Tears of the Kingdom has some of the strangest enemy types ever conceived in a Zelda game, and on top of that, some of the weirdest ways to defeat them. I mean, I get some of the design choices in this game but walking trees is a bit of a push, especially considering the methods players must follow in order to kill them.
These trees are known as Evermean in the universe and disguise themselves as Trees or Fruit Trees to attack the player out of nowhere when you get too close to them.
Normal attacks won’t do anything to damage them which leads a lot of players to run away from them at first—until you come across Hetsu, who basically demands you kill them to unlock the ability to increase your item slots.

So what do you need to do to bring these trees down?
How to defeat Evermean walking trees in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
One way to deal damage to the Evermean walking trees is via fire damage. This can be done in a number of ways, including:
- Combining fire items with your arrows
- Throwing items like Fire Fruit
- Using Ruby-fused weapons
There is a caveat to this, however. If it’s raining at any time when fighting Evermean then the rain will stop the trees from catching on fire—period. This basically means the trees will be indestructible.

The only other way to chop them down is with an Axe weapon or a weapon usually used to chop down trees. Fire damage still seems like the best solution though, as we found trying to chop them doesn’t always work for some reason. Granted, we were likely using the wrong weapon type and it wouldn’t be the first time we did something stupid in this game.
