Guts and glory
Hyrule is back inTears of the Kingdom, and many of the locations are ones that players will remember fromBreath of the Wild. Gut Check Rock makes a return, and this should have players excited, as it was used for the Gut Check Challenge inBreath of the Wild.
To learn what there is to do at Gut Check Rock inTears of the Kingdom, read on.
Where is Gut Check Rock in Tears of the Kingdom?
You’ll find Gut Check Rock in the same place it was inBreath of the Wild. It is located on the far north side of Eldin. It stands to the left of Skull Lake and directly north of Death Mountain. The coordinates are: 2647, 3445, 0365. To get there, warp to Sibajitak Shrine orKimayat Shrine, which are not too far from the rock.
What to do at Gut Check Rock in Tears of the Kingdom?
There are a few activities at Gut Check Rock, though none of them are as exciting as the Gut Check Challenge ofTears of the Kingdom‘s predecessor. Firstly, near Gut Check Rock, there is a Hudson Construction sign that needs to be kept upright. The coordinates are: 2647, 3445, 0365.
Mineral deposits pepper Gut Check Rock. Use a weapon fused to a rock (or just a Cobble Crusher) to break the mineral deposits and claim the Amber they hold. This can be used to fuse with weapons, upgrade armor, or sell for Rupees.
There is also a hidden Korok. To find it, climb to the tall stone pillar at the center of Gut Check Rock. There you’ll find another rock that Link should climb. At the top, there is an arrow pointing Link to yet another rock. Glide there to locate the Korok and claim its Korok Seed. While you’re at the top of the stone pillar, run to the center and use Ultrahand to unearth the half-buried treasure chest. There are 100 Rupees inside waiting for you.
If you’re in the mood for some action, there is a Stone Talus at the following coordinates: 2688, 3290, 0239. Defeat it to score plenty of Amber along with a Luminous Stone Talus Heart. Lastly, dive into the waters surrounding Gut Check Rock. By dipping into the springs, Link’s health will be restored for free.
That’s it as far as Gut Check Rock activities go inTears of the Kingdom. While it may have been an important place inBreath of the Wild, it doesn’t have much importance in the latest title. Nevertheless, if you want to relax in some hot waters or need to mine some Amber, Gut Check Rock is worth visiting.
