TotK Evermeans: How to Spot Them, Weakness, Drops, Locations

The Hyrule Compendium calls the Evermean “a monster that mimics a tree, found throughout the forests of Hyrule”. They are hard to tell from the real thing, which makes it easy for them to team up and pounce on passersby. This page uses the game’s data for the Evermean’s HP, weak points and the drops of its three looks in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and maps all 363 spawns. Other monsters are in the enemy overview.

What does an Evermean look like?

Standing still, an Evermean is a tree. Get close and it pulls its roots out of the ground and walks at you on its trunk and roots.

The game’s placement and drop data show three looks:

The Depths kind is said to mimic the Depths’ large fungi and ferns, often coated in Gloom.

How do you beat an Evermean?

A loading tip says: “These tree-mimicking creatures hate fire. Blunt weapons won’t do much against them; just like with real trees, an axe is called for here.” The damage settings agree:

• Chop it. It only takes damage from cutting and sweeping attacks, tree-cutting, bombs and environmental destruction; everything else is nullified, so clubs and hammers do nothing. Swords and axes work best.
• Arrows do no damage. The arrow multiplier is 0. To fight from range, fuse a Fire Fruit to the arrow and set it alight.
• Bombs do 100 times damage. The bomb multiplier is 100, far higher than anything else.
• Burn it. It catches fire: 10 damage when ignited, then it keeps burning.
• Shock and ice do nothing. It does not conduct electricity or freeze, so both deal 0. A lightning strike deals 999,999.

It is said that the camera can pick out an Evermean before it starts moving.

What does an Evermean drop?

Every Evermean leaves an Evermean Log. The rest depends on the look:

Chances are from the game’s drop tables; a roll is one draw from that row, and items in one cell are alternatives in the same roll. For Golden Apples look for the fruit-tree kind; all three drop Sturdy Thick Sticks.

Where do Evermeans spawn?

This is the game’s placement data.

• On the surface, Hyrule Field (37) and Necluda (31) have the most, then Lanayru 12, the Great Hyrule Forest 11 and Akkala 9. Korok Forest, the Forest of Time, the West Hyrule Plains, Whistling Hill and Uten Marsh have 4 each.
• In the Depths, they cluster under Hyrule Field (95), Necluda (66) and the Great Hyrule Forest (42). The places above with the most are Applean Forest 26, Dalite Forest 23 and Lake Saria 21.
