Meat for Meat is a simple side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that involves finding an item and delivering it to the quest giver. This quest will see you help a person get rid of his debt and leave an unfriendly place in peace.
While this all sounds too easy, it is far from the truth. The object that you need to find is a Marbled Rock Roast present in a lava-ridden cave. In this guide, we will help you secure this item without burning yourself to a crisp.
Talk to Mezer at Bedrock Bistro
The Meat for Meat quest can be obtained by talking to Mezer (1724, 1573, 0279) at Bedrock Bistro. He will be standing next to the chef at the bar and seems to be in a real predicament.
Bedrock Bistro is near Goronbi Lake in the Eldin Region. It is to the south of Goron City and north of the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower. The nearest shrine is the Timawak Shrine to the north.
Once you talk to Mezer, he will tell you that he needs to deliver a Marbled Rock Roast to the chef. This will start the quest and add it to your journal.
Find the Marbled Rock Roast
The only hint you will get from Mezer is that you can find a Marbled Rock Roast inside a cave at the end of the cart tracks.
To find the tracks, turn around from the shop and look to your right. You will notice a cart track, which has definitely seen better days. Follow the tracks until you reach a small hot spring with a person named Fico.
Upon talking to Fico, he will direct you towards the cave to his right. He will also tell you to prepare Fireproof Elixirs to survive the unbearable heat of lava inside the cave.
To prepare a Fireproof elixir, you need at least one Fireproof Lizard (native only to the Eldin region) and some monster parts. We recommend that you kill the lizards with arrows from afar, as they are difficult to catch.
Once you have a Fireproof Lizard and some monster parts, throw them in the cooking pot near Fico. The more monster parts you use, the better the efficacy of the elixir will be.
Once you are inside the West Restaurant Cave (1642, 1742, 0279), turn right to climb a ledge and jump across the lava. You will find a ladder to the right here leading you to a zonai hydrant.
Pick up the hydrant and take it near the lava. Hit the hydrant to activate it and use it to create lava rocks (throw water on lava).
Once you have secured your path to go back, pick up a Marbled Rock Roast and take it back to Mezer in the Bedrock Bistro. Talk to him to complete the Meat for Meat quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Quest Reward
Mezer will give you a Large Zonai Charge as a reward for helping him clear his debt to the chef.
