In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll meet a slew of different characters. Many of them offer you side stories. You’ll only experience them if you talk to a lot of NPCs. Here is our guide explaining where to find the Child Leviathan Fossil in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom – where to find the Child Leviathan Fossil

Your effort to find the Child Leviathan Fossil is the final installment in a three-part series of side quests you initiate by talking to an NPC named Loone, not far south from East Akalla Stable. In each side quest, you assemble a broken fossil so it looks the way Loone wants.

First, you find her near the stable and she introduces the Eldin’s Colossal Fossil side quest. When you solve that quest, she offers the Hebra’s Colossal Fossil side quest. Solve that side quest and she finally provides the Gerudo’s Colossal Fossil quest.

To find the Child Leviathan Fossil and solve the Gerudo’s Colossal Fossil side quest, assemble the small fossil in the Gerudo Great Skeleton cave. The cave is located near the far southwestern portion of the desert. You might get there a few ways. I chose to fast travel to Miryotanog Shrine and journey south. This meant passing through a sandstorm. The whirling sand disables your map and compass. However, there is at least one column of air along the way. You can ride it to high elevation and get your bearings again.

When you finally arrive near your destination, look for a campfire on a sand dune. The cave entrance is just downhill from that campsite. See the precise location in the above map screenshot.

Inside the cave, meet with Loone. She wants you to assemble the Child Leviathan Fossil. There are three pieces.

The Skull is right near Loone. You don’t even have to work to find it.

The Tail is near the back portion of the cave. It’s not far from a small pool of water with circling Fairies. Grab a Fan from a nearby dune and carry it over so it is near a series of piles with the half-buried tail. Activate the fan and lift it. Point the fan toward the tail to blow away the sand and free the bones.

To find the Ribcage, stand beneath the skeleton. You need to be near a low point, close to the back of the cave. Use the Arise ability to reach the top side of the large Leviathan skeleton. Ascend along its spine and watch the ceiling.

You will see bone protruding from a ceiling comprised mostly of weak rock. Fuse an Arrow with a Bomb Flower. There are some of the flowers growing in this very cave. Fire your fused arrow at the ceiling, right near the bone. The explosion breaks the bone free. It falls to the floor, unharmed.

Bring the tail and the ribcage over to the head and use the Ultrahand ability to fuse them together. See the above picture for an idea of about how they might look once assembled.

This is how you find the Child Leviathan Fossil: with some assembly required. Once you get that part of the process correct, talk to Loone for your prize (50 rupees). Doing so completes the side quest.
