Master the Teach Me a Lesson Quests in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

On his journey through The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link will come across a multitude of NPCs in need of his assistance. For players looking to take a quick break from their main quest to aid the citizens of Hyrule, completing the Teach Me A Lesson quests can lead to generous rewards.

To unlock a field that can be used as a sustainable source of vegetables, both Teach Me A Lesson quests must be finished. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for completing both quests in Tears of the Kingdom.

This article includes important information about significant NPCs in Kakariko Village and mild spoilers about Hateno Village. If you are someone who wants to avoid spoilers and haven't visited Kakariko Village yet, we suggest proceeding with caution.

Now let's talk about the location of Hateno School in Tears of the Kingdom.

To initiate the side quest, players need to locate Hateno School, a new educational institution established by Zelda after the events of Breath of the Wild. To find the school, players must first reach Hateno Village, which can be accessed by paragliding northeast from the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower. From there, players can follow the signs leading to the school, located at coordinates 3367, -1991, 0128.

For first-time visitors, it is advisable to activate the Zanmik Shrine at coordinates 3469, -2178, 0148 for faster travel. It is also important to note that the school has specific opening hours, and players should enter from 9 am to 3 pm to interact with NPCs.

Teach Me A Lesson 1 Walkthrough

Teach Me A Lesson 1 is a relatively straightforward side quest that requires a lot of traveling. Here are the exact steps for completing it.

Speak to Symin

Symin, a familiar character from Breath of the Wild, has been given the responsibility of educating the children of Hateno Village. However, the children are skeptical and demand proof of his teachings. To impart an important lesson about the Great Calamity, Symin asks Link to travel to Kakariko Village and capture a snapshot of a particular screen displaying the destruction caused by the Calamity. The desired destination is Lady Paya's Hall, formerly known as Lady Impa's Hall.

.

To reach Paya's Hall in Kakariko Village, players can use the Makasura Shrine as a fast travel point. The shrine can be found at coordinates 1770, -1051, 0166, while the hall itself is located at 1784, -0984, 0123. Once inside the sleeping quarters, the screen can be found up the stairs and to the left of the player's entrance. Don't forget to take a picture of the screen for future reference.

To complete this quest, players need to head to the location of the 'Screen depicting the Calamity' and use the camera rune to take a picture of it. It's important to make sure that the description label for the screen is visible and that the entire screen is captured in the photo.

Unlocking the camera is a requirement for this quest, but it's a simple process that players should undertake as soon as possible. The camera is a valuable tool that can be used for many different tasks throughout the game.

.

To collect the reward for completing the quest, the player needs to return to Hateno School during the hours of 9am-3pm with the photo and speak to Symin. Symin will then show the photo to the students and teach them a lesson, which Link can optionally sit in on. Skipping this cutscene will not affect the rewards that the player receives.

The reward for finishing Teach Me A Lesson 1 is ten pieces of Hylian Rice and the opportunity to advance to Teach Me A Lesson 2. Hylian Rice can be utilized to cook a variety of dishes, including curry, rice balls, risotto, and fried rice. It is recommended to keep at least one Hylian Rice on hand as it will be useful for completing Teach Me A Lesson 2.

To progress to the second part of the quest and receive a more valuable reward, players must return to the school once Teach Me A Lesson 1 has been completed. This is where the walkthrough for Teach Me A Lesson 2 begins.

Symin is faced with the same challenge once more - the children of Hateno Village require concrete evidence to believe in his teachings. He turns to Link and requests him to procure a Monster Curry that the children can taste and experience.

To get your hands on some Monster Extract, the most dependable option is to make your way to Tarrey Town and purchase it from the merchant located at coordinates 4002, 1634, 0128 for a mere 50 rupees. Tarrey Town can be easily reached by paragliding southeast from the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower. In addition to this, Monster Extract can also be obtained as a rare drop from Evermeans, the pesky living tree enemies that roam the lands of Hyrule.

.

To get your hands on Goron Spice, head over to Traveling Merchant Yammo near Tabantha Bridge Stable or head to the Goron Gusto Shop in Goron City where you can purchase it for 16 Rupees. Once you have the spice, consider using it to cook a delicious Monster Curry.

Using the Hylian Rice obtained as a reward from the previous Teach Me A Lesson Quest (or purchased at Hateno General Store), Link can whip up a delicious Monster Curry with the addition of Monster Extract and Goron Spice.

After successfully cooking the Monster Curry, Link can head back to Symin to collect his well-deserved reward.

The children eagerly accept Link's offer, pleased with their reward - access to Hateno School's field. Here, Link can cultivate his own crops, a useful skill in the wilds of Hyrule. To learn more about farming, players should seek out Uma, another NPC in Hateno Village.
