The quest starts in the underground city in the Gerudo Desert. Search the catacombs for Rotana, who you'll find right in the first room behind the round main entrance door, and start a conversation to begin "The Heroines' Secret". Your task now is to find the missing four monuments for Rotana and take a picture of them. All four monuments are located in the underground city.
The first monument is not far away at all. Just run past Rotana, between the first two monuments into the next room and inside to the left. Destroy the rocks on the wall with a bomb arrow or an appropriate weapon. Directly behind them is the first monument.
For the second monument, run from Rotana into the left passage until you reach a turning and there turn left again. In the next room, take the left passage a third time. After a short while you will come to a pile of sand that partially covers the second monument. Remove the sand with a vent or weapon, then insert the broken-out piece back into the monument with Ultra-Hand. Take your picture and move on.
For the third monument, you have to get arrested. Run in front of the prison cell and take off all your clothes. The guard in front of the cell will then arrest you and put you in jail. In the cell, you will find the third monument.
You will find the fourth and last monument in the room to the left of Rotana. Go to the back left corner of the room, turn around, and face the entrance. If you stand in the right place and have the right angle, the monument will be composed of two separate parts.
Return to Rotana and show her your snapshots. She will reward you 100 rubies and a first clue to the quest "The Mysterious Eight". This was the side quest "The Heroines' Secret" in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
