There are a total of 4 locations where you can find the Strange Tooth. The quest begins once you pick one up from any of the 4 locations.

Don't worry about which one you pick up initially, because during the quest you will have to collect the 3 remaining ones.

This can be found fairly easily, head over to the area and look for a cave entrance. The Strange Tooth should just be right in front of the glowing red heart.

2. Protected by a Frostarm Sawachurl

3. Middle of the river encased in ice

There is also a Cryo Abyss Mage and a Hydro Abyss Mage in the area, you can defeat them first so that it will be easier to collect the Strange Tooth.

4. Protected by some Fatui

This Strange Tooth is protected by some Fatui Harbingers, and you can find it by interacting with some shiny objects.
