How to unlock Investigate the Thyphlo Ruins in Zelda: TotK
The road to unlocking “Investigate the Thyphlo Ruins” is a long and hard one in Tears of the Kingdom. 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 near the Skyview Tower north of Hyrule Forest. The coordinates are 0361, 3102, 0174.
Here you will find a Hylian traveler called Kazul. Talk to him and see as he explains how he alone is unable to investigate the Ruins and needs your assistance. Accept the invite and start the Investigate the Thyphlo Ruins side adventure.
