To trigger the Is "Intensity" Really the Key? quest, look for an NPC named Ma'chah at the hot spring. Interacting with him will trigger a cutscene in which he will explain that he is training to be the strongest at the hot spring, which has now become cold, and hopes to restore its heat with his "intensity."

Another NPC named Yoleehe explains that Ma'chah got this idea from The Book of Five Springs, and his master won't leave till he makes the cold water boil with sheer intensity. As such, he asks the Traveler to do something about the situation.

After the cutscene ends, your Tepetisaurus will run away towards a Geothermal Vent. At this point, Paimon mentions that attacking the vent may lead to the spring water warming up.

You can break the vent by attacking it with Plunge Attacks or by indwelling a Tatankasaurus and using its downward stomp ability.

Once you have destroyed the first Geothermal Vent, a cutscene will ensue where a baby Koholosaurus will come out of it, which was seemingly blocking the vent and preventing the heat from reaching the spring.

An NPC named Linaha will introduce himself and explain that he was assigned to take care of the little Koholosaurus and that they ran off. Once the cutscene ends, you must follow your Tepetisaurus to two other Geothermal Vents. Destroy them as well in the same way as before to heat up the hot spring again.
