Follow this guide to complete the Gerudo's Colossal Fossil side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Learn how to find and reassemble the baby leviathan fossil.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the quest after finishing Hebra's Colossal Fossil. You'll need heat-resistant armor for daytime or cold-resistant armor for nighttime travel in the desert.
  2. 2
    The Gerudo Great Skeleton Cave is located directly behind the Lightning Temple. The closest shrines are Irasak Shrine and Miryotanog Shrine, though you'll need to walk a short distance through sinking sand.
  3. 3
    Enter the cave and follow the path down until you find Loone.
  4. 4
    Speak with Loone, who will direct your attention to the baby leviathan skull. Use Ultrahand to piece the skeleton back together.
  5. 5
    In the back of the cave, find a Bubbul Frog. Near the large leviathan's tail fin, a chest contains a Topaz buried under sand.
  6. 6
    Locate a pile of sand across from Loone containing the baby's tail. Use Tulin's Gust ability or a Fan to blow away the sand.
  7. 7
    Use Ultrahand to move the tail next to the skull. Do not attack it; simply drop it beside the head.
  8. 8
    Climb up the mother leviathan. The baby's torso is stuck in breakable rocks above the mother's head.
  9. 9
    Stay a safe distance back and use Bomb Flowers to hit the ceiling. Two hits should be enough to break the rocks and free the torso.
  10. 10
    If the torso doesn't fall to the ground, use Ultrahand to drop it from above the baby's head.
  11. 11
    Use Ultrahand to attach the head to the torso, and then the tail to the torso. Ensure all bones are properly aligned before fusing them.
  12. 12
    Return to Loone and speak with her to complete the quest.
Tips
  • Wear appropriate armor for the desert climate (heat-resistant during the day, cold-resistant at night).
  • Use Tulin's Gust or a Fan to clear sand piles quickly.
  • Bomb Flowers are effective for breaking the rocks holding the torso.
  • Purple Rupee
