All Thyphlo Ruins Riddle Locations
For this quest, it's inevitable to finish the quests connected to the four sages, meaning you'll have to complete the four main Temples, the Wind Temple, the Fire Temple, the Lightning Temple and the Water Temple. After you finished a temple and return to the Thyphlo Ruins, Kazul will have found a new monolith with an inscription. This riddle will lead you to a location in the ruins where you have to demonstrate your new powers.
While the Thyphlo Ruins aren't that big, they're a little bit labyrinthine and confusing, making it hard to find a specific formation or sculpture. On the map below you can see the vague locations of the different Thyphlo Ruin riddle locations.
Sage of Wind Riddle Location
Since the Wind Temple is often the first to be completed, the first slab with a riddle on it will be the one concerning the Sage of the Wind. The riddle which leaves Kazul puzzled is the following:
Display the power of the Sage of Wind to the owl protected by many dragons.
Said owl isn't far from the campfire. Just climb over the ruins behind the slate and you're basically there. The coordinates are roughly 0364, 3062, 0174. Before the owl, you'll notice a square tile of stone. Summon Tulin and use the wind power over the square, and a room will rise from beneath with a chest in it.
- The Thyphlo Ruins are quite mysterious. If you'd like to know more about Hyrules mysteries, feel free to check out the Zelda Encyclopedia
Sage of Fire Riddle Location
As soon as you have finished the Fire Temple and received Yunobo's vow, you'll find out there was a new riddle discovered, this time about the Sage of fire.
Display the power of the Sage of Fire to blaze through the space between two dragons, from head to tail.
This one is a little bit further away. If you're starting from the Thyphlo Ruin Skyview Tower, head west and watch out for the constructs! Although it says from head to tail, I'd recommend doing it the other way round, facing the place where the chest will show up. Just let Yunobo dash through the corridor and collect your reward from the emerged chest. You can find the corridor at roughly 0162, 3122 0174.
Sage of Lightning Riddle Location
After completing Riju's quest and have completed the Lightning Temple, Kazul will have discovered a new monolith with an inscription.
Display the power of the Sage of Lightning at the end of the long dragon that protects the mountain of death.
Head over to the part of the island facing towards Death Mountain and at roughly 0444, 3030, 0174 you'll spot a dragon head looking towards the mountain. You can follow its body for quite a bit until you'll reach the end with again a square stone plate. Use Riju's power and an arrow to aim at this stone square and, again, watch a room emerge from the ground.
Sage of Water Riddle Location
As soon as you've completed Sidon of the Zora's quest series and finished the Water Temple, the last riddle in the Thyphlo Ruins will be found.
Display the power of the Sage of Water in the presence of the six dragons.
These six dragons can be found in the middle of the small pond on the northeastern site of the Thyphlo Ruins, not far from the corridor where the Sage of Fire Riddle led you. The dragon heads, forming a circle, can be found roughly at 0188, 3175, 0174. Summon Sidon and let him form the water bubble around Link. Charge a spin attack and release it into the center of the circle to demonstrate the power.
Finishing the Thyphlo Ruins Investigation
After you've finished all four temples and found all four riddle locations (thanks to this guide, of course) you can talk to Kazul once again. This time he hasn't brought the monolith next to his campsite, but he will direct you to another room that has emerged from the ground. There is a fifth monolith and as soon as you interact with it, Kazul will read the inscription out loud and hand you a reward for your help. Again the emerged room contains a treasure chest an inside it, you will find Dusk Claymore and with this complete the whole Thyphlo Ruins quest series.
While there's no Gleeok hanging around the Thyphlo Ruins, be prepared in case you stumble across one!
