| Region | Eldin Volcano |
|---|---|
| Location | A clifftop beside a small hot spring above the sea, a short walk up the canyon from Goron City’s entrance (past the Goron Race start) |
| Quest giver | Seko, a young Goron (his dialogue has no name tag; his brother Disian names him) |
| Available | After clearing Eldin Temple |
| You’ll need | Crow echo |
| Reward | 10 Rock Salt (a smoothie ingredient that restores energy) |
A young Goron wants to master the “glider ride” his big brother promised to do with him, and needs someone to show him how. The course is a glide down the cliff face past columns of steam to a flag on a ledge below, and the only rule is that you can’t touch the ground. A Crow echo carries you the whole way. Finishing it immediately unlocks the harder follow-up, Glide Path Trailblazer.

How to Start
From the Goron Race start in front of Goron City, follow the canyon past the little green hot spring and up onto the clifftop overlooking the sea, where a young Goron by another hot spring sulks “But he promised…” Talk to him: “My brother said he’d do the glider ride with me, but now he won’t play at all!” He’s going to “master the glider ride on my own. That’ll show him!”, but it’s hard, and he wants someone to show him how. Pick “I’ll show you.” (“YAY! Thank you, miss!”) and the side quest Glide Path begins.
Walkthrough
Step 1: Learn the course and the rule
A preview follows the route: off the clifftop and down the cliff face, past white columns of rising steam and fiery monsters clinging to the rock, to a red flag on a small ledge at the bottom. Back at the white start line, the young Goron gives the rule: “You gotta glide without touching the ground all the way from here to the flag. If you touch the ground, you gotta start over! Ready? GO!”
Step 2: Glide down on a Crow
Standing on the start line, summon a Crow echo and grab hold of it; it lifts you and carries you out over the drop, with a Release prompt on screen. Steer down the cliff between the steam columns and away from the monsters on the ledges, keep holding on, and only let go once you’re over the flag’s ledge. If you drop early or land anywhere else you have to restart from the top.
Step 3: Land on the flag
Touch down on the flag and the young Goron joins you on the ledge: “Wow! You were great!” and “You glided smooth and strong, just like my brother does!” He’s so impressed he wants to give you something in return.
Reward
“Lemme give you my snack as a thank-you!” “You got 10 portions of rock salt!” Rock Salt is a smoothie ingredient that restores some energy when used in a drink (see Smoothies). He says watching you “has given me lots of pointers,” and now he just has to master his moves “before the next time my big bro wants to play!” The Side Quest Complete banner appears back on the clifftop, and “Big Brother…” floats over his head: talk to him again to meet his brother and start Glide Path Trailblazer.
Tips
- The Crow is the echo for both glide courses here; there’s no need to bring anything else.
- Don’t wander off after the reward: the follow-up quest starts on the same clifftop and pays 2 Might Crystals.
- The clifftop is right beside the Ready? Set? Goron! race, so it’s easy to do both on one trip out of Goron City.
