UnlocksSheik Sheik, the Giant's Knife Giant’s Knife and the Fire Rod Fire Rod; the next story scenario

The Sheikah Tribesman sends Link and Impa through the lava tunnels of the Eldin Caves on their way to Faron Woods. To win, you capture the cave keeps, escort Bombchus to blow up the stone spires that block the lava, and defeat Wizzro when he tries to stop the last Bombchus. The mysterious Sheik appears along the way, and the scenario rewards you with the Giant’s Knife and the Fire Rod.

Before you start

Link and Impa fight together from the start and you can switch between them; Sheik joins your party partway through. The Heart Container needs Impa and the Piece of Heart needs Link, so you can collect both on this first pass if you carry the bombs from the first scenario. The Hard-only Gold Skulltula needs Impa with the Giant’s Knife and the Hookshot, so plan to return to it later.

Lava field and the first stone spire

Capture the cave keeps

Fight your way across the lava field with Link and the Hylian soldiers against the skeleton troops. Outposts keep spawning soldiers, so capture them early. Take the keeps the objective banners ask for until all of them are captured and the gates between the sections open. A Hylian Captain gets reinforcements and an Outpost Captain turns up soon after, so defeat them to keep the field under control.

Bombchu

Escort the Bombchu to the stone spire

Lava blocks the path to the southeast exit, and the Goron Captain offers a Bombchu to blow up the first stone spire. When the escort objective starts, follow the Bombchu and keep it safe. The Dark Wizard orders his troops to destroy it, so cut down every enemy that gets close. When the Bombchu destroys the spire, the way ahead opens.

Sheik rescues you

You are surrounded in the dark cave until a masked Sheikah warrior, Sheik, drives the enemies off and tells you the princess is still alive. Impa asks about the Sheikah tribe, and Sheik offers to join you, so Sheik becomes a warrior you can play for the rest of the scenario. Next, follow the objectives into the deepest tunnels to defeat the Spirit of the Caves, whose defeat helps the army reach the exit.

Crystal Cave

Stone Square and the chests

Capture the Tunnel Square, the Stone Square and the Crystal Cave keep. At one point the objective tells you to open a chest and take the treasure, which holds a sealed weapon whose identity you only learn on the results screen. Another chest appears after you capture the Crystal Cave keep, and it holds the Piece of Heart, so do this with Link selected.

Side mission and armored troops

A side mission starts while you work in the cave, with the objective to stop the Assault Troops, and a message warns about armored troops. Defeat the armored units before they reach their destination. Capture the keeps named in the objective and the Central Square opens, ready for the final escort.

Banner reads Dark Forces are attacking the Bombchu as Wizzro's dark cloud appears

Wizzro boss fight

The larger stone spire needs two Bombchus. Escort them while Wizzro appears and tries to destroy them himself; the objective reads “Escort the Bombchus to the two stone spires!”. Go after him with Link or Impa, and keep an eye on the objective, because the defeat conditions change while he is on the field. After he is beaten he retreats, and the Bombchus finish blowing up the spires.

Stay close to the Bombchus and clear enemies off them. The Hard Gold Skulltula needs you to finish with no Bombchu lost and with Sheik safe, so it is worth playing this fight carefully even on your first run. Reach the exit and the scenario ends.

The Sheikah Tribesman Gold Skulltulas

Gold Skulltula

Gold Skulltula 1: beneath a rock near the Stone Square

On any difficulty, defeat 1,000 enemies in this scenario, then find the Gold Skulltula under a rock outside the Stone Square in the southeast. If you ignore the message, the Gold Skulltula runs off, so go to it at once.

Gold Skulltula

Gold Skulltula 2: north of the Crystal Cave

This one needs Hard or Hero difficulty, Impa with the Giant’s Knife and the Hookshot, which you pick up in The Shadow King, so return on a later pass. Defeat Wizzro without letting any Bombchu be destroyed and without Sheik falling. The Gold Skulltula waits on a ledge on the path north of the Crystal Cave, and you reach it by using the Hookshot to climb up.

Heart Container and Piece of Heart

Heart Container

Heart Container

Play as Impa and carry bombs. Look for a boulder near the cave exit, blow it up and open the chest beneath it. Only Impa can collect it.

Piece of Heart

Piece of Heart

Play as Link and capture the Crystal Cave keep. A chest appears and holds the Piece of Heart.

Rewards and what unlocks next

The results screen gives you the Fire Rod and the Giant’s Knife, along with the sealed weapon from the chest and other weapons, plus materials such as a Big Poe’s Lantern. Sheik becomes a warrior with her Harp, and the next scenario in the story opens. The Bazaar lets you spend your Rupees on badges and on training at the Dojo.
