How To Find Kilton BOTW Complete Location And Monster Shop Guide

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Kilton is a quirky merchant who runs a secret business known as the Fang and Bone. Players looking to unlock unique gear, monster masks, and special mounts must first track down this eccentric vendor in the wilderness of Hyrule. Understanding where Kilton appears and how his shop functions will help you secure some of the most valuable items in the game.

First Encountering Kilton at Skull Lake

To begin shopping at the Fang and Bone, you must first trigger your initial meeting with Kilton in the Akkala region. Head to Skull Lake in northeastern Hyrule and make your way to the left eye island. Kilton only appears during the night, so bring materials to set up a campfire if you arrive during daylight hours.

Upon speaking with Kilton for the first time, he will share his desire to open a mobile shop across various settlements. After this brief interaction, he will vanish from Skull Lake and begin spawning near major towns throughout Hyrule. You can fast travel to Zuna Kai Shrine nearby to reach this location easily.

All Fang and Bone Village Spawn Locations

Once unlocked, Kilton sets up his vibrant hot air balloon shop outside key towns between 8:00 PM and 4:00 AM. You can find him outside Kakariko Village on a hill near Lantern Lake, or near the Zelkoa Pond in Hateno Village. He also sets up shop under the bridge leading into Tarrey Town and just outside Gerudo Town.

Additional locations include the outskirts of Rito Village near Lake Totori, the shores of Lurelin Village, and near Zora's Domain. Remember that Kilton will not appear if you stay in the immediate area when night falls, so fast travel from a distance after dark. Resting at nearby inns or campfires is an easy way to advance the clock to nighttime.

How the Mon Currency and Exchange Works

Unlike standard shops in Breath of the Wild, Kilton does not accept standard Rupees for his goods. Instead, players must trade monster parts—such as horns, fangs, guts, and elemental tails—to earn a special currency called Mon. Rarer monster parts collected from high-level foes yield significantly higher amounts of Mon.

Managing your inventory of enemy drops allows you to build up a massive pool of Mon quickly. Trading excess monster parts is a great way to put unused materials to excellent use. Be sure to farm powerful enemies like Lynels and Hinoxes to maximize your currency earnings.

Exclusive Items Available at the Monster Shop

Kilton offers an array of specialized items that alter gameplay mechanics and provide fun cosmetic choices. You can purchase monster disguise masks, such as the Bokoblin and Lynel masks, which allow you to blend in with specific enemy groups. He also sells Monster Extract, useful weapons like the Spring-Loaded Hammer, and the Monster Bridle for horses.

As you progress through the main story and defeat Divine Beasts, Kilton expands his stock with even rarer goods. Defeating Calamity Ganon also unlocks Monster Medals of Honor, rewarding players for hunting boss monsters across Hyrule. Tracking down Kilton regularly ensures you never miss out on his expanding stock.
