The “Iceless Ice House” is an engaging side quest you will encounter in Tears of the Kingdom, located west of Gerudo Town among the ruins. The quest involves aiding a Gerudo in her ice house, as she faces a crisis of her ice supply no longer coming from the mountains. Here’s a detailed guide to completing this task.
- Obtaining the Quest: Venture to the ruins located to the west of Gerudo Town. Here, you’ll find a Gerudo in a building who’ll explain her predicament about the halted ice flow from the mountains. Accept her plea for help to officially start the “Iceless Ice House” side quest.
- Creating Ice: To aid the Gerudo, you’ll need to craft a block of ice. This can be done by using a weapon combined with a freezing item, like a Naydra Spike or a Sapphire. Equipping the weapon with the freezing item creates a freezing effect. Strike a body of water with this weapon to materialize a block of ice. Alternatively, you can combine an arrow with any freezing item, such as an Ice Fruit, and shoot it into water to create the ice.
- Presenting the Ice to the Gerudo: Once you have your ice block, present it to the Gerudo. She’ll then request a smaller piece of ice that can fit within an alcove in her house.
- Sizing the Ice Block: Inside the house, you’ll find a torch positioned next to a fire upstairs. Ignite the torch and use the flame to gradually melt the block of ice. Carefully monitor the size of the ice block as you do this; you don’t want it to melt completely. Stop once the ice block can fit comfortably within the designated alcove.
- Completing the Quest: After placing the ice block in the alcove, speak to the Gerudo quest giver once more. As a token of her appreciation, she will award you with 50 Rupees for your help.
Remember to prepare beforehand by securing an appropriate freezing item and a weapon or an arrow. Using these tips, you should be able to successfully complete the “Iceless Ice House” quest and earn your reward.
