Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Speak with the Young Rito Musician

In Rito Village, find a young Rito perched dejectedly on one of the lower platforms. He explains that he was practicing his carved bone flute on the Hebra plateau when a passing Bokoblin sneaked up and grabbed it. The flute was a gift from his grandmother and means everything to him. He marks the approximate location of the Bokoblin camp on the map.

2

Locate the Bokoblin Camp on Hebra Plateau

Head northwest from Rito Village onto the Hebra South Summit plateau. The Bokoblin camp is visible from above as a cluster of wooden structures around a bonfire, with Blue and Red Bokoblins clustered around it. One of the larger Bokoblins is waving the flute around as a prize — it is visually distinct from their weapons due to its ivory color and smaller size.

3

Raid the Camp and Retrieve the Flute

The most effective approach is to use a bomb arrow to disperse the group from range, then charge in and focus on the Bokoblin holding the flute. Alternatively, sneak around behind the camp and paraglide in to grab the flute with Ultrahand before the Bokoblins react. If you want a clean fight, use elemental attacks — the blizzard conditions make fire arrows especially powerful here.

4

Return the Flute and Collect the Reward

Bring the carved bone flute back to the young Rito musician in the village. He is overjoyed and immediately plays a short melody to test that it survived unharmed. As thanks, he gives you three Rito Plumes — valuable arrow crafting materials — and 80 Rupees saved from his performance tips. He begins practicing again daily and can be found on the same platform in the morning playing.
