Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Twins Manuscript stone puzzle solution
A devious puzzle hidden deep within the Dueling Peaks
Everyone loves a good treasure hunt and a brain-teasing riddle, but nothing is more frustrating than when you just can’t come up with the solution. In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Twins Manuscript quest promises a piece of history, if only you can find your way to the secret location.
Your only clues are contained in a cryptic riddle that reads:
“In West Necluda stand twins poised to duel. Each contains a cavern that faces the other. Show the little twin’s sign to the big twin to open the door to my treasure.”
So you can add this part of Misko’s Treasure to your collection, here’s where to look!
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Twins Manuscript location
The Twins Manuscript refers to the Dueling Peaks in West Necluda. The closest fast travel point is Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower.
More specifically, the riddle is referring to Dueling Peaks North Cave and Dueling Peaks South Cave. The little twin is the north side, so head to the Dueling Peaks North Cave first.
Inside, there are a couple of Horriblins to defeat, but at the back of the cave is an interesting formation on the ceiling. Remember the positions of the filled in dots, either with the in-game camera or a screenshot.
Now make your way over to the other side of the canyon and Dueling Peaks South Cave. Inside is a Like-Like to defeat and a Bubbulfrog behind the cracked rocks on the right. But to continue the Twins Manuscript quest, climb up the ledge above where the Like-Like was.

At the top of the ledge you will see an arrangement of stones on the floor that looks a lot like the drawing you saw in the north cave. To solve the puzzle, you need to place the stones in the same places as they were in the drawing. The only issue is that you don’t know the orientation of the filled-in dots.
From the top of the triangle, to complete the puzzle, place a rock on the first square of the second row, on the second square of the third row, and on the second and fourth squares of the fourth row.
This sends a door at the back of the cave sliding open, revealing a chest containing your precious loot!
