As with all the affected regions in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, dispelling the strange phenomena affecting Goron City and the Eldin Region will open up new opportunities for players. One of the newly available quests for players to find is "The Hidden Treasure at Lizard Lakes" from Bludo in Goron City. By completing this side quest, players are able to obtain one of Tears of the Kingdom's rarer pieces of armor.

Once Goron City is free of the Marbled Rock Roast, players can begin "The Hidden Treasure at Lizard Lakes" by speaking with Bludo in the center of Goron City. He can be found talking to Yunobo around the coordinates 1648, 2435, 0381.

Players will overhear Yunobo and Bludo discussing an odd order from Princess Zelda to stay away from the Lizard Lakes.

Although they are both unsure of Zelda's reasons, the situation does remind Bludo of an old nursery rhyme about the lizards.

He always assumed the nursery rhyme was describing a hidden treasure, but he was never able to find it.

After that, the conversation will end and the quest will begin, leaving players with only the lizard brothers' nursery rhyme as their guide.

Where to Find Lizard's Burrow

After starting the quest, players will want to make their way northeast toward the two lakes shaped like lizards. Players could travel on foot or teleport to the nearby Sibajitak Shrine to hasten the journey.

Players will be looking for a breakable rock wall around the coordinates 2200, 3079, 0405. It is located directly across from the northernmost lake with the lizard "looking" right at it.

Using bombs or a hammer-like weapon, players can destroy the rock wall to reveal the entrance to Lizard's Burrow.

Lizard's Burrow is a relatively straight tunnel with a few hot springs and a Bubbulfrog hidden behind some breakable rocks high on the wall.

At the end of the tunnel, players will find a chest containing the rumored treasure: the Vah Rudania Divine Helm.

Returning to Bludo after acquiring the treasure will prompt a reaction and provide closure for the mystery surrounding the Lizard Lakes.

While wearing the newly acquired Vah Rudania Divine Helm, players will gain a level of Flame Guard. Additionally, if players are accompanied by Yunobo's avatar while wearing it, the avatar will wear the past Sage of Fire's matching Zonaite helm.
