“Eldin’s Colossal Fossil” is an easy side quest that you can complete for some quick rupees in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
As the quest name suggests, you must find and repair a fossil in the Eldin Region that is missing an eye. Luckily, its eyeball is nearby, and all you have to do is find a way to get it free.
In this guide, we will help you acquire this quest and complete it in the easiest possible manner.
Talk to Loone
If you have started the Regional Phenomena story quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can go to East Akkala Stable to start Eldin’s Colossal Fossil side quest.
Once you reach the stable at coordinates (4236, 2727, 0120), follow its main path north to find Loone. She will tell you about three fossils nearby that you can help put together.
That is the main objective of this quest. The locations of Eldin’s Colossal Fossil will be marked on your map. This will start the quest and add it to your journal.
Fix the Eldin’s Colossal Fossil’s Eye
Loone wants to see both eyes of the colossal fossil in the Eldin Region. To make her wish come true, follow the map marker to reach coordinates (1641, 3700, 0098) to find the Eldin Great Skeleton fossil.
It will be near the Eldin Mountains, which means that it is a pretty long way from the East Akkala Stables.
To complete the “Eldin’s Colossal Fossil” side quest in the game, you need to find the fossil’s missing right eye.
This objective is easy to complete because the eyeball is located right beneath the fossil. The only problem is that it is stuck in breakable boulders.
To get your hands on the quest item, you must use an arrow with a bomb flower or a weapon with a stone. Use either of them to destroy the rock formation at the bottom to release the eye.
Next, you need to use your Ultrahand ability to pick up the eye and place it inside the fossil’s right eye socket. Note that you must rotate the eye so that it is looking outside, or else the objective will not be completed.
Once the eyeball is placed correctly, you will have successfully repaired the Eldin Great Skeleton.
Quest Reward
Loone will soon appear next to the Eldin’s Colossal Fossil. You can now talk to her and tell her that the fossil’s eye is restored.
She will be overjoyed and give you a Purple Rupee (50 Rupees) as a reward. This will complete Eldin’s Colossal Fossil side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
