned and falls, staying down for several seconds.

Strike while it is down

Run in and use your best weapon on its head. Back away before it gets up.

Handle the tree

If it grabs a tree, stay far away, since the reach is wide. Shoot the eye again to stop it.

Drops

  • Hinox Toenail, Hinox Tooth and Hinox Guts
  • Fruit such as Apple, Wildberry, Palm Fruit, Voltfruit, Mighty Bananas, Fortified Pumpkin and Hearty Durian
