How to find it
The entrances are at map coordinates 380, -1631 and 489, -1625, near Hills of Baumer. It is on a sky island, so glide or build your way up from the nearest Skyview Tower. Mine rails and abandoned carts lead you to the tunnel mouth.
Inside the cave
Ride a mine cart through the entrance
Use Ultrahand to lift a mine cart onto the rail outside the mine, attach a Fan to the back of it, climb in and activate the Fan. The cart rolls down the rail and carries you straight into the dark tunnel.
Light the way with Brightbloom
The mine is pitch dark. Pick up the Brightbloom Seeds growing along the tunnel and throw one into the dark to light the floor. A Mining Construct stands in the first chamber and will remind you that you need light to go deeper; follow the rails onward.
Mine Zonaite and shoot the Bubbulfrog
Break the ore deposits beside the rails with a rock-based weapon or a hammer to collect Zonaite. Further along, a Bubbulfrog floats in the open cavern; hit it with an arrow and pick up the Bubbul Gem it drops.
Use the forge and the device dispenser
Take your Zonaite to the Forge Construct at the furnace, which smelts it into Zonai Charges and crystallized charges. Past the forge, the Mining Construct beside the stone table hands out Zonai capsules if you have none; it gave Fan x3.
Ride out on a cart
Leave the way the mine cart rails lead: place a cart on the rail by the cave opening, attach a Fan to its back and ride it out over the cliffs of the sky island.
Chests, Korok and extras
| Chest | A stone chest holding Zonaite, in the structure on the floating island near the Koroks, before the second rail climb |
|---|---|
| Chest | A second chest further on holding a Portable Pot capsule |
| Korok | Reunite the Korok with his friend by carrying him across on a fan-powered cart; the friend rewards you with Korok Seeds |
| Bubbulfrog | On the ceiling above the Zonaite ore deposits; shoot it and collect the Bubbul Gem |
| Enemies | Chuchus and a few Soldier Constructs on the approach (one guide notes they drop an Opal); no real threats inside |
| Requirements | Reached after Pondside Cave and the river crossing; Ultrahand is needed for the carts, and the cave is dark so keep Brightbloom Seeds on hand |
The Mining Construct near the carts hands out Fans, a Maker Construct near the orb-shaped building explains the dispenser (feed it Construct Horns and Zonai Charges to get capsules such as Flame Emitters, Fans and Portable Pots), and broken Constructs on the slope drop Zonai Charges. The cave has two entrances; Nachoyah Shrine is the nearest shrine, and the exit leads on toward Pit Cave. Take the Bubbul Gem before you leave the area, because the Bubbulfrog respawns until you do.
