The legendary Dusk Claymore is a two-handed weapon that cuts down enemies like butter. To get it, you need to complete the “Investigate the Thyphlo Ruins” side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
This quest involves using the abilities of all four sages with which you have made a vow. The only help you will get is some scrambled texts with not-so-clear messages. Let us help you find this side quest and complete it easily.
Talk to Kazul in the Thyphlo Ruins
The road to unlocking “Investigate the Thyphlo Ruins” is a long and hard one. This is because you need to first clear all four of the Fire, Wind, Water, and Lightning Temples.
Once you are done with that daunting task, make your way to the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower north of Hyrule Forest. The coordinates are (0361, 3102, 0174).
Here, south of the Skyview Tower, you will find a Hylian traveler called Kazul. Talk to him and watch as he explains how he is unable to investigate the Ruins and needs your assistance. Accept the invite and start the Investigate the Thyphlo Ruins side adventure.
Solve Four Puzzles by using Sages’ Abilities
After accepting the side adventure, head over to the monolith next to Kazu’s tent and start examining them. As you examine the monolith, you will be given a mini side quest per table to complete using one of the Sages. Below we have explained how to complete the mini-side quests of each monolith.
The Owl Protected by Dragons
The first puzzle is known as the Owl Protected by Dragons. An owl statue is southeast of Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower at the following coordinates (0367, 3054, 0175).
Once you find the owl, use your Sage of Wind, Tulin’s Gust ability, while facing the statue. This will solve the puzzle and reveal a stone room nearby. Loot the chest inside for 3x Sapphires.
The Corridor Between Two Dragons
The next monolith can be found in the western parts of the Thyphlo Ruins at the following corridors (0219, 3121, 0174). There, you will come across two large dragon statues.
Here, you need to use Sage of Fire, Yunobo’s Charge ability, to shoot between the statues to solve the Corridor Between Two Dragons puzzle. That will reveal another room nearby with a chest that gives you 3x Ruby.
The Six Dragons
Reach the northwestern side of the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower to find six dragon statues at the following coordinates (0193, 3164, 0174). Use the Sage of Water Sidon’s Water Shield and stand on the platform.
Charge your attack by holding the Y button and letting it go to splash water on all the statues surrounding you. This will solve the puzzle and open the hidden room. Loot the chest inside the room to get rewarded with 5x Opal to complete the Six Dragons objective.
The Long Dragon
Got to the southeastern side of the Thyphlo Ruins. Find a platform on the ground surrounded by pillars at the following coordinates (0479, 3040, 0175). It is near the shore.
Use Sage of Lightning Riju’s Lightning ability to shoot a lightning arrow on the platform to reveal the stone room with the chest inside. Loot the chest to acquire 3x Topaz to finish the Long Dragon objective.
Quest Reward
As you complete all four monolith mini side quests, an underground dungeon will spawn and inside of which will be a chest you can loot. Looting the final chest will reward you with 1x Dusk Claymore Sword.
Head over to the left of the dungeon to find another monolith. Interact with it to start a conversation with Kazul to get rewarded with 1x Large Zonai Charge, 1x Big Battery, and 1x Diamond and complete Investigate the Thyphlo Ruins side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
