The game you play in this quest is simply a matter of finding the location of something; once you interact with it, the quest is pretty much done. This will mean the quest will only last a couple of seconds of actual gameplay.

Updated by Chad Thesen on 29 June 2023: This guide was published along with two quest guides that act as prerequisites for The Mysterious Eighth. Now that all three are published, this one can be linked to the other two in order to help readers solve the others, as well as the addition of additional embedded links for the reader's convenience.

Initiating The Quest

Open your map and look at the Gerudo Desert. In this part of the map will be Gerudo Town. Use the shrine to fast-travel to the location, or come in through the front entrance. If you came in through the front entrance, turn right as you come in to see an NPC standing next to an orb. If you used the shrine, jump over the end and use your glider to glide over to the entrance. While gliding, you will see this NPC and orb on your left instead. This orb will be part of the quest, The Mysterious Eighth. Speak with the NPC, and you will see her name is Dalia. Accept her challenge in the dialog to start the quest.

The game she wants to play is very similar to Hide and Seek, with the hider being a doll. This makes this a very easy quest to complete. A timer will count down, and a time limit of 1 minute and 30 seconds will start ticking down. You will see a brasier in the room with you. There are 4 streams of water around it. Take the stream opposite Dalia. This will move down a ramp. Go down this ramp and turn right. Look at the wall to see the stuffed doll. Use the Ultrahand to pick it up to complete the round.
