What You'll Learn
Speak to Dalia in the northern corner of Gerudo Town at noon
To begin the Mystery Polluter side quest, you must first find Dalia, a young Gerudo girl in the northern corner of Gerudo Town at noon. She can be found in an empty alleyway near The Noble Canteen. Dalia is planning to start a fruit garden in the empty plot but has not yet figured out what she wants to grow. She will inform you that she wants to grow a garden, but the water is too polluted from garbage, and she cannot use the water trough. You will see melon rinds floating downstream from the nearby waterfall.
Climb up and follow the trail of rinds to the roof north of the throne room in the eastern corner of town. Here, you will find a Gerudo named Calyban, who is the source of the pollution. She is eating hydromelons and carelessly throwing the rinds into the water. Speak to her, and she will agree to stop polluting the water if you give her 10 wildberries. You can find wildberries in the Gerudo Highlands or the Rito Stable.
After obtaining the wildberries, return to Calyban, and she will agree to help clean up the trash. She will also give you a Hydromelon as a reward. Go back to Dalia and speak to her again to complete the side quest. She will share her crop with you, and you will be able to return later to find that three Wildberry plants have grown in her garden.
