How to Complete The Mysterious Eighth - Returning the Orbs |
---|
Use the Sleigh Seal you rented and attached the orb to it. Return to Gerudo Town to give Rotana the last orb needed.
Use the Ultrahand ability to place the orbs on the hands of the statues. Make sure to match the symbols etched on the orbs and statues accordingly.
Once you have placed all of the orbs correctly, a secret entrance will reveal itself. Enter the newly found place to discover a giant orb.
Rotana mentioned that you need to head to the North Gerudo Ruins with the giant orb. Use the Ultrahand ability to grab the ball and take it there.
Place the giant orb in front of the Gerudo Sanctuary to open the gate leading inside. Be careful of the enemies lurking in the North Gerudo Ruins as they can hinder you from reaching the place.
Enter the sanctuary until you find a passage blocked by tiles. Use the Ultrahand to set the tiles aside and open up the blocked passage. You might encounter Gibdos along the way. Use elemental attacks to make them vulnerable, then follow up with melee attacks.
Continue deeper into the sanctuary until you find an area with collapsible floors. Use your glider to maneuver into a hidden passage below. If you fall all the way to the bottom, you can use the Ascend ability to get into the hidden passage.
Press on until you find a room with three panels. Use the Ultrahand ability to move the panel on the left and reveal a hidden passage. Be careful of moving the panel in the middle, as there is a Gibdo hiding behind it.
Continue heading deeper into the sanctuary until you reach an area with breakable rocks. Use a blunt weapon break the rocks.
The last hurdle in the sanctuary is getting past the collapsible floors leading to the Statue of the Eighth Heroine Room. Sprint past the collapsible floors and jump when necessary.
Enter the room and interact with the stone tablet to learn the mystery behind the Eighth Heroine. You will also find a Gerudo Shield, Gerudo Scimitar, Gerudo Bow, Gerudo Spear, Gerudo Claymore, Topaz, Ruby, and Sapphire inside the room. Make sure to grab them!
Head back to the Gerudo Sanctuary and talk to Rotana. Tell her the truth behind the Eighth Heroine to finish the side quest and get your reward!

Nice guide, thanks. One mistake though. For the fourth orb, you mean 'SouthEAST' side of town, not 'Southwest'.Had me confused for a little bit there until I read the minimap.
