During the dialogue, Aya will point you to a large tree near the cliff. Approaching it, you will be able to see all 3 Pirate ships. They contain quite a few enemies, including Boss Bokoblin, Moblins, Bokoblins, and Aerocudas. And since these are quite strong enemies, you will need the right strategy to win.
So, to complete The Gathering Pirates in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you must defeat all the Pirates on three ships. Therefore, go a little north along the cliff to get closer to the ships. Then jump and use the Paraglider to fly to them.
We recommend that you land on one of the masts, as there are bombs on them. Throw them at the enemies below to deal a lot of damage. But be careful as you can also take damage from the explosions. Also, try to fight each enemy separately to increase your chances of winning.
If you haven’t been spotted on other ships, you can fly there quietly and take out a few enemies with Sneakstrike. Otherwise, just use the same tactics with bombs. And don’t forget to destroy the Aerocudas as soon as you see them. These creatures are not very strong but very annoying.
After you beat all the Pirates, you can open the Treasure Chest on one of the masts. Inside will be a Blue Hinox Hammer. Then return to Aya to complete The Gathering Pirates quest and get 2 Pony Points and an Endura Carrot.
That’s all you need to know about how to complete The Gathering Pirates quest in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. It is quite a straightforward quest. However, without the right strategy, you can get killed quickly. Therefore, follow our advice to defeat all the Pirates.
