Some people clear this quest without ANY issues, and some don’t seem to get it to work at all, and the game frankly does a lousy job explaining the exact requirements - because there is more to it than “just” shooting four targets.

Some common problems and their solutions:

1. Don’t start the minigame

Depending on which other quests you have cleared and NPC’s you spoke to, Teba can be found at the Flight Range again after the Vah Medoh questline has been completed. He offers a minigame that is identical to the challenge he put Link through at the start of the questline, only that this time, you get cash depending on how many targets you destroy before the timer runs out.

It might seem like a no-brainer to speak to him and start the minigame to make the targets appear, but this literally overrides the quest requirements, so a suddenly appearing shrine won’t mess up your high scores.

Solution: Ignore Teba. Just don’t talk to him and go shoot targets outside of the minigame.

Also, take a quick glance at the targets themselves. If they look like this:

… then you either started the minigame, didn’t start the “Four Targets” quest or missed a step during the Champions’ Ballad, because these targets will NOT work no matter how many you shoot.

If they look like this:

… then the quest can be completed.

2. Shoot four targets … in ONE bullet time

There is no counter on the screen during this quest (which would have made this issue a lot easier to notice) so the player has no real way of knowing whether a shot counted or not. And the game does not tell you that the targets have to be shot without leaving bullet time. Every time you run out of stamina, open the paraglider, put your bow away, run out of arrows, shoot while standing on the ground instead of being airborne or any other reason that ends bullet time, will reset the invisible target counter back to zero.

The nasty part is, that the counter has a little lag. You still have to be in bullet time while the last target disintegrates and the full “breaking apart” animation has played out. If you open your glider the moment the arrow hits the target (or while the arrow is still flying), it will still be too soon and you have to start over.

Solution: Make sure you have enough stamina to stay in bullet time for a while. One Ring is not enough unless you cheat a bit (like placing bombs near the targets), but if you don’t want to upgrade your green stamina, you can also use yellow stamina from “Endura” foodstuff or special beds. And don’t forget that you can replenish stamina mid-flight! As long as you just don’t leave bullet time, it is perfectly fine to open the menu and chug a few stamina potions or mushroom skewers or whatever.

3. You still have to open the Paraglider at least once

This is IMHO the most bullsh*t requirement out of these three. If you jump into the chasm, enter bullet time and shoot four targets, even if it have been the correct ones and you didn’t leave bullet time, might it STILL not work… because you didn’t open the glider. Which you’re not allowed to do while shooting, but NEED to do before you start. I have absolutely no idea which genius at Nintendo thought his was a mandatory requirement to add, but well, there it is.

Solution: Jump into the chasm, open the Paraglider and glide for a moment, then enter bullet time and start shooting targets without leaving bullet time again.

General tips:

  • Endura Carrots grow near all Fairy Fountains and 5x cooked into a dish will give you a full extra ring of yellow stamina. Not to mention that any “Endura” dish also refills all green stamina in one go on top of that.

  • Multishot bows and bomb arrows can make the quest a lot easier. The game doesn’t care for HOW the targets were destroyed, so a bomb blast ripping a target apart will still contribute to the invisible counter.

  • …and the same goes for remote bombs. You can kind of wedge those between certain targets or just chug one at a target before you start shooting (the updraft will keep it floating)

  • Save the game before you try. If you mess up, you can just reload to get all your arrows, bow durability, food/elixirs and a bit of sanity back ;)
