"The Duchess Who Disappeared" is a Side Quest in Tears of the Kingdom.[1]

Overview

At Selmie's Spot, Link can find Russ wondering where Selmie has gone.[2] When Link approaches him, he initially thinks he is Selmie, who he states was a famous Shield Surfer in the past.[3] He explains that he took her and his friend Fin on as students, but she left to make a new course after the Blizzard disappeared and never came back.[4] Fin left Selmie's Spot to look for her at the Biron Snowshelf, while Russ is waiting at the cabin in case she returns.[5] Since Fin has also failed to come back, Russ has been searching for his Smoke Signals to try and meet with him.[6] After their conversation, "The Duchess Who Disappeared" will begin.[note 1]

Objectives

Stage Description
1 Former pro shield surfer Selmie has gone missing after leaving her lodge to create a new shield-surfing course. Her student Russ says his budy Fin is searching for Selmie on the Biron Snowshelf to the west.

Meet up with Fin there. You can find him by looking for his smoke signals.
2 Former pro shield surfer Selmie has gone missing after leaving her lodge to create a new shield-surfing course. Her student Fin is looking for her on the Biron Snowshelf and said that her shield-surfing tracks come to an end nearby.

Where could Selmie be?
3 While trying to develop a new course for shield surfing, Selmie went into a cave and found that she couldn't get back out through the entrance. She's trapped in the cave.

Find some way to get Selmie out.
4 You dug through the rocks deep inside the cave and created a way for Selmie to get out. She was able to return to her students and wants to thank you at her lodge. You should be able to find it northwest of Hebra Peak.

Look for the bonfires she keeps burning in front of the lodge.
Complete You went to Selmie's lodge in the vicinity of Hebra Peak, where Selmie offered a word of thanks and gave you a reward. She also accepted you as her third student and said to visit anytime you want to shield surf.
