Silver Boss Bokoblin Horn
The Silver Boss Bokoblin Horn is a potent monster part in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Fusing it to a weapon adds 37 Fuse Attack Power, and it also has uses in elixirs and armor enhancement.
Key Takeaways
Fuse material, not a standalone moveset
Silver Boss Bokoblin Horn is a monster part whose combat use comes from fusing it to another weapon; it does not provide an independent melee moveset.
High offensive Fuse contribution
The documented Fuse Attack Power is 37, making the horn a substantial attack-power addition to a host weapon. This is the material’s displayed Fuse value, not the finished weapon’s total attack.
Dropped by Silver Boss Bokoblins
Obtaining the horn requires defeating its source enemy, the Silver Boss Bokoblin. Its availability therefore depends on reaching encounters where that enemy appears.
Its value depends on the host weapon
The horn’s offensive benefit is realized through Fuse, so the resulting weapon also depends on the base weapon and its weapon-class behavior rather than on the horn alone.
A combat material with noncombat uses
Although primarily useful for strengthening fused weapons, the horn can also serve as an ingredient for elixirs and as a material for enhancing certain armor pieces.
Overview
Silver Boss Bokoblin Horn is a potent monster part in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, primarily used through Fuse rather than wielded as an independent melee weapon.
The horn comes from the Silver Boss Bokoblin, the strongest stated variant of the Boss Bokoblin. Its circular, serrated shape and tied strap distinguish it visually from ordinary Bokoblin horns, while its combat value comes from adding attack power to a fused weapon. It is therefore a material choice for upgrading existing gear, not a weapon with its own moveset or durability.
How to Obtain
- Reach the late-game enemy scaling needed for Silver Boss Bokoblins to appear.
- No DLC, NG+, or one-per-playthrough requirement is established.
- 01Defeat a Silver Boss Bokoblin in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and collect the monster material it drops. Silver Boss Bokoblins appear in high-level enemy encounters, including late-game areas; no vendor, quest reward, or separate DLC route is required.
- 02The specific encounter location is not fixed here. Search late-game Silver Boss Bokoblin camps on the Surface or in the Depths, then repeat other eligible encounters if the material is not obtained.
Mechanics and Handling
Silver Boss Bokoblin Horn is a Fuse material rather than a standalone weapon, so it has no independent attack sequence, charge attack, parry behaviour, or weapon skill. Its handling comes from the melee weapon that receives it. A fused one-handed weapon remains quick and compact, while a two-handed weapon or spear retains that host's slower or longer-reaching moveset.
The horn contributes 37 Fuse Attack Power to the fused weapon. This is an added displayed attack contribution, not a replacement for the host weapon's own attack value. The resulting weapon can also inherit the horn's serrated visual form, but its practical spacing and hit coverage remain governed by the host weapon and its class. Because the horn is a material, it cannot be thrown or used as ammunition independently.
Fusion and durability
Fuse increases durability as part of the fusion system, but the horn's attack contribution should not be treated as a durability value. The final weapon's break state depends on the host weapon, its existing condition, and the fusion context; this page does not assign a horn-specific durability bonus without verified data. Replacing or removing the fused weapon changes the relevant host item rather than giving the horn a separate moveset.
Choosing a host weapon
Use a host whose handling already suits the intended fight. A fast one-handed weapon lets the added attack power be applied through shorter attack commitments, while a spear or two-handed weapon can make better use of its own reach or sweeping attacks. The horn does not create a special status effect or conditional multiplier by itself, so comparisons should focus on the host weapon's reach, speed, durability state, and available weapon traits.
Upgrades and Variants
Strengths, Weaknesses and Best Uses
Strengths
- Adds a substantial Fuse Attack Power contribution when attached to a melee weapon, improving the resulting weapon's offensive output.
- The horn's serrated shape gives the fused weapon a distinct material appearance while preserving the base weapon's role and moveset.
Weaknesses
- It is a Fuse material rather than a standalone weapon, so it requires a suitable base weapon and is consumed when fused.
- Using the horn for a weapon competes with its other material uses, including armor enhancement and elixir preparation.
Best uses
- Fuse it to a melee weapon when the priority is increasing attack power for difficult combat encounters.
- Reserve it for an important or durable base weapon rather than treating it as a reusable weapon on its own.
- Use spare horns for armor upgrades or elixirs when immediate combat damage is not the priority.
Lore and Design
The Silver Boss Bokoblin Horn’s item description presents it as a circular, serrated horn with a neatly tied strap and arcane power. Its appearance and provenance connect it directly to the Silver Boss Bokoblin, identified as the strongest form of that enemy within the Boss Bokoblin line. No documented developer commentary or broader story relationship is established here.
