Quest Series: The Mayoral Election
The story about Cece and Reede is the heart of Hateno Village. It starts in the Zephyr boutique and consists of several episodes that ultimately lead to the mayoral election.
Cece or Reede?
Enter the Zephyr Boutique and talk to Cece. She gives you eight Hyrule Mushrooms. You should distribute these mushrooms to villagers who are not yet wearing Cece fashion. Children, travelers, Shiekah guests and family members of the candidates do not count.
Look out for these eight people:
- Dantz for Hateno Pasture
- Koyin on the jetty by the pond of the
- Medda on the fields
- Tamana in the village area and near the fields
- Tokk on its way towards Hateno Ancient Tech Lab or at the cooking area
- Uma at the school field or in the village
- Worten at the inn
- Leop at the bulletin board, inn or on his village tour
farm
If you are missing a person, wait until day or night and walk the paths between the inn, school, farm and institute. The NPCs have daily routines and are not permanently in one place.
Cece’s secret
Sophie cares about Cece. Wait until around 10pm and watch Cece leave the boutique. Follow her at a distance to the silo. You don’t have to fight; the task is just to find out what Cece does at night without being noticed. Then you report it to Sophie.
Reede’s Secret
Clavia wants to know what Reede is doing in his locked hut. The door is closed, so the path leads in from below. Find a Hateno Village fountain nearby, go into the fountain network and use the Ascend under the hut. Read Reede’s diary and report back to Clavia.
A letter for Koyin
Koyin stands at the pond at Hateno Pasture. The message in a bottle is in the water and can be reached with the Ultrahand if you build a small bridge or platform out of wood. Place the bottle in front of Koyin and speak to her. The letter contains the recipe for Hateno Village cheese. Afterwards you can exchange Fresh Milk for Hateno Village cheese at Koyin.
A new village treat!
Once you have Hateno Village cheese, take it to Reede. In this way he can revive the old village specialty. After completion, Hateno Village cheese will be available not only at the farm, but also at the Mistral grocery store.
The mayoral election
If Cece or Reede?, Cece’s Secret, Reede’s Secret and A new village treat! are done, i.e. during the day and in dry weather with Sophie in front of the boutique. The election ends peacefully: Reede remains mayor, Cece works with him and Hateno Village combines tradition and fashion.
As a reward you will receive the Cece Deluxe from Cece. The boutique will also be reopened and will later offer you the option to repurchase special armor pieces.
A specialty from Hateno Village
After the election, Reede develops the sun pumpkin with Nack. However, the field is attacked by Stal monsters at night. Talk to Reede, start the Night Watch and keep the monsters away from the field until morning. As a reward you will receive five sun pumpkins. Afterwards you can buy sun squash at the grocery store. They are particularly interesting when cooking because they can heal Gloom damage.
Hateno Village school, field and own harvest
Object lesson
Symin teaches the children Hateno Village, but they don’t really believe his story of the devastation. Travel to Kakariko Village and take the appropriate historical picture in Paya’s house. Return to Symin and show him the photo.
Object Lesson 2
The second lesson is about food and Monster Extract. You need:
- 1x Hylian Rice
- 1x Goron spice
- 1x Monster Extract
Cook monster curry with it and bring it to Symin. This makes the school field interesting for you, because then you can start at Uma Umes Field Crops.
Umes crops
After Object Lesson 2, talk to Uma at the field near the school. You can give her a crop and let her plant it. After some real playing time, the harvest is ready; Sleeping or waiting by the fire does not speed up the process. Particularly useful are Hylian Rice, Hyrule Tomatoes, Wild Berries, Frost Melons, Armor Pumpkins, Sprint Carrots and Tabantha Wheat.
Practical use: The field is an easy source for ingredients that you would otherwise have to constantly buy or collect. For long-term cooking, Hateno Village is one of the best supply locations in the game.
Hateno Ancient Tech Lab and Purah Pad upgrades
The Hateno Ancient Tech Lab only becomes really important in Tears of the Kingdom when Robbie works there again. First follow the tasks in Lookout Landing around Josha and Robbie until Robbie progresses with his balloon and the Autobuild. He then sends you to the institute on the hill above Hateno Village.
Research Institute in Hateno Village
Robbie equips your Purah Pad with the Shiekah-Sensor +. The Sensor + responds to shrines. Go in front of the laboratory, follow the signal down the slope and open the cave in Retsam Forest. There you will find the Mayahisik Shrine. After activation you will return to Robbie.
A Sensor + of superlatives
According to the research institute, Robbie can improve the sensor. Photograph five different types of monsters and show him the entries. After that, the sensor + can search not only shrines, but also objects from your Hyrule Compendium.
The Path of the Hero
With enough shrines visited, Robbie unlocks the Hero’s Path. This function shows you on the map where you have been in the last few hours of play. For 100 percent players, this is worth its weight in gold because you can immediately see which areas you have barely explored.
The Tinkerer Travel Medallion
Robbie sends you to Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. There you have to get the prototype of the teleport medallion. Prepare for Yiga opponents. After returning, Robbie installs the function. If you have activated more Skyview Towers, more medallions can be unlocked later. This allows you to set up to three of your own fast travel points.
Accept
Your Hyrule Compendium
After sensor + you can buy photos for the Hyrule Compendium from Robbie. This is expensive, but convenient if you end up only missing individual enemies, animals, weapons or materials. For collectors, the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab is one of the most important stations in the entire game.
