TotK Mired in Muck: Wash Bazz Free and Get the Zora Spear
Rescue Bazz near Upland Zorana Skyview Tower in Tears of the Kingdom. Use Splash Fruit or Chuchu Jelly on the sludge, then make space for a Zora Spear.
How do you free Bazz?
Hit the sludge around him with water, then speak to him again. Mired in Muck is a short Tears of the Kingdom side quest beside Upland Zorana Skyview Tower. A Splash Fruit is enough; you do not need to finish the Water Temple first.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Giver | Bazz, trapped near the tower entrance |
| Location | Upland Zorana Skyview Tower — Show on map |
| Prerequisite | Reach the tower area and talk to the trapped Zora |
| Bring | Splash Fruit or ordinary Chuchu Jelly; an empty weapon slot |
| Reward | Zora Spear |
Listen for the Zora calling for help and inspect the sludge beside the approach. The mound trapping Bazz and the mud blocking the tower entrance are separate targets.
Which water method should you use?
| Method | How to apply it |
|---|---|
| Splash Fruit | Throw the fruit at the sludge so it bursts directly on the target |
| Arrow with Splash Fruit | Fuse the fruit to an arrow if you want a more controlled shot |
| Ordinary Chuchu Jelly | Throw or burst the blue jelly to produce a splash of water |
Use ordinary blue jelly for water. Red, Yellow and White Chuchu Jelly have different elemental effects. You do not need an explosive or a heavy smashing weapon.
The Splash Fruit and Chuchu guide help you identify the right items. Throwing a material directly saves an arrow if you can stand close enough to aim safely.
What are the exact completion steps?
- Speak to the trapped Zora and accept Mired in Muck.
- Move where you can see the sludge around him clearly.
- Throw a Splash Fruit or burst ordinary Chuchu Jelly on that mound.
- Once the sludge clears, speak to Bazz again.
- Accept the Zora Spear. If he says you have no room, clear a weapon slot and repeat the conversation.
If the water lands but nothing happens, check your target. You may have washed the tower doorway while leaving Bazz’s mound untouched. Move closer and aim at the sludge surrounding the NPC.
What else is needed to activate the tower?
Freeing Bazz completes his rescue; activating the tower is a separate interaction. Wash the sludge off the entrance, enter, and use the terminal. For the rest of the towers, see the Skyview Tower guide.
The spear is a usable weapon, not a required offering for another step in this quest. Its properties are on the Zora Spear page. Continue toward Zora’s Domain or return to the side-quest list.
