Walkthrough
Hear Bolson’s plan
Talk to Bolson on the beach in Lurelin Village once the village is clear. He plans to use the village’s palm trees as central pillars, so the logs he needs must come from other trees. He asks for 15 logs and 20 Hylian Rice.
Collect 15 logs
Cut down pine or other non-palm trees on the hills around Lurelin. Stack the logs together with Ultrahand and carry them down in one bundle, or pile them on a cart or raft. Do not use palm logs; they will not count.
Collect Hylian Rice and deliver the materials
Hylian Rice can be bought in bundles at the Hateno General Store, or gathered by cutting grass in wet regions. Drop off the logs and rice with Bolson. He starts preparing the foundations while you wait.
Help repair the buildings
Bolson takes you through the five damaged buildings: three businesses and two houses. For most, cut a straight palm tree next to the building and place its log as the central pillar, as Bolson directs. The inn, an overturned boat hull, works differently, so follow his instructions when you reach it. When every building is repaired the quest finishes.
Rewards
The villagers give you free access to the village’s facilities from then on: a free night at the inn, one free restaurant meal per day, and one free play of the Lucky Treasure Shop game per day. Each repaired building also pays out once (item lists vary slightly between guides):
| Building | What to do | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Lucky Treasure Shop | Climb high and thread the straight palm log through the hole into the pot | Bomb Flower x5 |
| Inn | Fish the wreckage out of the flooded ruins (climb the ship and pull pieces out) so Bolson can drain it | Voltfruit x5 |
| Restaurant | Move the boxes out, then place the log from above | Tough Seafood Rice, and a new dish on the menu |
| Armes’ House | Trickiest placement; clear nearby trees or get high | Purple Rupee (50 rupees), plus chests inside |
| Chief’s House | Move the crate off the roof, then place the log from high up | Armored Porgy x3 |
Completing the project also opens the side quests A Way to Trade, Washed Away and Dad’s Blue Shirt.
Tips
- Pine thickets on the cliffs near Sifumim Shrine (and north of Tuft Mountain in Atun Valley) are the easiest source of logs. Trees regrow once you move away, and Treant enemies also drop logs.
- Hylian Rice is sold in bundles of five at general stores such as Hateno, Lookout Landing, Zora’s Domain, Goron City and Korok Forest, and Beedle sometimes stocks it.
