Tears of the Kingdom– how to get the Forest Dweller’s Sword
TheForest Dweller’s Swordis a not-terribly-impressive blade that lets you attach bursting materials and use them repeatedly. You need to find it as part of theWalton’s Treasure Huntside quest, which you receive fromWaltonafter you clear theTrail of the Master Swordmain quest.
Once you help theGreat Deku Treeas part of that main quest,Korok Villagecomes to life a bit. Make your way to the very top of the tree, where you findWalton. He proposes a treasure hunt wherein you must find theForest Dweller’s SwordandForest Dweller’s Spear.
To get the Forest Dweller’s Sword, simply climb up the bark behind Walton.Walk along the top and you will find the sword protruding. That’s the easiest part of the treasure hunt.
To complete the quest, you need to also find theForest Dweller’s Spear. It is also located nearby. Check the bark ledge that forms a ring around the grassy area where you meet Walton. The spear rests along the edge, partly hidden by a large limb.
When you hand over the sword and shield, Walton asks you to find one more piece of equipment: theForest Dweller’s Shield. Drop back down to the lower portion of the Great Deku Tree. Head for the interior area with the shops.
Before you pass through the archway, look above it. You can use theUltrahandability to grab the shield and bring it to your level. Then add it to your inventory. Talk to Walton again to complete the side quest. He rewards you with theForest Dweller’s Bow.
