The Long Dragon Quest Tears Of The Kingdom (Guide)

Don't know what exactly you have to do after investigating the Thyphlo Ruins? Then, check out the Zelda TotK Long Dragon quest walkthrough.

In Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TotK), investigating the Thyphlo Ruins will give you the Long Dragon quest. All 4 of the ruins tend to trigger 4 different quests, that lead you to a treasure chest containing a sweet loot. But as easy as these quests are, the game describes very little about what exactly you have to do. Similarly, after examining one of the ruins it tells you to display the power of the Sage of Lightning at the end of Long Dragon. If you’re not sure about what the riddle means, then we’ll help you out with it.

How to Complete Long Dragon Quest in TotK

In Tears of the Kingdom (TotK), to complete the Long Dragon quest use the Riju Lightning ability at 0451, 3083, 0175. After using the ability, fire an arrow at a platform or the dragon’s tail found at the same coordinates. And then, it’ll reveal the hidden treasure chest you’re looking for. If you’re still having trouble with the quest, then scroll down for a detailed walkthrough.
