Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: The Duchess Who Disappeared Walkthrough
To accept The Duchess Who Disappeared side quest, you must start the Regional Phenomena story quest in Rito Village. After that, you can head north of the village towards Hebra Tundra. Once you reach the gorge to the right of Biron Snowshelf, keep going straight until you reach a small plateau on top of a cliff. Climb to the top and talk to NPC Fin by the fire to accept The Duchess Who Disappeared quest.
It’s worth noting that if you go to East Biron Snowshelf Cave, you’ll accept the quest directly from Selmie. So, you have two ways to start this side quest.
Talking to Fin, you will learn that he is a student of a great shield surfing master named Selmie. Selmie went to East Biron Snowshelf Cave quite a while ago and still hasn’t returned. To complete The Duchess Who Disappeared side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you must enter East Biron Snowshelf Cave and find Selmie. Here’s how to do it.
- Talking to Fin, jump off the cliff and glide towards the west gorge wall. You will immediately notice the entrance to the cave and can enter.
- Moving deeper into the cave, you will encounter stone piles several times, so blow them up to go further. Use arrows from Bomb Flower, Yunobo, or any other way to clear the path.
