The Gerudo region encompasses all of Gerudo Desert and its surrounding mountains. Like the rest of Hyrule, it is chock full of extra side ques🐼ts that you can stumble upon. If you like climbing mountains, you might just find yourself meeting with an overly-confident hiker that wants to challenge you to a contest.

Where To Start Cold-Endurance Contest!

Link talks to a traveler near his tent in the desert.

As you travel around the Gerudo Desert and surrounding canyons, you’ll see Mount Granajh. At the top of this mountain is Rahdo, the man who withstands! Or at least, that is what he calls himself. Rahdo will challenge you to a contest to endure the varying elements of the desert.

Rahdo can be found at the following coordinates: -1379, -3363, 0469.

Rahdo will start by challenging you to withstand the freezing cold of desert nights. For the Cold-Endurance Contest, you will need to wager 50 rupees, and Rahdo will do the same.

Both you and Rahdo will have to stand on the stone pillars next to him from evening until dawn. You cannot leave the pillar or set foot on the ground, and you cannot get to low health or you lose the contest.

Oh, and you both will have to strip down to your knickers. So you cannot equip warm clothes to make this an easy task. Otherwise, you can use any other methods to stay warm.

How To Pass The Cold-Endurance Contest

Link stands on a stone pillar as night falls.

The Cold-Endurance Contest lasts from evening until dawn in-game time, and it will take the real-world equivalent to complete, which is just under ten minutes. So once you’re ready, go take a batꦑhroom break, make a cup of coffee, or just admire Link's idle animations.

Here are a couple of easy ways to win this contest:

  • If you have a Ruby in your inventory, Fuse it to a shield. This is the most straightforward way to win the contest, as it will keep Link’s body temperature warm all through the night.
  • Another way to win is by eating cold-resistance meals. If you have a Zonai , you can make these meals on the fly.

Through the night, you'll see Rahdo get weaker and weaker. Eventually, he will collapse, and you will win the contest. Since you both bet 50 rupees, your reward will be a Silver Rupee, which is worth 100 rupees in total.
