How to farm Keese Eyeballs in Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)

Link’s new Fuse ability allows him to make weird and wacky weapon combinations with interesting effects. In addition to fusing items onto shields and swords, it is also possible to stick items onto arrows.

One of the best fusions involves eyeballs, which have homing abilities. Read on to learn how to farm Keese eyeballs in Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom Keese Eyeball Farming guide

Keese look like one-eyed bats, and they come in different forms. In addition to the regular Keese, there are also Fire Keese, Ice Keese, and Electric Keese. When💖 they are defeated, they will sometimes drop eyeballs or wings, which are crucial for upgrades.

While you can encounter Keese randomly, a few places are known to have a significant amount. Thus, let’s dig into some Zelda TOTK monster farming tips.

Best Keese farming locations in TOTK

Keese can usually be found in flocks at nighttime. They are slow fliers, which makes it easy to aim an arrow at them or even to wait until they are in arm’s reach before swiping them with a sword. They generally appear near or inside caves, where they’ll often burst out at the entrance.

Based on my experience (and other players), any new caves you discover tend to spawn more flocks. For Ice Keese, Link will have to visit cold spots such as the Hebra Mountains, while the rare Electric Keese can be found at night in the Gerudo Desert. These particular creatures don’t really have a specific place, so just try to look around caves there. To help you discover these flying monsters, here’s an overview of the best TOTK locations to farm Keese Eyeballs and Wings:

• Popla Foothill Excavation Site: 0611, -2227, 0051
• Deplian Badlands Cave: 0304, 3578, 0090
• Death Mountain (Fire Keese): 2477, 2603, -0985
• Whistling Hill Cave: -0057, -1055, 0019

Popla Foothills Excavation Site location

Teleport to the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower and jump off the cliff to reach an excavation site. A Keese flock tends to spawn out of the cave nearby. I found the monsters flying near the cliffside, too, so make s♈ure to explore this area to the fullest.

Deplian Badlands Cave

Travel to the Thyphio Ruins Skyview Tower or the Minetak Shrine to uncover the Deplian Badlands Cave. Unlike the Popla Excavation Site, it’ll be pretty well hidden, as it is tucked away in some rocky terrain.

There will likely be an enemy camp across from it, so look out for this structu🐓re. Then, search for the cave near the cliffs, showcasing a skull at its entrance.

Death Mountain

For Fire Keese, visit Death Mountain. You’ll find the chasm near the coordinates 2474, 2590, -0963. The flying monsters can be found inside it, typically around 2477, 2603, -0985 coordinates.

Whistling Hill Cave

Another cave can be found at Whis✅tling Hill. Go to the Teniten Shrine to travel there ins﷽tantly. Turn right to locate the entrance to Whistling Hill Cave.

Use an arrow withꦫ a Bomb Flower to break the rock obstacl♔e in front of it. Then, enter it to find some Keese.

How to defeat Keese quickly in Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

Fortunately, Keese are pretty weak, so a single strike can take ’em down. To kill a whole flock, use Bomb Flower arrows. Fuse the bombs to your arrows and unleash them to eradicate an entire group.

There are lot🌳s of other ways you can eliminate them, including attaching a laser beam to a Construct head or shooting it right in the eye. Get creative to see if you can uncover alternative methods to get rid of them.

What to do with Keese Eyeballs in Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

Keese Eyeballs can be used to make elixirs, though it’s wiser to use them as weapons. When fused to an arrow, the eyeball will direct itself toward enemies, allowing the arrow to make 90-degree turns if necessary. This is particularly useful in defeating enemies, such as the Stone Talus, that have to be hit in a spec𝓀ific spot. It is also helpful for🐈 hitting enemies that move around fast and erratically.

Eyeballs aren’t the only loot that Keese drops. Their wings can also be fused to arrows to make them f💙ly further, giving Link more reasons to hunt down the winged monsters.

In addition to their handy weapon tactics, you can use Keese to get armor upgrades. This may send you on another quest to find Aerocudas, the second common winged creature of Tears of the Kingdom. These particular monsters have a few spots𒆙 of their own, which will go over below.

Best places to farm Aerocudas in Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

Like Keese, you’ll find Aerocudas soaring around the sky. I found most of mine during the daytime, but you may still spot them at night. If you aren’t sure what they look like, they are almost similar to the appearance of a dragon but slightly smaller.

You can defeat them using the same arrow and Bomb Flower method, instantly bringing them down. Be aware that they’ll be more hostile than the Keese, often attacking you on-site. They can also carry various things, from enemies to bombs, making them even more dangerous. If you want to search for them, here are the best places you can find Aerocudas in TOTK:

• Sahasra Slope: 1389, -1010, 0136
• Crenel Hills: 0688, 0840, 0093
• Applean Forest: 0688, 0840, 0083
• Susuyai Shrine: -0841, -0454, 0017

Sahasra Slope

At Sahas𒅌ra Slope Skyview Tower, start going north toward the Sahasra Slope. Look up and see if you can spot the winged creature in the sky.

Crenel Hills

Fast travel to Ren-iz Shrineꦏ and walk straight forward to Crenel Hills. An Aerocuda will be flꦦying around the cliffside.

Applean Forest

Below the Yamiyo Shrine, you’ll find the Applean Forest. I found some Aerocudas flying around this area, towards the main pathway.

Susuyai Shrine

The Aerocuda at the Susuyai Shrine location is quite possibly the easiest one to spot. Teleport there and simply look around the sky to locate it. If you need more help finding these winged creatures, check out our guide covering where to farm Aerocuda eyeballs.
