| Quest type | Main Quest |
|---|---|
| Region | Hyrule Ridge, near New Serenne Stable (Central Hyrule) |
| Giver | Cado |
| Start | Talk to Cado, a traveler with a pack horse in Hyrule Field; he sends you to Impa at New Serenne Stable |
| Prerequisite | Regional Phenomena started; Ultrahand and the Paraglider |
| Reward | Memory 3, “Where Am I?”, and the follow-up main quest The Dragon’s Tears |
Impa is studying the geoglyphs, the giant ground drawings that appeared across Hyrule. Reattach the balloon envelope to her broken balloon with Ultrahand, light the burner, ride up to see the geoglyph, then paraglide down to the Dragon’s Tear at its centre.
How to start Impa and the Geoglyphs
Find Cado, a traveler standing on a boulder beside his pack horse on the road in central Hyrule, and talk to him. He tells you that Impa is investigating the geoglyphs and should be at New Serenne Stable now. Head there; Sinakawak Shrine is the nearest fast-travel point.
Walkthrough
Find Impa’s balloon
Impa waits on a raised stone platform in the field outside New Serenne Stable, where the grass is marked with giant swirling geoglyph lines. A campfire burns on the platform beside her balloon basket. Climb the stone steps and talk to her. She explains that the wind sheared the balloon right off its base.
Reattach the balloon
The torn-off balloon envelope lies in the grass at the foot of the platform. Select Ultrahand, grab it and lift it onto the platform, then hold it above the basket and press Attach once the highlighted outline lines up. Talk to Impa and agree to go and see the geoglyph with her.
Light the burner
Impa asks you to light a fire so the balloon floats. Light a torch or other flammable weapon at the platform campfire and carry the flame to the burner in the basket. The balloon fills with hot air and lifts off the platform.
Glide down to the geoglyph
Once you are high above the ground, Impa talks about the Dragon’s Tears and suggests you float down with a paraglider. Step off the basket, open your paraglider and steer over the giant lines toward the circular swirl at the centre, which is the geoglyph’s eye.
Touch the Dragon’s Tear
Land beside the swirl. The Dragon’s Tear glows above the circular dip in the grass. Walk up to it and press the prompt to collect it and start the memory.
Reward
The memory “Where Am I?” plays and the quest ends with you at the geoglyph. Impa joins you on the grass and says the geoglyphs and Dragon’s Tears seem to point toward the princess. She suggests that something at the Forgotten Temple, at the bottom of a canyon in Hebra, is connected, so continue with The Dragon’s Tears. You can replay the memory from the Memories tab of the Adventure Log.
Tips
- Keep the balloon envelope upright when you attach it, and wait for the glowing outline before confirming.
- Bring a torch or another weapon that burns, so you can light the burner from the platform campfire.
- Paraglide straight toward the swirl at the centre of the lines; the Dragon’s Tear is right on it.
- The Dragon’s Tears quest asks you to find the other geoglyphs, so note where this one is.
