The Great Tumbleweed Purge - TotK Walkthrough

The side quest "The Great Tumbleweed Purge" commences on a cliff situated above the Oseira Plains, found in the southwestern corner of the Faron Grasslands. At these exact coordinates (-1006, -3583, 0219), players will encounter a fellow traveler named Barles.
Barles strongly believes that it is the duty of all travelers to enhance the condition of the places they visit, an invaluable piece of advice that holds true not only in Hyrule but also in the real world. Unfortunately, the constant influx of tumbleweeds overflows the already litter-infested abyss, adding to the difficulty and frustration of Barles' undertaking.
In order to embark on and successfully finish the quest titled "The Great Tumbleweed Purge" within the game Tears of the Kingdom, the player is required to engage in a conversation with a character named Barles. Barles seeks the player's aid in restoring the chasm by eradicating the abundance of tumbleweeds that have overrun the vicinity.
There are only a few highly effective techniques to accomplish this. The most optimal and straightforward approach is to utilize the diverse array of tactics Link possesses to ignite and disperse fire, resulting in swift elimination of these tangled threats.
To maximize the effectiveness of fire consumables, Link should utilize the scattered Zonai Fans found among the piles of debris. The Ultrahand can be used to locate these devices amidst the rubble.
When a Zonai Fan is discovered, the player can extract it from the ground using the Ultrahand and activate it by striking it with a weapon. Utilizing the Ultrahand, the player can then hold and direct the fan, swiftly bringing the tumbleweeds closer together. This consolidation significantly simplifies the current objective.
Once a sufficient quantity of tumbleweeds has been amassed in close proximity, Link possesses the ability to ignite them by utilizing items such as a Fire Fruit. This fiery substance can either be hurled or affixed to an arrow before being set ablaze. Fire Fruits are comparatively abundant, thereby alleviating concerns regarding their depletion. Nevertheless, if their availability becomes scarce, numerous prime locations for cultivating additional Fire Fruits can be found.
Using the Ultrahand, players can grab a single flaming tumbleweed and drag it towards other tumbleweeds to ignite them. This allows the fire to quickly spread and consume the remaining tumbleweeds. Alternatively, players can use the Ultrahand to combine multiple tumbleweeds into larger clusters, making them easier to handle. However, this approach can be extremely time-consuming and is not recommended.
The Ultrahand is extremely handy when it comes to tracking down stray tumbleweeds. It effectively singles out any tumbleweeds that might have been carried farther by the fans or the updrafts from the fire. After the tumbleweeds are incinerated, players can then scavenge the wasteland, discovering fragments of Flint and occasionally cooked consumables.
Link can only successfully complete the quest by thoroughly clearing the chasm of every remaining tumbleweed. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize the Ultrahand to scan the area and ensure that no stragglers are left behind. Once all the tumbleweeds have been cleared, Barles will express astonishment and commend the player for their exceptional handling of the situation.
Barles will reward Link with a Royal Shield as a token of appreciation for his hard work in improving the cleanliness and overall well-being of Hyrule. Players can bask in the satisfaction of this achievement as they embark on their ongoing adventure in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Experience the legendary journey on the Nintendo Switch.
