Ambush in the Depths is a flight battle: you pilot the Knight Construct through underground caverns, then fight a horde led by a Black Hinox. Defeat the Hinox to capture the outpost and finish the battle.

Before you start

The recommended level is 39 and you fly the Knight Construct with Calamo along as your companion, so there is nothing to choose. You start with a Frost Emitter and a Cannon as attack devices, plus a Shock Emitter that boosts your dodges.

Flight loadout and devices

Near the start you can pick up a Rocket and use it in place of either starting device. Use the Cannon on the Stone Taluses underground, and the Frost Emitter or the Rocket for smaller enemies. Early in the flight Calamo points you to a Light device, which brightens the pitch-black tunnels, and pickups along the route raise the level of your devices.

Flying the caverns

Rock Octoroks

Rock Octoroks cling to the cave walls and fire rock projectiles. Watch the background for a red flash and dodge when it appears.

Breakable wall

A breakable wall blocks the way later in the flight. Keep the Cannon equipped, because a single Cannon shot clears it.

Black Hinox fight

At the end of the flight you land in a horde guarding an outpost, led by a Black Hinox. From here you fight on foot as the Knight Construct, with Calamo helping. Defeat the Hinox to capture the outpost, which ends the battle.

Korok Seeds

This battle has no Korok Seeds, so the flight and the Hinox fight are the whole job.

Treasure chests

There are no treasure chests along the flight route or at the Hinox outpost; the only pickups are materials such as Wood and Luminous Stone, and the reward is the first-clear materials listed below.
