When you defeat every Hinox, you are presented with a medal by Kilton in somber honor, acknowledging the significant accomplishment of ending the lives of these formidable creatures, which is never an easy task but sometimes a necessary one. The Hinox medal serves as a reward for your bravery and skill, surpassing the value of Hestu’s Gift, and it’s a notable achievement considering there are four types of Hinox: Hinox, Blue Hinox, Black Hinox, and Stalnox.
