A Stalnox appears only at night: “these skeletal beasts appear at nighttime”, says the game. The exception is the Stalnox in the Hyrule Castle Lockup, which the game data places there at any hour (Hyrule Castle walkthrough).

How do you beat a Hinox?

A Hinox with weapons hanging from its necklace — A Hinox wears weapons on its necklace; “a deft hand can steal weapons off the necklaces they wear” (the game’s description).

What hangs there is fixed per Hinox. Four of them wear a Royal Broadsword and a Royal Bow (listed on weapon farming), and the Blue Hinox near Digdogg Suspension Bridge wears a Moonlight Scimitar; the Stalnox on Oseira Plains carries one too. Whatever you have not stolen drops when the Hinox falls, and the necklace returns with it after a Blood Moon.

Link aiming at the Hinox's single eye — Shoot the eye ①. That deals heavy damage and knocks it down for a few seconds — run in and hit it with your strongest weapon.

The Hinox holding a hand in front of its face — Once its health drops far enough it guards the eye with a hand ①. Freeze it with Stasis+, then shoot the eye.

The Hinox doubled over while Link attacks — Every knockdown is a chance to attack.

Leg armor changes things. The game says Blue Hinox “wear greaves that can be burnt away to expose their feet”, and Black Hinox “wear metal greaves that conduct electricity rather well”. Set wooden greaves alight and the Hinox flails trying to put them out; shock metal ones with a Thunderblade or a Shock Arrow to stun it.

Rates are from the game’s drop tables. What Hinox Guts are for is on the Hinox Guts page.

Drops scattered on the grass after the Hinox falls — After the fight the drops lie scattered: food plus Hinox parts. The kind of food tells you which Hinox it was (see the table above).

How do you get the Medal of Honor: Hinox?

Beat every Hinox, Blue Hinox, Black Hinox and Stalnox at least once, then talk to Kilton at the Fang and Bone; he hands over the Medal of Honor: Hinox. It has no use beyond bragging rights. There are matching medals for Taluses and Moldugas.
