|---|---|
| Giver | Dalia |
| Starts in | Gerudo Town, near the Gerudo Shelter |
| Requirements | Gerudo Town open after the Riju of Gerudo Town main quest (the Lightning Temple); Dalia runs the game only about 5:00-10:00 and 15:00-20:00 |
| Reward | Dalia’s orb (one of the seven orbs for The Mysterious Eighth) on the first win; a fruit prize such as a Hydromelon (guides also list Palm Fruit or Voltfruit) as the prize on wins |
Dalia hides a stuffed sand seal somewhere in the Gerudo Shelter and gives you a short time to find it. Win once and she lends you her orb, which you need for The Mysterious Eighth. You can replay the game whenever she is free.
Walkthrough
Accept Dalia’s challenge
Find Dalia just inside the main entrance of Gerudo Town once the sand shroud has cleared; the orb that is hers sits on the ground near her, and touching it tells you it belongs to Dalia. She is only out in the early morning (about 5:00 to 10:00) and late afternoon (about 15:00 to 20:00). Ask about her treasure and accept the game. She leads you down into the Gerudo Shelter.
Find the stuffed sand seal
Dalia sends you off while she hides the toy, muttering a hint about where she is putting it. Listen, then search the shelter before the countdown runs out; you have about 1 minute 30 seconds. Guides tie four spots to her hints: getting her feet wet puts it by the mural in the training room; a passage into caves she is not allowed in puts it near the statues and classroom side of the shelter; “he’ll never think to look by the bed” puts it on the floor in the sleeping quarters; bracing to push something puts it on a shelf near the training area. Spots include near the beds, the pool of water in front of the mural, and an alcove by the soldiers’ training area; the location changes between games.
Collect your prize
Bring the toy back to Dalia in time. She lets you take her orb and gives you a Hydromelon for winning. Challenge her again later for another prize; guides report a Palm Fruit or Voltfruit on replays. The orb is heavy, so carry it to the statue hall with Ultrahand or on a cart.
Rewards
- Dalia’s orb, used in The Mysterious Eighth
- A fruit prize (Hydromelon seen; Palm Fruit or Voltfruit reported by guides) for each win
Tips
- Pay attention to her muttering; it narrows the search to one area of the shelter.
- Run the shelter’s stairs and corridors first; the timer is generous but not long.
