The next morning Jordan got up, grabbed his gear. It seemed a bit later than the last few times Jordan had gotten up, and as he sheathed his sword behind his back, he noticed that both Olivia and Leenie weren't in their beds. He continued outside and saw them eating breakfast next to the fire. They greeted him as he walked over and he started to make his own food. They reminded each other what they were going to do that day, and then when Jordan had only just started eating, Olivia stood up and headed for the Tech Lab. She came back a minute later flustered because she had forgotten the Sheikah slate on her bedside table.

As she went back up the hill, Leenie finished her food and went to wake up Amber. Apparently, the villagers had been so pleased with their fishing that they had asked them to do it again the next day. They had accepted, and Leenie wanted to get the job done as soon as possible. Jordan was alone when he finished his food, but he was still hungry. He grabbed an apple from his inventory as he stood up and walked to the site of his new house. Bolson and Karson were already working, but it seemed like they had just started. Jordan stopped them to give them their daily pay...and then some.

"A thousand and a half rupees?! Already?!" Bolson screamed wildly as Jordan handed him the handfuls of money.

"Yep. Like I said yesterday, I like getting stuff done. Now I only have 13 thousand rupees left. Thank you for building this house for me." he looked up at the house, which already had the framework complete, and now needed exterior and interior design as well as the furniture.

"You sure are welcome. You are easily my best-paying customer. You're a good kid. Where're you going today?"

"I'm heading out to Cape Cales today. I was able to defeat four hinoxes yesterday, hence how much money I have for you today. Cape Cales should have something on it that I can obtain. The amount of money you get each day depends on how good my hunt is."

"Huh. Well in that case, good hunting! I hope you find some good stuff." Bolson granted him.

"Thank you. I will be on my way."

So he began the long hike past Ebon Mountain, and up to the Cape. He had always loved hiking, so it wasn't a problem for him at all to travel through some of the rough and rocky terrain. He finished the apple he had been eating partway through his hike, and when he made it past Mount Dunsel which was the small mountain that sat on the mainland from where the cape stretched out into the sea, he was quite grateful that his hands weren't sticky from the juice.

You see, at the high cape, there was a very large monster camp that seemed to stand as a challenge to anyone that wanted to get to the shrine at the very end of the rock formation. There were ten total monsters in this camp. All bokoblins. Four sentry scouts, and six sitting inside the camp, which was a giant rock that the bokoblins had carved into a skull shape to intimidate outsiders. Jordan figured that if he could take out this bokoblin camp and sit outside the shrine all day, Link would appear sooner or later. Destroying the monster base would also make it easier for Link to access the shrine.

Jordan traveled west along the wide flat plain of the long cape and got up near the camp, but instead of attacking straight on, he decided to use stealth. In order to not be seen by the sentry bokos, he had to climb onto the side of the Cape. This way he could move past the camp towards the shrine, and pop back up when he had gotten around the camp.

Since the plains around it were quite bare, Jordan relied on slow, cautious movements at the distance to ensure that the bokoblins didn't catch sight of him.Once he had done so, he went behind the camp and climbed to the roof of it. He shot down all of the sentries from his higher position. Then he jumped down and attacked the remaining bokoblins inside.
