Walkthrough
Hear Penn’s report and find the den
Talk to Penn, the Rito reporter at Foothill Stable (the quest only appears once you have started Potential Princess Sightings from the Lucky Clover Gazette in Hebra). Follow the road toward Death Mountain, past the signs and the springs, and look for the skull-covered Foothill Monster Den at (2275, 1520, 157), north of the Maw of Death Mountain. Two Zonai Survey Team members stand shivering in their underpants at the entrance and agree to look after your gear while you go in.
Clear the den with no gear
You enter wearing only your underpants, with no weapons, so scavenge what the monsters left lying around, mostly clubs, spears and bows on the right-hand side of the den. Fuse spare materials onto them to raise their damage, steal a bow from a Bokoblin for the ranged work, and fight until the Monster Forces gauge empties. The armoured monster needs a hammer-type weapon or a rock fused to a weapon to break its armour, and the tall Moblin throws small Bokoblins at you, so beat the small ones (especially the archer) first and then whittle the Moblin down. Weapons fused with horns do extra damage.
Report to the Survey Team and to Penn
Walk out and speak to the Survey Team members at the entrance; they ask you to return to Foothill Stable. There they tell the story to everyone and Penn, who confirms that the princess’s real order was to “explore all other paths”, pays you 50 rupees (a Purple Rupee) for the scoop. Back at the Gazette, Traysi then gives you the next lead in that questline.
Rewards
50 rupees (a Purple Rupee) and a Froggy Sleeve from Penn, plus whatever weapons you pick up in the den.
Tips
- Flint fused to an arrow adds extra damage against the armoured monster.
- Healing is scarce inside, so eat before you strip down and use stealth where you can.
