Follow this guide to complete the 'A Picture for the Closed Stable II' side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Find the giant sword in Gerudo Highlands and earn your reward.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Ensure you have completed the 'Camera Work in the Depths' main quest (unlocks the Camera) and the 'Piaffe, Packed Away' side quest (starts at Gerudo Canyon Stable).
  2. 2
    Once both prerequisites are met, inspect the empty picture frame on the right wall at Gerudo Canyon Stable to begin 'A Picture for the Closed Stable II'.
  3. 3
    Piaffe requires a photo of a giant sword located in the Gerudo Highlands, specifically at the Gerudo Summit.
  4. 4
    Prepare for cold weather by equipping warm clothing or consuming cold-resistant food/elixirs.
  5. 5
    The quickest way to reach the Gerudo Summit is by using the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower, located south of the summit.
  6. 6
    If the tower is not yet unlocked, you can access it by entering Maedela’s Mantle Cave and using the Ascend ability to reach the tower's control unit.
  7. 7
    From the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower, launch into the sky and glide towards the Gerudo Summit.
  8. 8
    Be extremely cautious as you approach the summit, as a Frost Gleeok is located in the vicinity of the giant sword. Avoid triggering a fight with this powerful enemy.
  9. 9
    Locate the giant sword. Position yourself carefully to get the sword within your camera's frame, ensuring the red quest icon is visible.
  10. 10
    Take the picture.
  11. 11
    Return to Piaffe at the Gerudo Canyon Stable and show him the photograph to complete the quest.
Tips
  • The Frost Gleeok is a very difficult enemy; it is best to sneak past it rather than engage in combat.
  • Make sure the red quest icon appears in your camera's frame when taking the picture of the sword; otherwise, it will not count towards quest completion.
