How to Complete The Road to Respect Quest
Fugo needs to defeat the Igneo Talus at Darunia Lake to win his master Rohan’s respect. But he’s not sure about his ability to reach the place to begin with, so he’s looking for someone to fight the Igneo Talus in his stead.
Find and Defeat Igneo Talus
Head northwest of Goron City and make your way to the northern shore of Darunia Lake.
There you’ll encounter the towering Igneo Talus, a fiery rock monster waiting to challenge you.
Begin the battle by cooling its molten body with an ice arrow, then climb up and strike the ore deposit on its head to deal heavy damage. Stay alert—the Talus hits hard, and the scorching environment makes this a dangerous fight.
Report Back to Fugo
Once the Igneo Talus has been defeated, return to Fugo in Goron City to share the news. Proud that you completed the trial in his place, he’ll reward you with 100 rupees for your efforts, marking the end of the quest.
