BotW Stalhorse: Pictured! Where to Find a Stalhorse at Night

Stalhorse: Pictured! is a short side quest at Snowfield Stable in the Hebra region of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. All it asks is one picture of a Stalhorse, the skeleton horse that Stalkoblins ride at night. The catch is knowing where and when they show up. For the full list of side quests see the side quest list.

How do you start Stalhorse: Pictured!?

Juannelle is inside Snowfield Stable, out on the Tabantha snowfields. She calls herself the best source of information in Hyrule, but this time the cold has beaten her: “I heard there was a Stalhorse in this area, but I can’t take it any longer! It’s too cold to look anymore!” Agree to help and she asks for a picture or notes, anything that shows her the creature.

She also gives you her lead: “There’s a rumor that it can be found with Stalkoblins in the North Tabantha Snowfield. Some have reported it aaaaall the way on the other side of the snow field to the east, right in front of these bizarre ruins.”

You need the Camera, which Purah restores at Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. If you do not have it yet, see the Hyrule Compendium guide.

Where and when do Stalhorses appear?

Stalhorses are not wild animals: the game places them as the mounts of mounted Stalkoblins, and like every Stal monster they come out only at night (see Stal monsters). Wait at a fire or sleep at the stable until evening, then head out.

The two spots Juannelle names are both close to the stable:

If you happen to be elsewhere at night, the game puts more Stalkoblins on Stalhorses at these places too:

How do you take the picture?

Open the Camera from the Sheikah Slate and point it at a Stalhorse. When it is framed well enough, a red ”!” and the name Stalhorse appear next to it; take the shot then. You do not need to fight the rider first; the picture works from a distance.

The quest checks the pictures in your album, so do not delete this one until Juannelle has seen it. Photographing the Stalhorse also adds it to the Hyrule Compendium.

What is the reward?

Go back to Snowfield Stable and show Juannelle the picture. Her reaction: “Wha—? This is the bony horse? That Stalhorse… It’s a monster!” She traces it for an article and pays you a Silver Rupee, worth 100 rupees.

If you come back late at night, Juannelle may be asleep. Talk to her anyway; she complains about being woken up and then hears you out.
