Quest Overview
Three researchers — Akrah, Onya, and Bhodi — are debating what killed the three massive Leviathan skeletons found across Hyrule. The Eldin Leviathan skeleton is buried near Eldin Canyon. Examine the exposed bones, gather evidence, and report your findings to the trio. Each researcher has a different theory: Drought, Cold, or Blight. The correct answer based on the bone evidence earns a substantial Rupee reward and advances the three-part quest chain.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Find the Researchers
Akrah, Onya, and Bhodi debate near the East Akkala Stable. Speak with all three to start the chain. Akrah believes drought killed the Leviathans, Onya suspects a cold snap, and Bhodi thinks blight. They ask Link to visit all three skeletons and gather evidence.
2
Examine the Eldin Leviathan
The Eldin Leviathan skeleton is northwest of Death Mountain near Eldin Canyon. Fireproof Elixir or Flamebreaker armor required. The bones show carbonized heat scoring with no water erosion — evidence of prolonged intense heat. This supports Akrah's drought theory.
3
Report Eldin Evidence
Return to the researchers. Select 'Drought' for Eldin. They accept the partial report and encourage you to investigate the remaining two skeletons.
