Learn how to start and finish the Codgers' Quarrel side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Find the Ring Ruin and defeat the monsters to help Kakariko Village.
Alright, let's get this side quest, Codgers' Quarrel, sorted out. It's a pretty straightforward one that'll have you heading out from Kakariko Village. First things first, you'll want to make sure you've got the Makasura Shrine activated in Kakariko. It's super handy for fast travel later, so get that done if you haven't already.
Once that's sorted, head into Kakariko Village. You're looking for the western general shop, the one that sells food. Talk to the shopkeeper, Trissa. She'll tell you the old guys who usually stock the place have gone off to the Ring Ruin to deal with some monsters. Apparently, they're always bickering about combat tactics, and with them gone, the shop's running low on supplies.
- 1Head to the Ring Ruin: Trissa mentions the old fellas went to the Ring Ruin, which is located in the hills west of Kakariko Village. To get there efficiently, make your way to the Makasura Shrine. From there, look southeast/east. You should spot a Zonai Dispenser device. Use your Paraglider to head towards it. Once you land near the dispenser, follow the path southwest, keeping to the north side of the mountain. You'll eventually see the ruins up ahead – that's your destination.
- 2Deal with the Monsters: When you arrive at the Ring Ruin, you'll find the two old guys arguing. They'll point out that monsters have taken over the place. Your job is to clear them out. You'll encounter some Bokoblins: three on the ground and one archer perched on top of the ruins. There are also two archers among the ground enemies. It's a good idea to try and lure the ground enemies away from the center of the ruins so you don't have to deal with the one on top right away. Focus on taking out the archers first, as they can be a real nuisance.
- 3Loot the Area: After you've dealt with all the Bokoblins, take a moment to explore the ruins. Inside one part of the ruins, you'll find some rocks. If you have a bomb or a hammer weapon, break these rocks to reveal a chest containing a Strong Zonaite Sword. Near the campfire, there's another chest with 5 Giant Brightbloom Seeds.
- 4Report Back: Once the monsters are gone and you've grabbed the loot, head back to the two old men. They'll be impressed by your efforts and will head off to do their own thing. Then, return to Trissa in Kakariko Village to let her know you've cleared out the monsters.
- Endura Carrot
- Swift Carrots will now be stocked in the shop.
- Make sure to activate Makasura Shrine before heading out to the Ring Ruin. It's a lifesaver for fast travel.
- Prioritize taking out the Bokoblin archers first, as they can make the fight much harder if left unchecked.
- Don't forget to break the rocks inside the ruins to find the hidden chest with the Strong Zonaite Sword!
