Guide to Misko's Cave of Chests side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Learn where to start, how to find the correct chest, and claim your reward.
Alright, so you're looking for Misko's Cave of Chests, huh? This is a pretty straightforward side quest, and it's located in the Eldin region. You'll want to head towards Cephla Lake, which is northwest of the Zora Domain. If you've been to the Foothill Stable, it's just north of there. The Kisinona Shrine is super close too, just over the hill, so that's a great landmark to aim for.
When you get close, look for smoke coming from a campfire. You'll find two NPCs there, Prissen and Domidak, hanging out by a cave entrance. They're on the hunt for Misko's treasure, but there are a ton of chests inside, and they have no clue which one is the right one. That's where you come in!
- 1Find the Cave: Head to Cephla Lake in Eldin, northwest of Zora Domain. The Kisinona Shrine is a good reference point. Look for the campfire and the two NPCs, Prissen and Domidak, near the cave entrance.
- 2Talk to the NPCs: Chat with Prissen and Domidak to get the quest. They'll mention needing the 'nose of a dog' to find the right chest.
- 3Find the Dog: You'll notice a dog chilling near the campfire. You can't interact with it directly, but you can give it food!
- 4Feed the Dog: Open your inventory, select any food item, and choose 'Hold'. Drop the food on the ground near the dog. You'll need to give it a total of four food items. Apples are easy to find, and there are some right by the tent on a crate.
- 5Follow the Dog: Once the dog eats the fourth item, it'll head towards the Cephla Lake Cave. Follow it inside!
- 6Locate the Chest: Wait for the dog to lay down in front of a specific chest. That's the one you need to open. If it's stuck in the ground, use your Ultrahand ability to pull it out.
- 7Open the Chest: Open the correct chest to receive the Ember Trousers. The NPCs will begrudgingly congratulate you.
- Any food item will work for the dog, so don't stress too much about finding specific things. Apples are just convenient.
- Make sure you drop all four food items at once or in quick succession so the dog doesn't wander off.
- If the chest is buried, don't forget you have Ultrahand to help you out!
- Ember Trousers
- Unlocks the side quest
