Tears of the Kingdom Orb Locations [All Locations]

Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom features a side quest titled “The Mysterious Eighth,” during which you must find seven orbs scattered throughout Gerudo Town. In this guide, I detail how to find all seven orb locations and complete the quest.

The Mysterious Eighth Quest

The Mysterious Eighth is a quest that requires you to find seven orbs scattered throughout Kara Kara Bazaar and Gerudo Town. This quest comes right after you finish “The Heroine’s Secret” and is tough to crack since the orbs are hard to locate.

1. Interact with Rotana: In the chamber with the statues, interact with Rotana to officially initiate the “The Mysterious Eighth” quest.

2. Find the Seven Orbs: You must locate seven orbs throughout Kara Kara Bazaar and Gerudo Town. Each orb corresponds to a unique symbol.

3. Place Orbs in Statues: Return to the chamber with the statues once you’ve found all seven orbs. Each statue has a unique symbol on its arm corresponding to the symbol on one of the orbs. Place each orb in its respective slot in the statue’s arms.

4. Unleash the Eighth Heroine: After you’ve placed all seven orbs in the statues, this action is speculated to unleash the Eighth Heroine.

Here are all of the seven orb locations:

Orb 1 Location

2. Before you enter the Heroine chamber, while Rotana is talking to you, you’ll see an orb right by the White Stelae she was talking to.
3. This will look like a black sphere with a specific logo on it. It’s hard to miss if you’ve noted the symbols on the statues.
4. If you missed the orb the first time, you can always return to the room and get the orb at any time.
