How to get and use Monster Guts in Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Who doesn't love a good bit of intestines in their drink?

There are tons of consumables hidden in every corner of Hyrule when youā€™re playing Echoes of Wisdom. While some are more useful than others, itā€™s never a bad idea to pick up the items dropped from monsters, in treasure chests, or found in grass.

Monster guts are one of the many items Princess Zelda can find during her adventure, but if you donā€™t know what to do with them, they might seem useless. Luckily, weā€™re here to show you just what to do with them.

Where to find Monster Guts in Echoes of Wisdom

Monster Guts can be dropped from enemies you defeat, just like Monster Fangs. However, they are a rare drop, so you are not going to get one from every monster you defeat. If youā€™re looking to farm for Monster Guts, I recommend any of the spots that contain a horde of Moblins guarding a treasure chest. This is where Iā€™ve found most of mine.

One of the stages of the Slumber Dojo, A Shock in the Dark, will also reward you with eight Monster Guts for completing the stage. This is a good place to earn some Monster Guts quickly if youā€™re in need.

You can also occasionally pick them up as a reward for side quests or treasure chests. However, these are few and far between. Youā€™ll find far more out in the wild. 

If youā€™re having trouble getting a hold of them, try equipping the Survey Scope or Survey Binoculars. These will cause Smoothie ingredients to appear more often, including Monster Guts and Monster Fangs. The Survey Binoculars, in particular, work the best.Ā

Just like smoothie ingredients, Monster Guts can be taken to a Business Scrub to make potions. Potions are different than smoothies since they use monster parts as ingredients, but they can have similar effects.Ā

Making a potion is the same as making a smoothie. Just select your two ingredients and confirm for the Business Scrub to whip it up for you. It will automatically come out as a potion instead, so donā€™t worry about doing anything differently.
