Stone Arrghus is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. He serves as the final boss of Eastern Hyrule, guarding the Yellow Maiden. The appearance of Stone Arrghus is that of a spherical stony eyeball. Surrounding the central eye are many small rocks that guard it. To attack, Stone Arrghus flies around the room and spins the small stones surrounding it.

[edit] Battle

To defeat Stone Arrghus, Link must first fall down one of the holes in the ground to obtain the Boomerang. The Boomerang can be used to pull the stones away from the central eyeball, making them vulnerable to a sword.

Once all the small rocks have been destroyed, the central eye becomes bloodshot and vulnerable. It jumps up and slams down, sending out shockwaves. If Link is too close he will be temporarily stunned. Stone Arrghus will then move diagonally around the room until Link attacks him with his sword. The process repeats until Stone Arrghus has taken enough damage and explodes, leaving behind Force Gems. After breaking the barrier in the next room, the second maiden, the Yellow Maiden, is freed.
