In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the “Automaton Engineer Dampé” side quest introduces players to the creation of Automatons—mechanical companions that assist in combat. Here’s a comprehensive guide to completing this quest:
Quest Location: Northeast of Hyrule Ranch in Hyrule Field.
Prerequisites:
Completion of the “Still Missing” main quest, which involves exploring Hyrule Castle.
Steps to Complete the “Automaton Engineer Dampé” Side Quest:
Initiate the Quest: After completing the “Still Missing” quest, head northeast of Hyrule Ranch in Hyrule Field. There, you’ll encounter Dampé in a dispute with a crow that has stolen his clockwork key.
Retrieve the Clockwork Key: Use an Echo, such as the Mothula Echo, to attack the crow perched atop a tree and retrieve the clockwork key.
Visit Dampé’s Studio: After retrieving the key, speak with Dampé. He’ll invite you to his studio, marking its location on your map. Dampé’s Studio is situated in Eastern Hyrule Field, just east of Hyrule Castle Town. 
Receive Initial Reward: Upon visiting his studio, Dampé will reward you with five Twisted Pumpkins, which can be used to craft smoothies.
Assist Dampé in Creating an Automaton:
Dampé seeks inspiration to create a new Automaton and requests Echoes of specific creatures:
- A creature with a big eye that’s always jumping around.
- Something that shoots hot smoke out of its backside to blast forward.
Collect the Required Echoes:
Tektite Echo: Tektites are spider-like creatures with a prominent eye, commonly found in Hyrule Field and the Zora River.
Mothula Echo: Mothulas are moth-like creatures that can be encountered in various regions.
Present the Echoes to Dampé: Return to Dampé’s Studio and place the Tektite and Mothula Echoes on the pedestal as requested.
Obtain the Techtite Automaton: After providing the necessary Echoes, Dampé will craft the Techtite Automaton for you. This mechanical companion can perform jumps and blast away nearby monsters, aiding you in combat.
Additional Notes:
- Automaton Repairs: If your Automaton breaks, return to Dampé. He can repair it for a fee, requiring Rupees and Monster Stones.
By following this guide, you’ll successfully complete the “Automaton Engineer Dampé” side quest, unlocking the Techtite Automaton to assist you on your journey through Hyrule.
