Souls of the Gorons overview

Souls of the Gorons is an optional side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that asks Link to support a Goron apprentice whose weapon project has stalled.

Souls of the Gorons takes place in Goron City, in the Eldin Canyon region of Hyrule. The quest is centered on Fugo, an apprentice who is attempting to craft the Boulder Breaker but no longer has the materials needed to complete the project. Its setting makes the task a local Goron City errand rather than a journey across several regions.

Fugo previously sold the materials he needed for the weapon so that he could purchase marbled rock roast instead. To help him recover from that decision and earn his master's approval, Link must supply a cobble crusher, three diamonds, and five pieces of flint. The requirements are item-based, so the main preparation is checking Link's inventory before returning to Fugo.

The quest concludes when the requested materials are provided for Fugo's work. Its listed reward is the Boulder Breaker weapon, making the quest relevant to players interested in Goron equipment and weapon collection. The available information does not establish a special combat encounter, branching decision, or separate collectible tied to this quest.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Reach the quest location

    Travel to Goron City

    Go to Goron City in the Eldin Canyon region of Hyrule and look for the apprentice connected with the Boulder Breaker project. The available quest information does not identify a separate route, entrance, or activation requirement, so use the settlement as the search area.

    Location: Goron City, Eldin Canyon

    TipCheck your inventory before seeking out Fugo so you know whether the requested materials are already available.

  2. 02

    Learn what Fugo needs

    Speak with Fugo

    Find Fugo and learn that he is struggling to craft the Boulder Breaker. He previously sold the necessary materials to purchase marbled rock roast, which explains why the project cannot proceed without Link's help.

    Location: Goron City

    Watch outDo not assume that any collection of weapons or ore will satisfy the request; the stated hand-in calls for a cobble crusher, diamonds, and flint.

  3. 03

    Obtain the quest materials

    Gather the requested materials

    Prepare one cobble crusher, three diamonds, and five pieces of flint for Fugo. The available source material confirms the exact requested items and quantities, but it does not specify their individual locations or a dedicated gathering route.

    Location: Hyrule inventory and Goron City

    TipCount the diamonds and pieces of flint before returning, since the quantities are part of the requirement.

  4. 04

    Give Fugo the required materials

    Return the materials to Fugo

    Return to Fugo in Goron City with the cobble crusher, three diamonds, and five pieces of flint. Providing the complete set supports his weapon project and helps him pursue his master's approval.

Mission mechanics

The central mechanic is a material hand-in. Rather than asking Link to defeat a named enemy or solve a dungeon puzzle, the quest checks for a specific cobble crusher alongside fixed quantities of diamonds and flint. This makes inventory preparation more important than combat preparation.

Fugo's backstory gives the collection task its context: he sold the necessary materials to buy marbled rock roast, leaving his Boulder Breaker project incomplete. Link's role is to replace those materials so the apprentice can continue working toward his master's approval.

The reward structure is direct. Once the requested materials have been provided, the quest grants the Boulder Breaker. No choice-based outcome, boss phase, or separate collectible has been confirmed for this quest in the supplied material.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The objective is easy to understand because Fugo names the required materials.
  • The quest has a clear local setting in Goron City rather than an unclear multi-region route.
  • The reward is a named weapon, giving the material hand-in a concrete payoff.

Weaknesses

  • The quest depends on having or finding a cobble crusher, three diamonds, and five pieces of flint.
  • The available information does not provide a dedicated location guide for each required material.
  • Its optional status means players can overlook it if they are focused only on the main story.

Best uses

  • Complete it when you want the Boulder Breaker or are already carrying the requested materials.
  • Use the requirements list as an inventory check before returning to Goron City.
