How To Unlock Spotting Spot Side Quest TotK
To unlock the Spotting Spot quest, you must first complete the Incomplete Stable quest and clear at least one temple. The latter is critical to progressing in the game, but each is required for 100% completion if you’re going for it.
The quest giver for Spotting Spot is Lester, a friendly character located at Lookout Landing who you will have become accustomed to with the Incomplete Stable quest.
Lester’s love for horses, particularly those with spotted coats, triggers this quest as his is missing. The objective is simple: find Spot, the spotty-coated horse, and bring him back to Lester.
Where To Find Spot TotK
Spot can be found in the plains just southwest of Lookout Landing. Here is a look at the in-game map of where you need to go in order to be in the general area for this horse:
Navigating through the terrain, you will notice Spot due to his distinctive spotty coat, setting him apart from the other horses. His distinct markings make Spot easy to identify, thus simplifying the process of finding him.
Once you’ve located Spot, approach him cautiously and mount him. Horses in Tears of the Kingdom can be easily frightened, so a slow and measured approach will ensure Spot does not run away.
Once mounted and tamed, guide Spot back to Lookout Landing. You shouldn’t encounter enemies but keeping an eye out for any potential threats or obstacles on the way back is always a good idea.
Upon your return to Lookout Landing, present Spot to Lester. He rewards your efforts with a Purple Rupee, worth 50, potentially a significant boost to your currency pool at this point in the game, as well as a Swift Carrot.
Interestingly, Lester doesn’t want to keep Spot and allows you to register him at any stable.
Registering Spot allows you to call on him whenever you require transportation, making him a useful companion throughout your adventures in Tears of the Kingdom. Spot’s distinct appearance also adds a dash of visual diversity to your gameplay.
In conclusion, the Spotting Spot side quest offers an enjoyable and rewarding detour from the main storyline of Tears of the Kingdom.
By locating and securing Spot, you not only earn valuable rewards but also gain a loyal equine companion for your continued journey in the game. With this guide, you’re all set to embark on this adventurous quest.
