Tears of the Kingdom: How to farm Hinox Guts
Hinox aren’t very hard enemies to fight in Tears of the Kingdom. All you need to do islaunch an arrow into their eyeto stun them and follow it up with plenty of melee attacks. That means farming them isn’t too annoying.
Unfortunately, Hinox Guts are afairly rare dropfrom these guys. Most of the time you’ll find plenty of Hinox Toenails and a Tooth here and there. But depending on the kind of Hinox you fight, Guts may be quite elusive.
Red Hinox are themost common type of these enemies, and while they can drop Guts, it’s rare.Black Hinoxhave ahigher chance to drop Guts, but since they’re tougher to kill they’re harder to grind. So, the best way to farm Hinox Guts is by saving before encountering a Hinox.
That way you can just reload your save if the Guts don’t drop. But once you’ve killed a Hinox in an area,it won’t respawn until the next Blood Moon appears. Luckily, there are plenty of places to find them. Check the map below for some of the easiest spots to find Hinox.
This isn’t the location of every Hinox in Tears of the Kingdom by any means, as there are around 50 Hinox scattered across the map. But this rotation is doable no matter how far into the game you are. Just ensure tosave the game before fighting a Hinoxso you’re able to try the encounter again. Then you can wait for another Blood Moon to occur before farming them again. Once you have enough, you canstart upgrading armoror creating elixirs.
