The Mysterious Eighth

Hear the Rumor of the Eighth Heroine

After placing all seven orbs in the Seven Heroines quest, speak with Rotana or the Gerudo women near the town entrance. One mentions a faded tablet in the Gerudo library referencing an eighth warrior — one erased from official history. A scholar near the Highland Stable has a partial map noting ice caves in the Gerudo Highlands northeast of Gerudo Summit.

Reach the Ice Caves in the Highlands

Travel to the Gerudo Highlands and climb the northeast face above 3000m altitude. Equip Snowquill Armor or consume Spicy Elixir — the temperature is extreme. Look for a cave opening partially covered by thick ice formations near a geothermal vent that keeps the entrance slightly thawed. The cave is marked by a faint carved eye symbol worn nearly flat by centuries of frost.

Navigate the Ice Caverns to the Inner Chamber

The cave winds through chambers of blue-tinged ice. Move blocks using Ultrahand to clear path obstructions, watch for icicle-trap pressure plates, and defeat two Ice Lizalfos guarding the deeper section. The innermost chamber has a thick frost-covered stone door bearing the same eye symbol from the entrance — break it with a bomb arrow or heavy weapon strike.

Discover the Forgotten Statue and Claim Your Reward

Behind the stone door stands a statue identical in style to the Seven Heroines but smaller, partially buried in permafrost. Its inscription reads: "She who chose love over law — warrior, exile, forgotten." Examining it completes the quest. A chest beside the statue contains the Radiant Shirt, which glows faintly in Gloom-heavy areas. A journal entry about the eighth heroine's exile is added to the lore archive.
