TotK Strongest in the World: Chabi, Lynel Horn Weapons, Rewards

Behind East Akkala Stable is a traveler named Chabi who makes weapons out of all sorts of materials, aiming for the strongest weapon in the world. She is convinced the answer is a Lynel horn, but she cannot beat a Lynel, so she just wants to see a weapon made with one. That is the side quest Strongest in the World in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Every side quest is on all side quests.

What does Chabi want?

When you talk to Chabi while holding an unusual weapon, she asks, “Hm! That’s an unusual weapon you have there. Where did you get it?” Otherwise she asks, “I get the sense you’re a swordsman. You interested in weapons?” Whatever you answer, she ends up telling you her goal:

If I could only get ahold of that Lynel’s horn… I’m sure I could make the strongest weapon in the world!

But she admits, “I know I haven’t got the skill to take down a Lynel.” Instead she wishes someone would show her the weapon of her dreams: “I’d give them a nice reward.”

Where is the Lynel, and how do you beat it?

Chabi saw one “near the entrance to Tempest Gulch.” That Lynel is in North Akkala Valley, northwest of the stable.

She also has advice. Fighting head-on is a bad idea; “If you rode on its back though… That might be a different story. The trick would be hitting the Lynel’s weak spot so that it gets low enough for you to climb on top.” In practice: shoot it in the head, and while it is stunned, run in and mount it. The full strategy and every other Lynel are on Lynel locations.

How do you show Chabi the weapon?

1. Fuse the Lynel horn to a weapon and hold it when you go to her.
2. She stops you: “Hey, that weapon you’re holding! Let me see it!” Choose “Sure thing!”
3. If you are on horseback, she asks you to get off your horse first.
4. After a look she declares, “That settles it. This is the strongest weapon in the world!” and gives you her reward.

The reward depends on the horn:

Then she is already thinking ahead: “Then again, the world’s a big place. Who knows? Maybe a stronger weapon is out there somewhere. Someday I’ll return the favor and show you a weapon of my own making!”
