This chapter is in 2 parts, in the order a 100% run reaches them. Jump to a part:

Part 1: Shrines, Caves & Koroks

This chapter works across the Gerudo Highlands from the sky down: two sky shrines and a King Gleeok fight over South Lomei Castle, then the canyon’s caves, Koroks and chests around Mount Nabooru and Spectacle Rock, the Crystal quest and Turakamik Shrine, the old mine and ruins to the south, and finally the sandy road west past Kara Kara Bazaar to Mayatat and Soryotanog shrines. Coordinates are map units (X, Y, height); larger Y is further north.

Quick route

Start in the sky above the canyon: solve Rakashog Shrine for a Large Zonai Charge, then Siyamotsus Shrine for a Mighty Construct Bow (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress), cross the South Lomei Castle maze to its top-floor chest and take the Sage’s Will from the ruined island to the west after King Gleeok.

Drop to Gerudo Canyon Pass for Quince’s quest, the Steering Stick chest, Mount Nabooru South Cave, Stalry Plateau Cave and Lower Spectacle Rock Cave, then carry the glowing crystal along the river to Rakakudaj Shrine.

Work Mount Nabooru Cave, Mount Nabooru Well and Koukot Plateau Cave, collecting the Koroks and arrow chests between them, and beat the Blue-Maned Lynel.

Continue east to Taafei Hill Cave, Spectacle Rock Cave, the two Stone Taluses and the Flame Gleeok, then solve Turakamik Shrine and finish at Gerudo Canyon Stable with Piaffe’s quests.

Go south for the Blocked Well, Gerudo Canyon Mine and East Gerudo Ruins Cave, then head west for Kara Kara Bazaar, Oasis Source, Mayatat Shrine and Soryotanog Shrine at the edge of Gerudo Town.

Gerudo Highlands Sky

Rakashog Shrine: A Reflective Device (Puzzle)

Rakashog Shrine at (-1715, -2118, 1162), on a sky island above Mount Nabooru. Trial A Reflective Device, type Puzzle (a Sky shrine, so there is no Lightroot below). Launch from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower and glide east to reach it. Every room is solved by bouncing a beam of sunlight off mirror orbs into the gems above the doors, and the shrine chest holds a Large Zonai Charge.

Aim the first mirror at the gate gem

Pick up the mirror orb beside the entrance with Ultrahand and carry it into the sunlight so the beam hits the yellow gem above the first gate. Rotate the orb until the gem turns green and the gate opens.

Carry the mirror through to the next room

Take the mirror through the open gate and set it on the floor mark in the sun on the far side. The beam it throws must reach the gem on the next wall, so tilt the orb until the light lands on it.

Clear the Constructs and bridge the gap

A pair of Soldier Constructs guard the room with the large stone block and drop Zonai Charges and Soldier Construct Horns, so defeat them first. Then attach a mirror to the raised platform so the beam continues through the bars into the room beyond.

Raise the mirror on the stone cube

Stand the large stone cube under the beam and put a second mirror on top of it. The cube lifts the orb into the sunlight and sends the beam across the room to the next gem.

Open the chest room

Open the chest room for the Large Zonai Charge, then step back to the main path. A Large Zonai Charge fully refills a vehicle’s Zonai Energy Cell, so keep it for a long flight.

Light the last gem and take the Light of Blessing

Place one mirror in the main beam and aim a second at the final gem. The last gate opens and the altar with the Light of Blessing waits at the end of the corridor.

Siyamotsus Shrine: Unlit Blessing (Puzzle)

Siyamotsus Shrine at (-1795, -3294, 1024), on a sky island near South Lomei Labyrinth. Trial Unlit Blessing, type Puzzle. To get there, glide southeast from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower and steer south to the labyrinth island (a Wing with Fan and Rocket devices makes the trip easy). You light braziers with Fire Fruit arrows and are launched to the exit.

Climb the stairs and open the chest

Walk up the first staircase to the chest on the round platform. It holds a Mighty Construct Bow, and there are 10 arrows on the platform beside it.

Fuse Fire Fruit to your arrows

Pick Fire Fruit from the shrubs on either side of the start, attach it to an arrow and shoot the unlit braziers on the far side (two are already lit). You only get a few arrows, so aim each shot carefully.

Ride the platform to the exit

Once the braziers burn, the chest you opened earlier slides behind you and becomes a launch pad. Stand on it, wait to be fired into the air and glide to the end of the shrine.

Claim the Light of Blessing

Take the Light of Blessing at the altar. The shrine then works as a fast-travel point on the sky island.

Cross South Lomei Castle top floor

The top floor of South Lomei Castle is a huge stone maze floating above the canyon. Land on it with a fanplane or by gliding, work your way across the walls to the stone pedestal and open the chest there, the one the minimap marks on the maze roof.

Take the Korok seed above the maze

A Korok seed is hidden among the sky islands south of the maze, near (-1714, -3578, 1186) (Catch the falling light). Chase the falling light and catch it before it lands.

Defeat King Gleeok over the sky ruins

Miniboss: King Gleeok, the Scourge of Gerudo Sky, circles the ruined islands near (-4439, -2609, 1413). Fuse Fire Fruit to your arrows and shoot its heads from the ruin platform; when a head drops, run in and strike it. It has about 12,000 HP and three heads (fire, ice and thunder), so match your arrows to the head you shoot. It drops a Gleeok Wing, Gleeok Guts and the Flame, Frost and Thunder Horns.

Take the Sage’s Will from the ruined island

Chest: Sage’s Will at (-4447, -2727, 1418), on a stone dais on the ruined island. Climb the stairs to the dais and open the chest to receive a Sage’s Will; offer four of them to a Goddess Statue to deepen your connection with the Sages.

Gerudo Canyon Pass, Mount Nabooru and Spectacle Rock

Start Disaster in Gerudo Canyon

Quest: Disaster in Gerudo Canyon (full quest page). Quince waits at Gerudo Canyon Pass near (-1661, -2039) and has lost three friends on the road. They rest in caves, in shade by the roadside or around campfires; speak to each, then report back to Quince when all three are found.

Ascend to the Steering Stick chest

Chest: Steering Stick x3 at (-1677, -2062, 31), inside the narrow ruin passage near the pass. Use Ascend through the ceiling at the end of the corridor to reach the chamber above, then open the chest for Steering Stick x3.

Clear Mount Nabooru South Cave

Cave: Mount Nabooru South Cave at (-1726, -2183, 5). Shine the cave with Brightbloom Seeds, defeat the monsters and weaken the Bubbulfrog in the back cavern for a Bubbul Gem.

Take the Bubbul Gem in Stalry Plateau Cave

Cave: Stalry Plateau Cave at (-1527, -2222, -20), on the plateau east of Gerudo Canyon Pass. A Fire-Breath Lizalfos guards the entrance. The cave is small: the Bubbulfrog hangs on the ceiling for a Bubbul Gem, and a chest buried under tumbleweed holds a Knight’s Shield (it scales up to a Royal Shield (or Traveler’s Shield, Soldier’s Shield or Knight’s Shield, depending on your progress) as you progress).

Take the Bubbul Gem in Lower Spectacle Rock Cave

Cave: Lower Spectacle Rock Cave at (-1744, -2394, -11). Drop into the low entrance, throw a Brightbloom Seed to spot the Bubbulfrog and weaken it for a Bubbul Gem.

Help the exhausted Korok

Korok seed (Bring the exhausted Korok to its friend) at (-1640, -2359, 7). Pick up the tired Korok with Ultrahand and carry it to its friend across the flat; the delivery gives you a seed.

Carry the glowing crystal to Rakakudaj Shrine

Shrine quest: The Gerudo Canyon Crystal (Mysterious Voice, Gerudo Canyon). Follow the light beam to the crystal and fix it to a wheeled cart built with Ultrahand. Add wheels and a power source, then drive it along the riverbank to the shrine; keep the crystal on the cart and do not tip it.

Complete Rakakudaj Shrine: Rauru’s Blessing

Rakakudaj Shrine at (-2036, -1853, 78), trial Rauru’s Blessing (type Rauru’s Blessing). There is no puzzle: offer the crystal, walk in, open the chest for a Mighty Zonaite Longsword (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress) and take the Light of Blessing. The Jadukakar Lightroot lies below at (-2037, -1852, -525).

Mount Nabooru Cave, Mount Nabooru Well and the plateau Koroks

Explore Mount Nabooru Cave

Cave: Mount Nabooru Cave at (-1967, -2059, 30) and (-1795, -1961, 31), a river cave. Ride Zonai devices down the underground river, open the chest at the end and take the Bubbul Gem from the Bubbulfrog.

Open the plank chests

Chest: Arrow on a wooden plank platform on the cliff above the sand. Ascend through the overhang to reach it. More plank-mounted arrow chests sit around the Koukot Plateau lake.

Complete the rock pattern

Clear Mount Nabooru Well

Well: Mount Nabooru Well at (-1720, -2238, 31), on the cliff above the river. Glide in, climb down the shaft and follow the passage to the monsters inside.

Defeat the Blue-Maned Lynel

Collect the lakeside Koroks

Korok seeds (Lift the rock x2, Break the acorn pot) at (-2198, -1679), (-2244, -1740) and (-2329, -1825), around the Koukot Plateau lake. Lift the rock to uncover each Korok; for the acorn pot, hit it with an arrow or weapon.

Clear Koukot Plateau Cave

Cave: Koukot Plateau Cave at (-2258, -1759, 56) and (-2173, -1841, 126). Follow the cave to the Bubbulfrog and take its Bubbul Gem.

Finish Disaster in Gerudo Canyon

Return to Quince once you have found all three of his friends; talking to him completes the quest.

Taafei Hill, Spectacle Rock and Turakamik Shrine

Open the Purple Rupee and Topaz chests

Chests: Purple Rupee and Topaz at (-2361, -1843, 58) and (-2417, -1930, 57), on the ridge west of Taafei Hill. A Purple Rupee is worth 50 rupees.

Yiga Blademaster Station at (-2433, -1819, 145) lies directly below Taafei Hill Cave, behind the waterfall that flows out of it. You need the full Yiga outfit to be let in; the Blademaster inside starts The Yiga Clan Exam, and finishing it opens the back room with its chests, a second Bubbulfrog and Suariwak Shrine.

Clear Taafei Hill Cave and the Stone Talus

Cave: Taafei Hill Cave at (-2457, -1798, 176) with a Bubbul Gem. Miniboss: Stone Talus near (-2560, -1714): shoot the ore on its back, then strike the glowing weak spot when it is stunned.

Connect the metal balls to power the cog

Pick up the charged metal ball at the first cog, join it to a second ball with Ultrahand and fuse them so electricity travels down to the gear and turns it.

Swing the chained balls together

In the second room two balls hang from short chains. Swing one with Ultrahand, then connect it to the other so the current runs through the wall; platforms extend and let you Ascend.

Take the chest above the cog

Use Recall on the large cog to lift it, climb on and wrap the chain around the nearest metal rod to charge it. The chest here holds a Mighty Zonaite Shield (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress).

Power the final door

Rest a metal pole across the two rods by the last door so the current reaches it, then take the Light of Blessing.

Gerudo Canyon Stable sits at (-2777, -2229, 34). Piaffe’s quests are Piaffe, Packed Away (destroy the crates in the stable; the reward is a Pony Point) and the photo quests A Picture for the Closed Stable I and II, covered below.

Tips for this stretch

Bring Heat Resistance food for the day and Cold Resistance for the nights in the sand; the Gerudo armor sold at Kara Kara Bazaar helps with both. Keep a handful of Brightbloom Seeds for the caves and Fire Fruit for King Gleeok. Every cave here holds exactly one Bubbulfrog, so there is one Bubbul Gem per cave.

Gerudo Desert checklist

Part 2: West and South Sands

This chapter clears the rest of the Gerudo Desert surface once Gerudo Town is open: seven shrines, five Bubbul Gem caves, four Moldugas, 24 Korok puzzles and the three-layer South Lomei Labyrinth, spread between the sand dunes south of town, the Toruma Dunes in the west, the East Barrens and the Gerudo Highlands edge, and ends by lighting all 12 Gerudo Lightroots. Coordinates are map units (X, Y, height); larger Y is further north.

Quick route

Start south of Gerudo Town near Southern Oasis: beat the first Molduga, run the sand race for Gerudo Fabric, solve Karahatag Shrine, take the Bubbul Gem in Central Gerudo Cave and deliver the first exhausted Korok.

Head southwest to Irasak Shrine, loot the maze-ruin chests, explore Gerudo Great Skeleton and deliver the second exhausted Korok, then climb to Miryotanog Shrine in the western dunes.

Work north through Toruma Dunes: free Isha from a Molduga, empty the chests, visit West Gerudo Underground Ruins, collect the eight Koroks of the western canyons and solve Kudanisar Shrine.

Return to town for the Pride of the Gerudo quest, then run east for Pokki’s ruins, Siwakama Shrine, the East Barrens Molduga, Ancient Altar Ruins, South Gerudo Cave and the Koroks along the way.

Finish at Kitawak Shrine in the east, win Rahdo’s endurance contests, clear the tumbleweeds and collect the Korok seeds on the plateau.

Then take on South Lomei Labyrinth: the surface maze and Motsusis Shrine, the four sky terminals and roof terminal, and Flux Construct III in the depths for the Evil Spirit Mask. Dive on afterwards to light the 12 Lightroots.

Palu Wasteland South: Molduga, Desert Race and Karahatag Shrine

Defeat the Molduga at (-3329, -3352)

Miniboss: Molduga at (-3329, -3352, 16), south of Gerudo Town. A Molduga hunts by sound, so stay on rock outcrops or in a vehicle and strike its mouth with explosives or arrows when it surfaces. It drops Molduga Guts and a Molduga Fin.

Run the sand race for Gerudo Fabric

Minigame: Desert Race near (-3620, -3623, 20), east of Karahatag Shrine. Beat the course timer on a sand-sled between the flag poles and the Gerudo racer rewards you with Gerudo Fabric, a paraglider fabric that resists sand heat.

Karahatag Shrine: Drifting Flame (Puzzle)

Karahatag Shrine at (-3727, -3625, 57), on the cliff above Southern Oasis. Trial Drifting Flame, type Puzzle; the Gataharak Lightroot is directly below at (-3728, -3624, -515). The chest holds a Mighty Construct Bow (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress).

Light the gate torch

Pick up the unlit torch inside the entrance, light it at the burning pedestal and touch it to the upside-down torch by the barred gate to open it. A Fire Fruit or Red Chuchu Jelly arrow shot at the same torch works too.

Carry the lit candle to the dark spots

Grab the lit candle with Ultrahand and carry it above the lava floor to each of the three unlit candle holders hanging overhead. Lift the flame under each one until it catches.

Drop the platform with the bullseye switch

Climb the ladder to the caged bullseye switch and shoot or throw something at the target. The big platform lowers, so you can carry the candle onto it and Recall it back up as the platform rises to light the last holder.

Open the chest below the switch

The chest sits in a small alcove below the ground. Stand beside the lit brazier on the right-hand bridge, facing the ladder you climbed, then glide down into the alcove. It holds a Mighty Construct Bow (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress); Ascend back up through the ceiling afterwards.

Claim the Light of Blessing

With all three holders lit, the exit gate opens. Walk through to the altar for the Light of Blessing.

Slip through the laser hall

Keep out of the red laser beams; touching one sets off a rolling boulder trap. Move along the walls and use the gaps between the beams to reach the end of the hall.

Arm yourself from the side rooms

Take the starting kit from the weapon rack (a Long Stick, Thick Stick (or Sturdy Thick Stick or Gnarled Thick Stick, depending on your progress), Old Wooden Bow and five arrows); nothing from outside comes past this point. Break the two crates left of the entrance ramp to uncover a shrub of Fire Fruit, and fuse the spikes and red barrels you find to your weapons.

Defeat the Construct guardians

Soldier Constructs with laser eyes guard each hall. Hit them from behind cover, burn the crates blocking the beams and use Fire Fruit arrows on the ones you cannot reach.

Bridge the first sand strip

Use Ultrahand to drag the floating plank to the stone platform opposite the stairs and lay it across the sand. Sand drains stamina, so cross on the planks and stay out of the quicksand.

Chain planks across the second section

Pick up the loose planks and join them end to end with Ultrahand to span the next gap. Lean the finished plank against the fence if the end is short.

Raise a plank ramp to the upper ledge

Tilt a plank against the fence as a ramp and run up it to the raised platform, before the spikes reach you.

Cross the last sand on a fan board

Pick up the Fan, attach it to a plank and sit on the plank to drive the board across the final stretch of sand. A Construct waits nearby, so defeat it first.

Open both chests and finish

Two chests hold Arrow x10 and a Hasty Elixir. The arrow chest hangs from a rope above a platform with a fan sled; shoot the rope and quickly catch the chest with Ultrahand. The elixir chest is on a raised platform in the far corner, which you reach with plank ramps and where a Soldier Construct hides. Then take the Light of Blessing at the exit.

East Barrens: Quests, Siwakama Shrine and Ancient Altar Ruins

Forge the Scimitar of the Seven

Side quest: Pride of the Gerudo (Isha, Gerudo Town). Bring Isha 10 Flint, 4 Diamonds, a Gerudo Scimitar and a Gerudo Shield (a decayed one is fine). She forges the Scimitar of the Seven and will remake it for the same materials if you ever lose it. The scimitars and shields drop from the chests earlier in this chapter.

Carry Pokki to the ruins

Bridge the first gap with a sphere

Pick up the large sphere on the far ledge with Ultrahand and set it in the middle of the first gap, then hop across its top.

Roll a sphere into the cracked wall

Take one sphere off the right side of the platform and drop it on the ramp so it rolls into the cracked section of wall. The wall hides a chest holding Bomb Flower x5. A hammer or a Bomb Flower breaks the wall directly if you carry one.

Fuse two spheres on the middle peak

Return to the main platform, fuse the two remaining spheres together and place them on either side of the peak so they hold steady and form a bridge over the gap.

Build the three-sphere pyramid

The last gap is a pyramid, so join all three spheres into a triangle with the single sphere closest to the altar. They sit centred on the pyramid and let you cross to the Light of Blessing.

Defeat the East Barrens Molduga

Miniboss: Molduga at (-2340, -3321, 19), beside Siwakama Shrine. Fight it from the stone ridges, lob Bomb Flowers into its mouth when it surfaces, and report back to Gralens at the Emergency Shelter in Lookout Landing to finish WANTED: Molduga. Molduga loot spills on the sand where it falls.

Deliver the third exhausted Korok

Korok seed (Bring the exhausted korok to its friend) ends at (-2546, -3930, 14). Pick the Korok up at (-2503, -3409), carry it south on a vehicle and leave it by the friend’s tent.

Bring Brightbloom Seeds and Fire Fruit for the Constructs.

Explore South Gerudo Cave

Drop the first bridge with the stone slab

Grab the stone slab next to the raised bridge and set it on top of the bridge. The extra weight drops it so you can cross the gap.

Ride the gear platform to the arrow chest

Take the slab off the bridge and attach it to the rim of the spinning gear to make a rotating platform. Jump on when it comes round, ride it to the far side and open the chest for Arrow x10.

Build the ramp and launch off the piston

Back at the main platform, lay the slab and a second plank across the seesaw to form a ramp, then stand at the low end under the piston and shoot the pillar to fire it. You are flung up to the next level; glide to the exit and take the Light of Blessing.

Win the endurance contests against Rahdo

Side quests: Cold-Endurance Contest! and Heat-Endurance Contest! (Rahdo, Gerudo Canyon). Climb onto the pillar beside Rahdo’s tent near (-1370, -3353, 473) and stand there in nothing but your underwear without touching the ground. First comes the cold night, and after you win, a daytime heat contest. Eat Cold Resistance and Heat Resistance food beforehand and wait out the clock on the pillar. Most guides give the entry fee as about 50 rupees for the cold night and 150 for the heat contest, and both pay out a rupee prize.

Take the Rocket chest

Upgrade gear at Great Fairy Cotera

Any Great Fairy you have awakened can upgrade the Desert Voe Headband, Sapphire Circlet and Sand Boots you have picked up here; there is no Great Fairy in the Gerudo Desert itself, so carry the armor and its materials to a fountain elsewhere in Hyrule.

South Lomei Labyrinth: Surface, Sky and Depths

Side quest: The South Lomei Prophecy (a Mysterious Voice, South Lomei Labyrinth). The labyrinth is a three-layer maze in the Gerudo Highlands: the surface maze ends at a dragon ring terminal and Motsusis Shrine, the sky maze above it has four more terminals plus a fifth on its roof, and the dive from the roof lands in the depths maze, where Flux Construct III guards the final terminal and the Evil Spirit Mask. Glide in from Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower and bring heat and cold resistance; the maze has extreme weather. Chests here hold 14 items in total.

Raid the surface maze chests

Follow the trail of acorns and nuts from the entrance table, cross the gloom pools by riding a campfire updraft or building a bridge, and open the chests off the main path. A Mighty Zonaite Sword (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress) sits at about (-1822, -3404, 73) and a Mighty Zonaite Longsword (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress) at about (-1847, -3540, 71). A third chest near (-1770, -3420, 71) holds a Big Battery.

Open the chest for a Large Zonai Charge and take the Light of Blessing. The Sisustom Lightroot is directly below at (-1795, -3497, -478).

Take the balloon Korok at the maze wall

Korok seed (Shoot the balloon) at (-1794, -3579, 123), on the south side of the maze. Shoot the floating balloon to bring the Korok down.

Reach the sky maze

Take the voice’s directions to the north side of the sky maze: glide from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower to the sky island south-east of it, fast travel to Siyamotsus Shrine in the sky, then fly a Zonai vehicle with fans and rockets to the stone ring at the labyrinth entrance. The ring opens the way in.

Activate the four sky terminals

The sky maze has no floor, only updrafts, so glide between the walls and examine each terminal ring in turn. Your quest log counts them off; fast travel to the shrine between terminals if you fall. Four terminals open a fifth on the roof.

Open the five sky chests

Five chests sit on the maze ledges: Mighty Zonaite Spear (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress), Mighty Zonaite Shield (Strong or Mighty, depending on your progress), Mighty Zonaite Sword, Zonaite Bow and a Mighty Zonaite Longsword. Land on each platform with the glider and open the chest before the wind pushes you off.

Activate the roof terminal and dive

Ride the updraft to the roof and activate the fifth terminal. A voice tells you to dive into the depths, so jump straight off the maze and open the paraglider when the red lights of the depths come into view.

Defeat Flux Construct III

Miniboss: Flux Construct III at the South Lomei Depths Labyrinth, (-1795, -3579, -539). Fire Brightbloom arrows to light the arena first, then fight it in the open and stay close to the walls, because its swings hit hard. Separate its glowing core cube from the rest of its body: in humanoid form it slams down, in cube form it rolls after you, and in UFO form it floats out of reach, so stand on a block it throws and use Recall to ride it back up to the UFO body, then strike the core. Its death opens the way to the last terminal.

Open the depths chests and take the Evil Spirit Mask

The depths maze has four side chests: Soldier IV Reaper, Zonaite Bow, Soldier IV Blade and Soldier IV Spear. At the end, the chest by the final terminal holds the Evil Spirit Mask, a Stealth Up armor piece, and the terminal completes the quest. If you lose the mask it can be bought again from a Bargainer Statue in the Depths for 400 Poes.

Gerudo Desert Lightroots

Light the 12 Lightroots

Each Lightroot sits directly under the shrine named beside it, so dive through that shrine’s Lightroot hole or walk to the coordinates in the depths.

Also in this area

The data lists these ground Koroks within reach of the route that this chapter does not collect: Break the acorn pot (-4363, -1845) and Lift the rock (-4148, -1931). Three more sit north of the Kitawak plateau: Examine where the arrows point to (-1432, -1952), Bring the exhausted korok to its friend (-1374, -2443) and Lift the rock (-1294, -2213).

Tips for this stretch

Bring Heat Resistance food by day and Cold Resistance by night, and carry Bomb Flowers and fire arrows for the Moldugas. A sand sled or other fast vehicle makes the long legs between shrines easy, and Brightbloom Seeds light every cave here.
