Cash In On Ripened Flint Walkthrough

Dive into an immersive world of excitement as you embark on countless side adventures and quests in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Follow Link's journey as he traverses through the enchanting lands of Hyrule, offering his assistance to a diverse range of individuals. Among the numerous factions, be prepared to lend a helping hand to the resourceful Gorons who call the Eldin Canyon regions surrounding Death Mountain their home. To kickstart your thrilling adventure, here's a comprehensive guide on commencing and successfully completing the engaging quest known as "Cash on Ripened Flint" in Tears of the Kingdom.

To initiate the side quest titled "Cash In On Ripened Fruit," players must first finish the main story quest, "Yunobo of Goron City." Once this prerequisite is fulfilled, they should make their way to the Bedrock Bistro in Eldin Canyon. The Timawak Shrine offers the nearest fast travel point, conveniently placing players just north of the Bedrock Bistro where the quest commences.

Alternatively, players can opt to swiftly teleport to Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower and proceed by soaring towards the north until they arrive at the renowned Bedrock Bistro, which is conveniently located a mere stone's throw away at coordinates (1756, 1547, 0279). It is virtually impossible to miss this exquisite eatery, as it proudly exhibits a colossal rock roast atop its roof.

Link will encounter a distinguished Goron named Gomo outside the restaurant at coordinates (1750, 1536, 0278). Upon speaking to him, Link discovers Gomo's obsession with cobblestones. Curiously, Gomo confesses a desire to sample the scarce and delightful "Ripened Flint" delicacy. He promises a generous reward in exchange for this extraordinary treat.

The twist lies in the absence of a specific "Ripened Flint" item that Link needs to find. Instead, Gomo will come across Ripened Flint randomly while sifting through the batches of regular Flint given by Link. Flint can be found near cooking fires and by breaking mineral veins in caves. However, the outcome of Gomo's searches is completely arbitrary. Hence, it is advisable to save the game before interacting with Gomo and giving him any Flint, just in case Gomo fails to find a Ripened Flint in the batch provided.

To earn the reward of 1,000 Rupees, Gomo only needs to discover a single Ripened Flint among the Flint given by Link. However, it is possible that Link may have to submit a large quantity of Flint before Gomo finds the desired item to complete the quest.

It is advisable to save before attempting to give Gomo a few pieces of Flint at once. This way, if Gomo fails to find the Ripened Flint, the player can reload from their previous save. This practice, commonly referred to as "save scumming," can be helpful in preventing the player from losing a substantial amount of Flint due to unfortunate luck.

Gomo can receive batches of Flint in quantities of 20, 50, or 100. If the player plans to reload from a previous save, it is recommended to give Gomo the minimum of 20 on each attempt. After Gomo finds the Ripened Flint, he will reward Link with 1,000 Rupees and complete the quest "Cash In On Ripened Flint." This quest cannot be repeated and Gomo will not find more than one Ripened Flint, so extra rupees cannot be earned from this quest.

The game "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" is available for Nintendo Switch.
