The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features tons of new and returning enemy types you will encounter during your journey throughout Hyrule. Bokoblins are a common enemy found in the world, however, the Silver Bokoblin is a rarer, more dangerous variant.
As their names suggest, Silver Bokoblins are white in color and have purple markings all over their body. They also sport a long antenna-like horn with a yellow tip on the top of their heads—not unlike an anglerfish.
Silver Bokoblins dish out significantly more damage than your average Bokoblin. Without proper equipment, these enemies can make short work of Link. I have had the most success by taking Silver Bokoblins out from a distance with fused arrows. I would also recommend trying your best to parry and use your Flurry Rush ability if you have to get closer to the Silver Bokoblin.

Though fighting Silver Bokoblins is a challenge, finding them will be your first hurdle. If you’re trying to find a Silver Bokoblin, here’s where you need to go.
Silver Bokoblin guide Tears of the Kingdom
Silver Bokoblins will appear throughout Hyrule. Gradually, more will continue to appear as you gain more strength, weapons, and armor.
One area where I have consistently found Silver Bokoblins is a Bokoblin encampment near the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower at coordinates 3352, -2114, 0119. These stronghold structures will typically have a boss-like Bokoblin, which will often appear as a Silver Bokoblin.
Once you find these Silver Bokoblin bosses, beat them like any enemy to get them to drop monster parts. In addition to the fangs and guts other Bokoblins drop, the Silver Bokoblins will also drop a Silver Bokoblin Horn, an item with 31 Fuse Attack Power that makes for a great choice when fusing with arrows or melee weapons.
“A large, blade-like horn with a unique flourish on the tip. It’s sharper than it looks,” the item’s description reads. “Attach it to a weapon to vastly increase attack power, or cook it with a critter to make an elixir.”

You can also find Silver Bokoblins, as well as other silver variations of enemies, around The Depths. The Zi-ner Lightroot, found at coordinates 0698, 1013, -0461 is another spot that usually features one or two Silver Bokoblins. I’d even check these locations just for variety as I was collecting Silver Bokoblins Horns. Similarly, I also found one Silver Bokoblin in the Gerudo Desert, at a small camp at coordinates -4435, -2244, 0054.
Be wary before approaching any of these sites, as Silver Bokoblins are much stronger than their regular counterparts in TOTK. Make sure to level up your health plenty so you can withstand a few hits from these fearsome foes.
