The vast world of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is filled with numerous mysteries, but few are as awe-inspiring as the remains of the Great Leviathans. Tracking down these three massive skeletal structures is central to completing the popular Leviathan Bones side quest given at the Serenne Stable. Finding each location requires navigating through some of the most extreme environments on the map, from freezing mountaintops to scorching deserts.
The Eldin Great Skeleton
The first massive structure can be found nestled along the northern borders of the map within the perilous Eldin region. Players must brave the intense volcanic heat and travel just north of the Death Mountain peaks to spot these ancient remains. The skeleton is situated west of the Gorae Toor Shrine, resting under the shadow of the northern cliffside boundaries.
Explorers heading to this location should prepare for enemy encounters, as a prominent monster camp often utilizes the bones as a base. Defeating these foes rewards players with valuable gear, including a Great Flameblade embedded in the nearby ground. It provides an excellent tactical advantage for those looking to photograph the skull for the side quest.
The Hebra Great Skeleton
Venturing to the northwest corner of Hyrule brings players into the freezing temperatures of the rugged Hebra Mountains. The second leviathan is safely hidden deep within the Hebra North Summit inside a secluded cavern system. Finding the exact entrance requires a keen eye and cold-resistance armor to survive the harsh localized climate.
To access the skeleton, players must find a hidden cave entrance blocked by heavy snowpack and ice formations near the summit. Utilizing a nearby snowball to roll down the slope and break open the stone doors reveals the cavern path. Inside, the spectacular bone structure is illuminated by a glowing shrine tucked directly beneath the leviathan ribs.
The Gerudo Great Skeleton
The final majestic specimen is buried in the southwest reaches of the harsh Gerudo Desert region. To locate these bones, travelers must journey into the furthest corner of the map, well beyond the standard boundaries of Gerudo Town. This location is notoriously difficult to navigate due to the constant sandstorms that completely disrupt your active mini-map visibility.
Braving the endless dunes leads adventurers to the southwest edge of the desert where the giant ribcage emerges from the sand. This ancient graveyard also serves as a sanctuary, housing both a Great Fairy Fountain and the Hawa Koth Shrine under its protective canopy. Taking a clear picture of this third head completes the visual evidence needed by the stable researchers.
Completing the Leviathan Bones Quest
Once players have successfully photographed all three colossal skulls, they must return to the Serenne Stable to present their findings. Speaking with the three eager brothers rewards your exploration efforts with a substantial amount of rupees for your scientific contributions. Examining these prehistoric giants provides a fascinating glimpse into the deep and mysterious prehistory of ancient Hyrule.
