Walkthrough
Collect the seven orbs
Rotana gives you her orb in the shelter. Six more lie around the desert: one in the shelter’s sleeping quarters, in a hollow above the beds (use Ascend from below or climb the ladder); one in the room beside the shelter jail, among the pillows; one among supply boxes by the Gerudo Town entrance, near a Gerudo Spear; one buried under sand on the rooftops on the town’s southeast side (blow the sand away with a Zonai Fan or Korok Leaf); Dalia’s from Dalia’s Game; and Ponthos’ from Lost in the Dunes at Kara Kara Bazaar. Each orb has a symbol matching one of the seven statues. Rotana may hand you a Hydromelon as you bring her orbs.
Place the orbs on the heroine statues
Carry each orb to the hall of seven stone statues in the eastern part of the shelter and place it in the hands of the statue that matches its symbol. When all seven are home, a path opens to a hidden room.
Take the giant orb from the hidden room
Inside is a giant orb, the key to an underground sanctuary beneath the North Gerudo Ruins. It is too heavy to carry by hand, so build a vehicle with Ultrahand, fans and wheels, or lift it with Zonai devices up the stairs.
Carry the giant orb to the North Gerudo Ruins
Haul the orb out of Gerudo Town and across the dunes to the North Gerudo Ruins, then set it in the socket at the entrance to the underground chamber. The locked door opens and reveals the path to the sanctuary.
Cross the Gerudo Sanctuary to the stela
Light the dark rooms with Brightbloom Seeds, move the tiles and boards blocking the path with Ultrahand (in the three-board room move the left one; the middle hides a Gibdo), break the rocks with a blunt weapon, and dash across the crumbling stone bridge to reach the Statue of the Eighth Heroine room at the end. Gibdos and Chuchus roam the tunnels. The stela records that the eighth hero was a Hylian voe who saved Gerudo Town long ago. The room holds a full set of Gerudo gear (Gerudo Shield, Scimitar, Bow, Spear and Claymore; scaling gear, so the tier depends on your progress), a Ruby, Sapphire and Topaz, and a chest with a Gold Rupee (300 rupees). Guides say the room restocks after a Blood Moon. Along the way you can also find a Bubbulfrog and a Giant Brightbloom Seed.
Report to Rotana
Return to Rotana in Gerudo Town. She is delighted, promises to list you as a co-author in her expedition report, and gives you a Diamond.
