If you’re struggling to find all of the orb locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the side quest “The Mysterious Eighth”, we’ve got you covered. This quest can be a bit difficult to complete, so don’t worry if you’re struggling, some of the requirements for the orbs aren’t that simple.
Here is how you can find all of the orbs in the game for “The Mysterious Eighth.”
All Orb locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Once you’ve completed The Heroines’ Secret, you will then be given this quest, The Mysterious Eighth – tasking you to find all orb locations in Tears of the Kingdom. You discover with Rotana that there were eight heroes belonging to Gerudo’s past.
By speaking to her again, you are able to start this mission and bring the orbs safely back to Rotana. With each orb you bring back, you are given a Hydromelon as a reward.
Two of the orbs are linked to side quests, so it’s important to make sure that you have completed the side quests related otherwise you won’t get the orbs. The first orb is related to the Lost In The Dunes side quest.
The next orb is guarded by a young Gerudo called Dalia, who will challenge you to a game. In order to get the orb, you will have to entertain her and play her game. In order to get this orb back to safety, you have to obtain it during the daytime.
There’s another orb in the shelter, where Rotana was standing before when you were previously talking to her.
You can find the fourth orb on the far west side of the Gerudo Shelter. Go towards the room with the banner in it, and you’ll see the orb in the bar.
There is another orb in the Gerudo Shelter, in the Spa area. In order to get this, stand on a bed and ascend to the shelf above you. There, you’ll find Topaz, Rock Salt and another orb.
Going into the Gerudo Town, next to the entrance you’ll find a spear and another orb.
On the eastern side of town is a huge pile of sand. In order to get this orb, you’ll have to blow all of the sand away, which will reveal an orb that you can take.

Completing The Mysterious Eighth in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Once you’ve found them all, place them safely back into the arms of the statues, which will then reveal another giant orb. Rotana tells you that this giant orb has to be taken to the North Gerudo Ruins and has to be dropped in a slot in order to open the Gerudo Sanctuary door.
You can use whatever method you like to get the orb over there, but using Ultrahand is one of the easiest methods to use, as long as you get rid of the enemies that are in the way first. Once you get to the Ruins, drop the orb inside the corresponding hole, and then you’ll be able to traverse the ruins.
Make your way to the Statue of the Eighth Heroine Room and read the tablet to get the final secret. Once you’ve done that, loot the room.
Then, return to Rotana and she will give you a Diamond for completing the quest.
That’s everything you need to know about the orb locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and how to complete The Mysterious Eighth.
