Quest Overview
The second Leviathan skeleton of the three-part fossil mystery quest lies frozen in the Hebra snowfields. Trek through freezing temperatures to the massive skeleton and gather bone samples and environmental clues. Cross-reference your findings with evidence from the Eldin and Gerudo skeletons and present your conclusion to Akrah, Onya, and Bhodi to settle the scholarly debate about what ancient catastrophe wiped out the Leviathans of Hyrule.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Locate the Hebra Leviathan
The Hebra Leviathan is in the Hebra Mountains north of Rito Village, buried in a snowfield. Cold Resistance Level 2 required. Use the Rito Village Skyview Tower to launch and glide north — the skeleton's ribcage silhouette is visible from altitude.
2
Examine the Hebra Bones
The bones show heavy ice crystal formation in the marrow channels and permafrost around the extremities — classic rapid cold-death evidence. The Leviathan froze from the inside out. Ancient glacier scoring confirms an ice age event. This supports the cold theory.
3
Record Your Findings
Return to the researchers. Select 'Cold' for Hebra. Two down, one to go. Onya is now confident her theory is correct for at least one specimen.
