With the final reward for collecting every Gratitude Crystal in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD being the Tycoon Wallet, putting the effort in pays off – literally. Here’s how to find them all.

With the Bug Net, Medals, and more requiring a large number of Rupees to purchase, not being able to carry enough money is a frustration veteran The Legend of Zelda fans know all too well.

Link’s Wallet can be upgraded, though. For the biggest one – the Tycoon Wallet with a whopping 9,000 Rupee capacity – you’ll need to collect every Gratitude Crystal in Skyward Sword HD for Batreaux. It’s no simple task as there are 80 of them in the game.

All Gratitude Crystal locations in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

To find Batreaux and start the Gratitude Crystal hunt, you first need to complete the Missing Kukiel side quest. Finish the mission and you’ll then be able to collect the Crystals.

While 80 seems like a huge number, many of the collectibles are given to you in a lump sum as side quest rewards. 15 of the Gratitude Crystals are found individually though, meaning you’ve got to go on a little scavenger hunt.

You can start finding them at any point but if you speak to Batreaux after completing the Sandship level, Fi will give you a new dowsing option to locate the individual ones.

#1-5: Complete Missing Kukiel side quest – 5 Gratitude Crystals

After placing the Ruby Tablet in the Statue of the Goddess in Skyloft, you’ll find a panicking Wryna outside searching for her daughter, Kukiel. You can speak to other residents for clues to her whereabouts, but the quickest way is just to head straight to the graveyard in the southeast part of town.

Interact with the tombstone closest to the tree and the storage shed door will click open. Go through it and follow the path until you reach a hidden house with Batreaux the demon inside. Turns out, the girl was visiting him. She returns home and the Gratitude Crystals side quest becomes active. For the first five, sleep until morning and then return to a now-happy Wryna.

#6: East Skyloft

On the east side of Skyloft, you’ll see some houses with a pumpkin patch nearby. Next to this is a tree. Go behind it and you’ll find the Crystal.

#7: Through Waterfall Cave

Head through Waterfall Cave where you searched for your Red Loftwing at the start of the game. Once you’re out the other side, you’ll spot the Crystal in the middle of three health hearts.

#8: In a small alcove

From the last collectible, head down the slope to the small alcove where Groose was holding your Red Loftwing captive. The Crystal will be there.
