In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the “Explosions Galore!” side quest allows players to acquire the Tocktorok Automaton, a mechanical companion that launches fireworks at enemies. Here’s a comprehensive guide to completing this quest:
Quest Location: Dampé’s Studio, situated north of Eastern Hyrule Field.
Prerequisites: Completion of the “Automaton Engineer Dampé” & “The Fireworks Artist” side quests.
Steps to Complete the “Explosions Galore!” Side Quest:
Initiate the Quest: After completing the “Automaton Engineer Dampé” quest, return to Dampé’s Studio and read his journal to begin the “Explosions Galore!” quest.
Gather Required Echoes:
Dampé seeks inspiration from two specific sources:
- A creature that spits stones out of its mouth: This refers to the Octorok Echo. Octoroks are octopus-like creatures found in bodies of water in areas such as Suthorn Prairie, Hyrule Field, and the Zora River in Jabul Waters.
- A firework from a guy up on Eldin Volcano: This pertains to the Firework Echo, obtainable by completing “The Fireworks Artist” side quest in Goron City, located in the Eldin Volcano region.
Obtain the Firework Echo:
- Travel to Goron City in the Eldin Volcano area.
- Speak with Basa, the fireworks artisan residing in the top-right dwelling of Goron City.
- Complete “The Fireworks Artist” side quest to learn the Firework Echo.
Return to Dampé’s Studio: With both the Octorok and Firework Echoes acquired, return to Dampé’s Studio.
Present the Echoes:
Summon the Octorok Echo on the pedestal in Dampé’s Studio
Summon the Firework Echo on the same pedestal.
Reward:
Receive the Tocktorok Automaton: After observing both Echoes, Dampé will craft the Tocktorok Automaton for you. This automaton continuously shoots fireworks, causing flashy destruction to enemies.
By following this guide, you’ll successfully complete the “Explosions Galore!” side quest, adding the Tocktorok Automaton to your arsenal and enhancing your combat capabilities in Hyrule.
