Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1

Speak with Paya

Find Paya at Impa's house in Kakariko Village. She explains the heirloom — a ceremonial Sheikah eye pendant — has vanished from its display case overnight.

2

Investigate the Village

Question the villagers about any strangers seen near the house. Three separate NPCs provide clues pointing toward the eastern watchtower.

3

Follow the Trail

Follow the trail of clues east out of the village toward a hidden cave. Signs of Yiga Clan activity become apparent — banana peels and displaced rocks mark the path.

4

Infiltrate the Yiga Hideout

A small Yiga Clan cell has established a cave hideout east of Kakariko. Defeat three Yiga Footsoldiers and the Yiga Blademaster inside to recover the stolen pendant.

5

Return the Heirloom to Paya

Bring the recovered pendant back to Paya. She is deeply grateful and shares a piece of Sheikah family history as thanks.
