Gibdos are easily one of the best enemies to farm in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Gibdo Bones that they drop give a whopping 40 attack power, at the cost of being a little britle. Players can burn through Gibdo Bones when using them on weapons to wield against powerful enemies like Lynels and Gleeoks. Here are all of the exact Gibdo locations so that you can get to farming!
Where to find Gibdos in TOTK (Zelda Tears of the Kingdom)
Gibdos are the primary enemy that patrol the sands of Gerudo Desert in Tears of the Kingdom. They emerge from nests that look like huge mushrooms coming out of the sand. When exploring the sand storm, players will easily find Gibdo camps just walking around.
There are also two big missions where players can get loads of Gibdo drops. The first occurs at Kara Kara Bazaar (coordinates -3269, -2518, 0023), where Link needs to help Riju fend of one Gibdo nest. The second happens soon after, where three Gibdo nests are posted outside Gerudo Town (coordinates-3849, -2924, 0044), and Link needs to help the Gerudo forces defend the city.
When taking out the Gibdos, it's important to remember that firing an arrow at the purple center of the nest will blow up that nest, ending the Gibdo swarm. Without doing that, though, Gibdos will keep coming. Players can farm up tons of drops just from keeping the Gibdo swarms coming.

After completing Riju's story and clearing the Lightning Temple, most of the Gibdos will leave the area. I was sill able to find some Gibdos here and there in the Gerudo Desert, though. In particular, I found several Gibdos in the underground passage from the Gerudo Shelter to the Training Grounds (coordinates -3886, -2867, 0005).
What do Gibdos drop in TOTK (Zelda Tears of the Kingdom)?
When defeated, Gibdos drop Gibdo Guts and Gibdo Bone. The guts aren't much more than an elixir ingredient and an armor power up for the Great Fairies. Gibdo Bones, however, add 40 attack power to whatever weapon they're attached to. Winged Gibdos also drop Gibdo Wings, but players won't find Winged Gibdos until the defense of Gerudo Town mission.
