If she's not there, she also moves to the entrance to the Chief's throne room from 3-8PM pleading with Reeza the guard. She asks Link for some Molduga Guts for her husband who has fallen ill.

There are 4 Molduga sub-bosses in the Gerudo Region. One is located west of Gerudo Town near Tho Kayu Shrine in the Toruma Dunes. Another is located to the Southwest of town on the way to the Dragon's Exile. Another can be found in the South at the Arbiter's Grounds, and the fourth is nearby in the Southern Oasis, directly South of town.

They are very sensitive to vibrations and it tends to attack anything that draws near. Bomb Arrows are very effective for defeating this monster. You can also lure one by finding high ground, throwing a bomb down and exploding it to get its attention, then throwing a second bomb onto the sands and wait for it leap into the air and swallow the bomb before detonating it to stun it - just be sure back off when it revives as it will spin around for massive damage.

After defeating the Molduga and collecting its guts, return to Malena for a Gold Rupee (300) reward. Note that you don't need to specifically kill after starting the quest - if you've already obtained guts from killing them previously, you can hand them over on the spot.
