“Ruffian-infested Village” is one of many side adventures you can find in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
As you interact with NPCs around Hyrule, they’ll tell you about how worried they are about the pirates occupying Lurelin Village, and if it’ll ever return to normal. Head over to the Sifumim Shrine on the cliff overlooking Lurelin Village to meet Bolson and Rozel. They’ll tell you that they’re working on restoring the village, but every single pirate must be taken care of before they can start.
‘Ruffian-infested Village’ starting location
Travel to the Sifumim Shrine just outside of Lurelin Village, and talk to Bolson and Rozel to start the “Ruffian-infested Village” side adventure. The shrine’s exact coordinates are (2826, -3271, 0078), which is in the southeastern section of the Faron region.
How to defeat all the pirates in Lurelin Village
The one and only goal of this quest is to eliminate every pirate that is occupying the Lurelin Village. There are a total of 23 pirates which include Blue and Black Bokoblins, Black Moblins, Black Lizalfos, and a Black Boss Bokoblin. Before heading in to get rid of the pirate infestation, here are a few tips:
Where is the last pirate in Lurelin Village?
You may have defeated a majority of the pirates occupying Lurelin Village, and you’re having a hard time finding the last pirate hiding away. One sneaky pirate is hiding inside of the Lurelin Village Well, which can be found on the north side of the village beside a stack of wooden boxes. Drop into the well to find one lone Bokoblin, and take them down to defeat all of the pirates.
‘Ruffian-infested Village’ rewards
You won’t receive any rewards after completing the side adventure yet, as everyone only just regained access to their homes. However, you will unlock the follow-up quest, “Lurelin Village Restoration Project,” where you’ll receive a ton of goodies that are worthwhile.
