The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Find the Fifth Sage quest can be frustrating to solve because Purah isn’t very clear on where the fifth sage is. After going through a part of the main story involving Hyrule Castle, Purah asks Link to gather clues on the whereabouts of the fifth sage instead of giving you the location outright. The pointer for the quest just marks where Purah is, which isn’t helpful at all. And then, once you figure out where to go, the fifth sage isn’t actually there. To cut through the confusion, here’s the solution to the Find the Fifth Sage main story quest.
Where is the fifth sage in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the fifth sage is actually found in the Construct Factory in The Depths after getting through the Thunderhead Isles.
That said, many players are likely looking for where to go after Purah gives you the Find the Fifth Sage quest, because she’s not clear on how to start the questline in the place. For this, you need to head to Kakariko Village, located in the northwestern Necluda territory at coordinates 1808, -1025, 0112.
If you have a fast travel point there, you can zip over there. After you land, speak to Paya and Tauro near the northern gate of the town to start the companion main quest called Secret of the Ring Ruins. They’ll ask Link to explore the Ring Ruins where you can find a “Ring Ruins stone slab” that you capture a picture of with the camera.
However, that’s just where the tablet is. The fifth sage, known as the Sage of Spirit, is found at the end of the questline. After completing the part of the quest set in Kakariko Village you’ll need to find a chamber that reveals the Thunderhead Isles in the sky. You’ll then be sent to the Depths where you need to find four robot parts to set the fifth sage free.
By the way, you’ll need to complete this quest in order for Impa to return to Kakariko Village after finishing the Dragon’s Tears geoglyphs quest, just in case you’re wondering where she goes off to.
