TotK Ousting the Giants: The Three Hinox Cave Locations
Complete Ousting the Giants in Tears of the Kingdom: find the Hinox in the three lake caves near Lakeside Stable, defeat them and report to Kampo.
Which giants does Kampo want defeated?
The three Hinox inside the caves by Corta Lake, Rodai Lake and Calora Lake. Ousting the Giants in Tears of the Kingdom does not accept three random Hinox elsewhere in Hyrule. Start by speaking to Kampo at Lakeside Stable — Show on map.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite | Speak to Kampo and accept the quest; no special tool unlock is needed for the hand-in |
| Preparation | Bows, arrows, strong melee weapons and healing food |
| Objective | Defeat the three specified cave Hinox |
| Reward | Mighty Fried Bananas, after returning to Kampo |
Where are the three caves?
The lake caves are north of the stable. Use the entrance links rather than assuming the lake surface itself leads directly to each monster.
| Cave | Entrance map | What to confirm inside |
|---|---|---|
| Corta Lake Cave | Show on map | Find and defeat the Hinox in the cave |
| Rodai Lakefront Tunnel | Show on map | Continue into the tunnel until you reach the giant |
| Calora Lake Cave | Show on map | Clear the Hinox, not just the smaller enemies along the route |
You can explore these in any order. Bring a rock-breaking weapon for cave obstructions and spare arrows for the fights. The cave guide covers cave completion separately from side-quest completion.
How should you fight a Hinox in a cave?
- Check the floor and walls before waking it. Keep enough space behind you to retreat.
- Shoot the eye when it is uncovered. The stun gives you a safer opportunity to close in.
- Attack during the opening, then back off before its next swing or body attack.
- If it covers its eye, reposition and wait for a clear shot rather than firing arrows into its hand.
- After the defeat, check the Adventure Log before moving to the next cave.
A durable fused weapon is useful because these are three separate fights. Do not spend every strong weapon in the first cave if you are still short of supplies. The Hinox combat guide covers eye stuns and leg protection in more detail.
How do you track a missing brother?
The Adventure Log reduces the remaining count as the specified brothers are defeated. If one remains, revisit the three cave entries in the table and identify which cave you have not finished. A map checkmark from killing a Bubbulfrog is not proof that the Hinox inside was defeated.
You do not have to collect all treasure, ore or Bubbul Gems to satisfy Kampo. Those can be worthwhile detours, but they are separate objectives.
How do you claim the reward?
After all three are defeated, return to Kampo at Lakeside Stable and report. He gives Mighty Fried Bananas. For other regional objectives, use the side-quest list; for the broader boss checklist, see monster medals.
