Quest: A Monstrous Collection (Part of the broader Koltin questline)
Location: Varies, often near Tarrey Town or other stables/settlements at night during later stages.
Quest Giver: Koltin (the Bubbul Gem enthusiast)
Closing in on Satori-hood!
So, you’re deep into Koltin’s weird quest to become a Satori by collecting Bubbul Gems. This guide focuses on finding him during the later stages when you’ve already given him a bunch of gems. He becomes a bit nomadic!
Finding Koltin Late-Game:
- Night Owl: Koltin only appears at nighttime. His unique, colorful hot-air balloon shop is your main visual cue.
- Ask His Brother: Koltin’s brother, Kilton, sets up shop permanently on the outskirts of Tarrey Town (on the north side, near the pond). Talk to Kilton anytime, and he can usually give you a hint about Koltin’s current location for the night (e.g., “He mentioned heading towards the Gerudo region,” or “He was looking near Eldin”).
- Check Likely Spots: Based on Kilton’s hint (or just by searching), look for Koltin’s balloon at night near the entrances of stables or just outside major towns/settlements (Tarrey Town itself is a very common spot for his later appearances).
Your Mission: The Final Gem Trades:
Locate Kilton: Head to Tarrey Town and find Kilton (usually near the pond on the north edge of town). Ask him about Koltin’s whereabouts to get a regional clue.
Wait for Night: Find a safe spot and wait by a campfire or sleep at an inn until nighttime (around 9:00 PM onwards).
Travel and Search: Go to the region Kilton mentioned (or start with likely spots like Tarrey Town or major stables). Look for Koltin’s distinctive, brightly lit balloon on the horizon.
Find Koltin: Once you spot the balloon, head towards it. Koltin will be there with his shop set up.
Trade Bubbul Gems: Talk to Koltin. He’ll tell you how many Bubbul Gems he needs for the next reward. If you have enough, trade them in.
Receive Reward: He’ll give you the next item, usually a piece of the Mystic Armor set.
Repeat: Keep repeating steps 1-6. Find Kilton for clues (Koltin moves after each trade!), wait for night, hunt Koltin down, and trade more gems until you’ve given him the total required amount for all his unique items. The final reward after receiving the full Mystic set is Koltin’s Fabric for your paraglider.
The Payoff:
Completing the entire chain by giving Koltin all the Bubbul Gems he desires nets you:
- The full Mystic Armor Set (Head, Chest, Trousers) – lets you lose Rupees instead of health when hit. Handle with care!
- Koltin’s Fabric – a unique paraglider design.
- Witnessing Koltin’s… ultimate transformation. It’s something.
Keep hunting those Bubbulfrogs in caves! Almost there!
