Here's our guide to help you complete Heroines' Secret for Rotana in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

How to complete Heroines' Secret in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

To start the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Heroines' Secret side quest, you'll want to clear the initial steps in Gerudo Town. Since Link is a "voe" (a dude), you'll need to find the entrance to the Gerudo base. There, you'll meet up with Riju, the Chieftain of the Gerudo. As for Rotana, you'll find her reading inscriptions on one of the pillars in the main area. She explains her eagerness to uncover the truth, which begins the side quest proper.

The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Heroines' Secret side quest involves finding the other Monuments to the Seven Heroines. Then, you have to take a picture of each of them, so make sure you've already acquired the Purah Pad Camera.

Monument #1

The left-hand side of the section past where Rotana is located. You'll need to destroy the rocks.

Monument #2

While facing Rotana and the tablet, go to your left. You should see a classroom with Gerudo kids. You need to wait until evening (around 7 p.m. in-game), which will cause the kids to leave. Then, take a photo of the monument.

Monument #3

From the classroom, continue along the corridor past the Sand Seals. There's a dimly-lit corridor here with a destroyed pillar. Use Ultrahand to lift, rotate, and attach it.

Monument #4

For this pillar, make your way to the right-hand side of the hub area. In the small room near the sleeping quarters, you can talk to NPCs who are discussing an odd sound coming from the wall with shelves. You'll notice a small nook here, so break the vases and crouch through the gap.

From down below, you should be able to Ascend to the upper room. This is the jail cell where another dude has been locked up. The fourth monument is also here.

After taking photos of all four, return to Rotana. This will complete the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Heroines' Secret side quest. Rotana will give you the orb that she possesses. However, you're not done yet.

Rotana explains that there must be another warrior that she hasn't heard about before. If you bring the orb to the altar chamber with statues, you'll be able to place it on the hand of the statue matching its symbol. This will lead to The Mysterious Eighth quest.
