To receive the journal entry for the A Shady Customer side quest, you'll have to visit East Akkala Stable. To get there faster, you can fast travel to a nearby location such as the Katosa Aug Shrine, the Tutsawa Nima Shrine, or the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.

You will notice a guard named Hoz pacing back and forth; you can talk to him to start the quest. You need to find Kilton and take a picture so that Hoz can finally take a look at him. It seems that he's been making people in the area feel uncomfortable with his odd nightly activities.

Where To Find Kilton

To take a picture of Kilton, you'll have to find him first. If you've never met him, your first encounter with him will be at Skull Lake, northwest of the East Akkala Stable. If you fast-travel to the Zuna Kai Shrine, you'll spawn up top on the right eye of the skull, and Kilton can be found at night down below on the island that represents the left eye of the skull.

If you've already met Kilton before, you can find them on the outskirts of Hyrule's villages. He will spawn near Gerudo Town, Hateno Village, Kakariko Village, Lurelin Village, Zora's Domain, Rito Village, and Tarrey Town.

Regardless of his location, his shop is only open at night, so you can only encounter him once the clock hits 9 PM.

Once you've found Kilton, snap a picture of him with the Camera Rune on your Sheikah Slate, and bring it back to the stable for Hoz to see. Once you've shown him the picture, he will give you a Silver Rupee as a reward - worth 100 Rupees.
