BotW A Shady Customer: Kilton Photo and Hoz’s Reward

How do you complete A Shady Customer?

Take a photograph of Kilton and show it to Hoz at East Akkala Stable. This side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild does not require buying anything from Fang and Bone or defeating its owner. The reward is a Silver Rupee.

Talk to Hoz at East Akkala Stable and accept his request. You need the Sheikah Slate’s Camera; if it is still missing, follow the rune and Camera guide first.

Where is Kilton before your first meeting?

Go to Skull Lake in northern Akkala after dark. Kilton stands on the lower of the lake’s two eye-shaped islands. The much taller island holds Zuna Kai Shrine, which is a useful landmark, but it is not the shop’s platform.

Visit at night rather than waiting on an empty island during the day. If this is your first encounter, take the photograph before or during your visit so you do not have to find him again after he moves.

How do you take a photograph that counts?

1. Select the Camera rune and frame Kilton himself.
2. Adjust your distance or angle until the camera recognizes his name.
3. Take the picture and keep it in the album.
4. Return to Hoz at the stable and show him the photograph through dialogue.

A console screenshot does not go into the in-game Camera album. Likewise, a wide photograph of the cart can miss Kilton as its subject. Check the recognition marker before taking the shot.

What if Kilton has already left Skull Lake?

After your first conversation, Kilton starts visiting the outskirts of settlements at night. You can photograph him at those later locations too; the quest is about his identity, not a particular lake backdrop.

The Fang and Bone location guide lists his stops. One option is Korne Beach outside Lurelin Village, where the monster-decorated cart is easy to recognize after dark.

What should you check if Hoz will not finish the quest?

Once Hoz accepts the picture, collect the Silver Rupee. Shop currency, inventory and monster medals are separate systems covered in the Fang and Bone guide; the side quest list lists the other Akkala requests.
