Material number 243 in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the elusive Sus Pupkin. This unique pumpkin variant is not automatically added to your Hyrule Compendium; instead, you must capture its image yourself using the Purah Pad’s camera function. Obtaining this entry requires completing a specific series of quests in Hateno Village, ultimately culminating in a final quest given by the village mayor.
The Journey to the Sus Pupkin
The path to photographing the Sus Pupkin isn’t a straightforward one. It involves diving deep into the political intrigue and community challenges of Hateno Village. You’ll need to resolve the various issues plaguing the town before the final quest leading to the prized pumpkin becomes available.
Hateno Village Quests: A Prerequisite
Before even thinking about snapping a photo of the Sus Pupkin, you must first address several key quests in Hateno Village. This typically involves helping the local school and dealing with other problems facing the village. This questline allows you to gain the trust of the villagers and unlock subsequent quests.
The Mayor’s Request: Unveiling the Sus Pupkin
After successfully navigating the initial Hateno quests, the village mayor will present you with a final request. This quest will lead you directly to the Sus Pupkin, providing the perfect opportunity to add it to your Hyrule Compendium. The specifics of this quest can vary slightly depending on your prior interactions within the village, but it typically involves investigating unusual activity or addressing a specific concern related to agriculture or the village’s overall well-being.
Snapping the Shot: Completing the Compendium Entry
Once you’ve located the Sus Pupkin, use your Purah Pad to take a clear photograph. Ensure the pumpkin is well-lit and in focus to guarantee the entry is properly recorded in your Hyrule Compendium. This action is the final step in unlocking material #243 and contributing to the overall completion of your compendium.
