In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the “Dohna’s Challenge” side quest tests your stealth abilities as you navigate the Gerudo Treasury to obtain a special reward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to completing this quest:
Quest Overview
Location: Gerudo Town
Quest Giver: Dohna, located on the eastern side of Gerudo Town
Objective: Infiltrate the Gerudo Treasury without being detected
Reward: Silk Pajamas outfit
Starting the Quest
After completing the “Still Missing” main quest, return to Gerudo Town and speak with Dohna, found on the eastern side of town. She challenges you to test the new security measures in the Gerudo Treasury by attempting to retrieve a treasure without being caught.
Infiltrating the Treasury
Accessing the Treasury: The Treasury entrance is located at the far northwest corner of Gerudo Town. Approach the guard at the entrance; upon accepting Dohna’s challenge, she’ll grant you access.
Navigating the Ground Floor:
- First Guard: Patrols around a central cabinet in a square pattern. Follow her movements and proceed to the right when she turns away.
- Second Guard: Moves up and down the room. Wait for her to walk towards the top before crossing her path.
- Third and Fourth Guards: Patrol synchronously around two square cabinets. Time your movements to slip past them.
Optional Treasure: Before ascending the stairs, there’s a treasure chest at the northern end containing 10 Chilly Cactus items. To access it, sneak past the patrolling guards and open the chest.
Ascending to the Upper Floor: Head east and ascend the stairs. At the top, a guard patrols in an L-shaped route. Follow her movements, keeping a safe distance, and proceed north when the path is clear.
Final Guard and Main Treasure: The final guard stands directly in front of the room containing the main treasure. To distract her, create a Pot Echo and throw it to one side. When she investigates the noise, quickly enter the room and open the treasure chest to obtain the Silk Pajamas outfit.
Completing the Quest
After retrieving the Silk Pajamas, a cutscene will play where Dohna acknowledges your success. She allows you to keep the outfit as a reward for completing the challenge.
Additional Tips
Echo Utilization:
- Water Block Echo: Use it to reach elevated positions, such as the top of cabinets, to avoid detection.
- Flying Tile Echo: Allows brief flight, enabling you to glide over guards or obstacles.
Patience and Observation: Carefully observe guard patterns and move only when it’s safe. Rushing can lead to detection and ejection from the Treasury.
By following this guide, you’ll successfully complete “Dohna’s Challenge,” adding the Silk Pajamas to your collection and demonstrating your stealth prowess in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
