Complete The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's 'Decorate with Passion' side quest. Learn where to find Boraa, how to get Rubies, and the best way to complete the quest.
Alright, let's get this side quest, 'Decorate with Passion,' sorted out in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It's a pretty straightforward one once you know what you're looking for, so don't stress about it!
Walkthrough
- 1Where to Start: First things first, you'll need to be in the Gerudo Region. Don't worry about the sandstorm; you don't need to brave it to start this quest. Just head towards the Kara Kara Bazaar. On the eastern side of the bazaar, you'll spot a soldier named Boraa sitting on the ground near two chests. Chat with her to kick off the 'Decorate with Passion' side quest.
- 2The Goal: Boraa's mentor wants her to decorate a weapon stylishly, something that "sparkles" and "radiates burning passion." The catch is, her mentor is allergic to monster parts, so you can't use those. This means you need to find a way to make a weapon look fiery and passionate without using monster materials.
- 3Finding a Ruby: The key here is a Ruby. You need to fuse a Ruby to any weapon in your inventory. Now, where do you find these precious gems?
- Rare Ore Nodes: Keep an eye out for these rocky outcrops, especially on the southern side of Death Mountain. They sometimes drop Rubies.
- 4Stone Talus (Rare): These minibosses are another source. There's one located in Tanagar Canyon, which is north of the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower.
- 5An Alternative: Wizzrobes: There's another, perhaps quicker, way to get a Ruby-equipped weapon. Certain enemies, specifically Fire Wizzrobes and their tougher variant, Meteo Wizzrobes, often carry weapons already fused with a Ruby. These Wizzrobes can be a bit annoying because they teleport, but they aren't too difficult to defeat. If you're having trouble, try fusing a Chill Fruit to an arrow – it's a great way to instantly defeat them.
- 6Completing the Quest: Once you've got your Ruby (either by mining, defeating a Talus, or taking down a Wizzrobe), fuse it to any weapon you have. It doesn't matter what kind of weapon it is, just make sure the Ruby is attached. Then, head back to Boraa at the Kara Kara Bazaar and show her your newly decorated weapon.
- Upon showing Boraa the Ruby-fused weapon, she'll thank you, and you'll receive an Electric Keese Wing as your reward. Easy peasy!
Tips
- Don't waste time trying to find monster parts for this quest; the game specifically tells you that won't work because of the mentor's allergy.
- If you're struggling to find Rubies, hunting down Fire or Meteo Wizzrobes is often the most direct route.
- Remember to fuse the Ruby to a weapon *before* you show it to Boraa. Just having a Ruby in your inventory won't do the trick!
