At Lakeside Stable in the Faron Region, players can initiate the 'Ousting the Giants' quest by speaking with Kampos, an NPC who can be found at various locations around the stable at different times. Kampos will inform Link about the region's ongoing struggle with three monstrous giants and their destructive antics. It's up to the player to take on the challenge and slay the giants, restoring peace to the troubled area. The quest can be triggered at coordinates 1547, -3535, -0061.

Where to Find the Hinox Brothers

The Hinox Brothers can be found in three different caves scattered throughout the Faron region. Fortunately, reaching them is relatively easy, especially if you start from Lakeside Stable. To quickly locate the brothers, simply select the 'Ousting the Giants' quest from your menu and three pins will appear on your map, marking the locations of each brother. If you happen to have Zora Armor, the task becomes even simpler as you'll be able to swim up waterfalls, saving you time and effort.

How to Defeat the Hinox Brothers

Taking down the Hinox Brothers in Tears of the Kingdom requires a strategic approach. Their weak point is the eye, so players should aim for it and strike while they're vulnerable to inflict maximum damage. Each brother has a different level of HP, with the youngest having the lowest and the eldest having the highest. However, with enough hearts and an attack boost, defeating these three giants should be a manageable task.

When you emerge victorious against the Hinox Brothers, they will relinquish a variety of valuable items, such as any weapons they were wielding at the time of their defeat. These can include powerful weapons like Royal Bows, Knight's Halberds, and Soldier's Broadswords. Additionally, you can expect to collect Hinox Toenails, Teeth, Guts, and Horns, which can be used for a variety of crafting purposes. Finally, the Hinox Brothers may also drop some delicious and nutritious fruits, such as Apples, Wildberries, Voltfruit, Fortified Pumpkins, and Palm Fruit.

Reward for Completing 'Ousting the Giants'

Upon finishing 'Ousting the Giants', head back to Kampos located at Lakeside Stable to claim your reward. Although the Mighty Fried Bananas may not seem like a significant reward for all the effort put in by Link, they do offer a midlevel attack power boost. However, the true treasure lies in the monster parts and potent weaponry dropped by the Hinox Brothers. Don't miss out on the chance to collect these valuable items.
