TotK Gleeok Guts Side Quest: Malena, the Flame Gleeok, Reward
Gleeok Guts side quest in Tears of the Kingdom: find Malena in Gerudo Canyon, beat the Flame Gleeok on Spectacle Rock for its guts, and collect a Gold Rupee.
In a small camp in Gerudo Canyon, the Gerudo Malena is looking after her husband Platt. The two were on their wedding adventure when he collapsed, and she is sure only a medicine made from Gleeok guts can cure him. That is the side quest Gleeok Guts in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Every side quest is on all side quests.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Starts at | A small camp southeast of Gerudo Canyon Stable, near Gerudo Canyon Mine (Show on map) |
| Task | Give Malena one Gleeok Guts |
| Nearest Gleeok | The Flame Gleeok on Spectacle Rock (Show on map) |
| Reward | Gold Rupee (300 rupees) |
What does Malena need?
The camp sits between Gerudo Canyon Stable and Gerudo Canyon Mine, with a man lying motionless under the tent. Malena blames herself: “My husband collapsed all because I insisted we go on a wedding adventure. I should not have pushed for it. If I had Gleeok guts, I could save him…”
A Gleeok is a three-headed monster, and she knows where to find one: “I know there’s one that flies over Gerudo Canyon, but attacking it would be difficult.” She cannot fight it herself.
Where do you fight a Gleeok?
The nearest is the Flame Gleeok on Spectacle Rock, a short way east of the camp. Shoot its three heads with arrows; once all three are hit it falls to the ground, and you can run in and attack the heads. Flame Gleeoks are weak to ice, so frost arrows or ice weapons make the fight much easier. Every Gleeok’s location, HP and strategy is on Gleeok locations.
What happens when you hand in the guts?
Bring the guts back to the camp, talk to Malena and choose “Here, have this.” She can hardly believe it: “C-could this be? Gleeok guts?!” and gets straight to making the medicine.
Platt recovers as soon as he takes it. Malena thanks you with a Gold Rupee, worth 300 rupees, and the couple decide to carry on with their wedding adventure.
If you already carry Gleeok guts (from a King Gleeok, for example), you can choose “Here, have this.” as soon as you talk to her and finish on the spot.
