Ceces, complete, Kingdom, Secret, tears, Zelda

Cece’s Secret is a side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom This is part of the Mayoral Election side quests in Hateno Village. As she is potentially the next mayor of Hateno, Cece’s sister worries that Cece’s disappearance every night will cause trouble. So, his sister asks Link to follow her.

It’s a pretty relaxed Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom quest, there are no monsters to fight, no mountains to climb, the only thing you need is to be stealthy. That can be a challenge on its own, but if you use your crosshairs and know where Cece is heading, you really don’t need to follow her so closely.

Without further ado, we’ll show you how to complete Cece’s secret in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

How to start Cece’s secret quest in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

To unlock the Cece’s Secret side quest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you must first have started and completed the Team Cece or Team Reede quest. Once you’ve done that, you then need to go see Cece’s sister, Sophia, outside Cece’s shop during the day. If you visit her at night and she’s inside the store, she won’t talk to you.

The coordinates for Cece’s Shop are (3358, -2135, 0120) and we’ve marked its exact location on the map below.

Sophie will tell you that Cece disappears at night and she wants you to tail her to see where she goes. Now we’ve put on our Yiga Armor set for this as it boosts your stealth, but you can swallow an elixir or just try to follow Cece without any of that.

How to follow Cece in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Cece will leave her shop at night, dead at 10 p.m. There are probably many ways to follow her without being seen, but this is how we did it.

Around 9 p.m., stand across the road from the Carrot Patch near Cece’s shop and use your crosshairs to look at the door to Cece’s shop.

Eventually, at 10 p.m., she will leave and slowly begin to cross the road.

When she’s on the opposite side of the road to her store, slowly walk towards the Carrot Patch, then keep using your crosshairs to watch where she’s going. At some point, she will stop and look around. Don’t move at this point. She will eventually start walking again and she will find herself in the big silo which is right in front of her shop.

Do not enter through the front door to follow her! Instead, head under the wooden balcony which is quite high on the side of the silo closest to the general store at (3380, -2163, 0131).

Use Ascend to pop up through the wooden platform, then crouch down and head through the small opening here. Once Link is inside, a small cutscene will appear. Follow what’s going on here, then report to Sophia, she’s usually always outside the shop.

After telling her what happened, Sophie will reward you with 10 Ironshrooms.
