Heat-Endurance Contest! Quest Location
Braving the scorching desert without any clothing, The Heat-Endurance Contest! side quest in The Legend of Zelda: TotK pushes players to endure an oppressive hot day. Sustained exposure to the intense heat can inflict harm upon Link, but fear not, as there are a few strategies to conquer the fiery conditions. This guide aims to enlighten players on the art of surviving the sweltering sun and triumphantly completing the side quest.
Discover the thrilling Heat-Endurance Contest side quest within The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom awaits you at Mount Granajh, nestled in the mesmerizing Gerudo Canyon region. Obtain the coordinates (-1380, -3363, 0469) to pinpoint the precise location.
Players have the option to start their journey from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower and glide towards the southeast direction to reach the mountain. This task requires a fully upgraded stamina meter and the assistance of the Wind Sage Tulin's gust ability.
Alternatively, players can also choose to glide towards the East Gerudo Sky Archipelago from the tower. From there, they can opt to use one of the pre-built Zonai Wing vehicles to reach the mountain more easily. The nearby shrines that can be used for fast travel include the Kitawak Shrine located at the mountain's base and the Siyamotsus Shrine in the sky, if it has already been unlocked.
Heat-Endurance Contest! Quest Walkthrough
: Participants must first embark on the Cold-Endurance Contest! side quest, completing it successfully before they can undertake the Heat-Endurance Contest! side quest. Only then will they come across Rahdo, an elderly man residing at the summit of the mountain, who has set up a modest camp.
Following his victory against Rahdo by enduring the freezing desert night, Link faces another daunting challenge: enduring scorching daylight in the sweltering desert. Similar to the previous trial, participants must stand solely on a small pillar, devoid of any clothing or protective armor. Additionally, aspiring conquerors of this side quest must contribute 150 Rupees as an entry fee.
Wearing the Desert Voe set, which is heat-resistant armor, is not possible in this case. To endure the cold night, alternatives include consuming food with heat-resistant effects or attaching a Sapphire to one of the weapons and keeping it equipped.
For players who do not have these resources, they can utilize the Ultrahand to construct a temporary shelter using the rock slabs shown above. The appearance of the shelter is not important as long as it provides shade for Link and is built during the challenge. Once standing on the pillar and surviving until afternoon, Rahdo will reward Link with 300 Rupees and admit defeat in desert endurance challenges.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available for the Nintendo Switch.
