Learn how to start and complete the Wanted: Hinox side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Find the Hinox near Woodland Stable and defeat it using its weak points.
Walkthrough
- 1To start the quest, go to Lookout Landing and complete the "Crisis at Hyrule Castle" main quest to obtain the Paraglider and unlock Skyview Towers.
- 2Complete the "Bring Peace to Hyrule Field" side adventure.
- 3Return to Lookout Landing and find Scorpis in the middle of the area to unlock the Emergency Shelter.
- 4Speak with Gralens in the Emergency Shelter. He will offer several monster-related side quests; choose the "Wanted: Hinox" option.
- 5The quest will mark the Hinox's location on your map, which is near Woodland Stable. The closest fast travel point is Ekochiu Shrine, located right outside the stable.
- 6From Woodland Stable, follow the road southeast. You will find a raised area with some trees; the Hinox will be sleeping in the middle of this clearing.
- 7Defeat the Hinox by targeting its eye with arrows.
- 8Once defeated, collect the loot and return to Gralens to report your success.
Tips
- Hinox enemies are often found sleeping, giving you an opportunity to attack them and deal damage before they fully wake up.
- The Hinox's weak spot is its eye. Aiming arrows at its eye will cause it to stumble, leaving it vulnerable to further attacks.
- The Hinox attacks by sweeping its arms, attempting to sit on you, and using nearby objects (in this case, trees) as weapons.
- If you're having difficulty hitting the Hinox's eye, fuse a Keese Eyeball to your arrow. This will cause the arrow to home in on the eye.
- At lower health, the Hinox may start protecting its eye with its hands.
- Silver Rupee upon completion.
- An additional Gold Rupee if you have already completed the other two "Wanted" quests.
