Thunderhead Goddess Chests: Empty Bottle and Small Quiver

Where the Triforce lies

Levias’s lesson ends with Fi pointing you to the Trial Gate on Skyloft, which the completed Song of the Hero can open. That gate is your next stop, but two chests in the Thunderhead are worth collecting first, since you are already up here.

Fi, the blue spirit, tells Link that a Trial Gate can be opened by the Song of the Hero.
Goddess Cube

Open the chests with Goddess Cubes 26 and 27

Both chests sit on the island south-west of the Isle of Songs, and each stays locked until you have struck its Goddess Cube with a Skyward Strike. Cube 26 stands on a platform in the south-east of Volcano Summit near Eldin’s lair, and Cube 27 stands in Lanayru Gorge close to the Life Tree. If you skipped either one, the Goddess Cubes page gives the exact spots; the chests wait for you whenever you return.

Empty Bottle

Empty Bottle: the fifth bottle

Land on the island and look for patches of soft soil. Dig into one with the Mogma Mitts and follow the tunnel maze underground. A Moldorm may crawl through it, but you can leave it alone. Leave by the exit in the north-west corner, climb the vines up to the fenced garden and open the chest for an Empty Bottle.

Link holds up the Empty Bottle he just got; the box says it can be filled with useful things.

Empty Bottle This is the fifth and last bottle in the game, so your collection is complete. If your Adventure Pouch has no free slot, the game sends the bottle to the Item Check instead; you can pull it out from there at any time. The Bottle Locations page lists all five.

Small Quiver

Go back underground and take the other tunnel exit, which leads to a second grassy spot with another chest. It holds the Small Quiver, which lets you carry 5 extra arrows. The quiver only works while it sits in your pouch.

Link holds up the Small Quiver, with the box saying it carries five extra arrows when used with the bow.

Skyloft trial gate

Optional: Beedle’s last pouch slot

Before the trial, you may want to stop at Beedle’s Airshop on Skyloft. His final Adventure Pouch expansion costs 1,200 Rupees, so check that your wallet can hold that much. It adds one more slot for shields, potions and medals. Nothing in this chapter requires it.

Link holds up the Adventure Pouch after the upgrade, with a box saying it can fit an additional item.

Play the harp on the glowing mark

Fly back to Skyloft by diving off an island edge and whistling for your Loftwing. A ring of Blessed Butterflies has gathered in the Plaza in the middle of the island, near the Light Tower, and a glowing mark is carved into the stone there. Take out the Goddess’s Harp, follow the rings Fi draws over the mark, and strum in time with each one to play the Song of the Hero.

Link strums the harp over a glowing ring in the Skyloft plaza while a pale spirit stands on the bridge.

Fi tells you to thrust your sword into the center of the mark. Point the sword down and thrust the Wii Remote forward, and you step into the Goddess’s Silent Realm.

A spirit's message box asks Link to thrust his sword into the center of the glowing mark.
Link thrusts his sword point-down into the glowing mark, and a column of light rises into the sky.

Skyloft Silent Realm: 15 Sacred Tears

How the realm works

Fi hands you the Spirit Vessel again and tells you that she cannot come along. You begin inside a protective circle; the moment you step out of it, the Guardians that patrol the realm wake and chase you. Each Sacred Tear stops them for 90 seconds, and the petals of the Spirit Vessel show the time left. When the petals run out, the Guardians wake again, so grab the next tear before that happens.

Link stands inside the glowing protective circle on the bridge while a message box reads Understood, Master.
A tall armored Guardian stands beside a stone staircase in the Silent Realm as Link climbs past it.

A single hit from a Guardian ends the attempt and sends you back to the start, though the map remembers the tears you have already taken. Watchers carry lanterns, and being caught in their light also wakes the Guardians. The same goes for Waking Water, the red pools that cover parts of the ground: wading through them sets the Guardians off, so jump over or around them.

Two hooded Watchers cast bright light beams across the path ahead of Link in the Silent Realm.

What is different about this realm

The earlier realms in Faron, Lanayru and Eldin are open wilderness. This one is a ghostly copy of Skyloft itself, so you will be running through the Bazaar, past the Knight Academy, across the bridges and over the lake. The tears here have no special names, just Sacred Tears, and there are 15 of them to find. The paths are tight, which makes Watchers harder to dodge than in the earlier realms. Treat the tear positions below as a guide to the neighbourhood of each tear, and look around the landmark named. The reward is the Stone of Trials rather than a new tool.

Tears 1 to 4: around the Bazaar

The first Sacred Tear floats straight ahead of the starting circle, a little to the north. Head north again and climb the stairs to a wooden ledge south-west of the Bazaar where a Watcher is on patrol. Wait for it to walk toward the buildings, then run onto the left-hand platform and take the tear that rests beside a Guardian.

Link holds up the first Sacred Tear, its message box full, beside a white-armored Guardian in the Silent Realm.
Link runs up a stone staircase past bunting toward a glowing blue light column in the Silent Realm.

Tear 3 is east of that one, also near a Guardian. Let the Watcher drift toward the platform you just left, then dash east. Tear 4 sits near a tree on the east side of the Bazaar.

Link runs past a large tree and a wooden house in the Silent Realm, with a blue light column rising beside the house.

Tears 5 to 7: stairs and Knight Academy

Tear 5 waits at the top of the long staircase north of the Bazaar. Tear 6 hovers in front of the Academy’s upper entrance, and you must climb a box to reach it: pull the box into place while the Watcher’s patrol is facing away, then jump up on it. The seventh tear is on the Academy roof; climb the south side, avoid the Watcher and take it near a Guardian.

Link stands on a pushed crate in a fenced courtyard, facing a glowing blue Sacred Tear.

Tears 8 to 11: bridges and lake

Tear 8 floats halfway along a wooden bridge patrolled by Watchers, on a single plank to the left. Wait until it turns away before you step out. Cross back over the main bridge and head east into the open area for tear 9.

Link runs past a tree beside a wooden bridge plank in the Silent Realm, with red water beyond.

For tear 10, cross four rock platforms toward the Waterfall Cave with Waking Water below, so leap carefully. Tear 11 is on the bridge to the eastern residential area; a Watcher walks the middle of the span, so wait until it moves off.

Link runs up a stone stair past a tall pillar, a glowing pink drop floating in the air above him.

Tears 12 to 15: pumpkin patch, graveyard and Light Tower

Tear 12 lies in the pumpkin patch north of the residential area and is watched by four Watchers. Study their patrol lines before you commit. Tear 13 is south of it, down an alley that sometimes floods with Waking Water; check that the path is dry, then take the tear beside the Guardian.

Link runs along a path toward a white stone Guardian statue beside a tree and a railed walkway.

Tear 14 is at the south end of the graveyard, close to a tombstone, with a Watcher on the hill near the entrance. The last tear sits on top of the Light Tower: climb up once the Watcher has fully passed. The order given here is a workable loop; you can take the tears in any order that suits the patrols.

Link runs among tombstones in the graveyard, a dark wrecked ship behind him and a pale figure at right.

Leave the realm and get the Stone of Trials

After the last tear Fi warns that the trial is not over until you leave, so stay careful. Make your way back to the circle of light where you began. When you step into the circle, you receive the Stone of Trials, one of a pair that opens the way to the Triforce.

Message box says the trial continues until you exit the Silent Realm, with a blue spirit glowing above Link.

Stone of Trials and the bird statue

Place the Stone in the statue’s eye

Fi says that a matching mark must exist somewhere on Skyloft. It does: a bird statue stands near the entrance to the Waterfall Cave with a Stone already set in one eye and the other eye empty. Cross the platforms over the lake, turn left and examine the statue to push your stone into the empty socket.

The statue fires, and chunks of rock fall from the underside of the island where the Statue of the Goddess stands, exposing a tower of carved stone. Round targets then drift out into the air around it. Aim the Clawshots at each target and zip across from one to the next until you land at the doorway of Sky Keep.

The bird statue's eyes blaze with light as it activates.

Before you go in

Top up your hearts, potions and arrows first. Sky Keep has no boss and no Heart Container, but the rooms are long and full of enemies. After you make your wish at the end, the island with the keep drops to the Sealed Grounds and the dungeon can never be entered again, so finish every Sky Keep chest and treasure before that moment.

Sky Keep entrance and Dungeon Map

How the keep is built

Sky Keep is the only main dungeon in the series without a main boss. It is made of eight rooms. Six are themed after the earlier dungeons: Skyview Temple, Lanayru Mining Facility, Earth Temple, Ancient Cistern, Sandship and Fire Sanctuary. One room is the entrance, and the eighth holds the mini-boss Dreadfuse, who guards the only Small Key. The Ancient Cistern, Fire Sanctuary and Sandship rooms each hold one Triforce piece.

The Sky Keep title card floats over the arched doorway of the dim stone hall.
Link stands in the stone hall of Sky Keep, lanterns glowing beyond a carved archway.

Entrance hall

Walk in and light the Bird Statue in the entrance hall to save. Open the chest straight ahead for the Dungeon Map. Fi then marks the three sources of sacred power on it; they all radiate from the Triforce.

Link holds up the Dungeon Map in Sky Keep; its message box says it shows the layout and reveals unexplored rooms.
Fi, the sword spirit, says in Sky Keep's hall that she has triangulated three sources of power and marked them.

The sliding-room terminals

The rooms are tiles on a three-by-three grid with one gap, and stone terminals let you slide them. Walk up to a terminal, point at a room, grab it and drag it into the empty slot. The map screen shows which doors line up, and a room is only reachable where its doorways meet its neighbour’s. Tiles that hide a Triforce carry a colored triangle on the terminal: green for Courage, red for Power and blue for Wisdom.

You can tackle the rooms in any order the layout allows. This walkthrough goes Forest room, Factory room, Earth room, Dreadfuse, then the three Triforce rooms in the order Power, Courage, Wisdom. The Power room needs no key, so it is a fair one to take before Courage.

At the first terminal, drag the middle room of the right-hand column down into the bottom-right slot, then slide the middle room of the center row to the right. That opens the east door, which leads to the Skyview Temple room.

Link stands at the Sky Keep control panel while Fi explains it moves rooms through the structure to gather the Triforce.

Skyview Temple room: trees, Pyrups and the Goddess Wall

Furnix

Rope, vines and the Furnix

Turn right, chop through the trees and beat the Deku Baba, then follow the passage to a bar you can grab with the Whip. Cut the hanging rope with the Beetle so it drops within reach, then swing from the Whip bar across the chasm and jump onto the rope. A Skulltula guards the vines beyond; defeat it, then use the Clawshots to latch onto the vines, the rotating pillar’s vines and the next target in turn.

A Furnix flies about this area. Pull it down by whipping its tail, or shoot it with the Bow, and finish it with your sword.

Pyrup wall

Three Pyrups block the way and breathe fire at close range, so stay back. Send the Beetle to lift a Bomb from the rotating pillars and drop it on them. A Bomb dropped in the middle hole takes out all three at once.

Gust Bellows platform and Bird Statue

Cross the rope and use the Gust Bellows to blow the hanging platform toward the next one, then jump across. A Bird Statue stands beyond; save there and pull the lever to open a shortcut gate back to the start.

Goddess Wall for hearts

A Goddess Wall stands near the Bird Statue. Play the harp, raise a charged Skyward Strike and draw the shape on the wall to be paid in Rupees. Then leave through the north door.

Lanayru Mining Facility room: Timeshift Orbs

Carry the orb through the gates

Pick up the Timeshift Orb in the hallway. It is a Timeshift Stone you can carry, and it turns everything near it back to the past. Take it through the fenced doorway and set it down past the gate, then defeat the Sentrobe and Technoblin.

Link stands beside a spiked iron gate in a patterned stone hall, a plant bursting open nearby.
Link holds the blue Timeshift Orb overhead, ready to throw it past a barred gate.

Climb the ladder, hit the wall switch and step on the floor switch. Toss the orb through the open gate so it lands on a conveyor, follow it up the stairs and set it on the platform of the next track. Use the Gust Bellows on the pinwheel to start the platform moving over the gap, and walk beside it, stepping on a foot switch and hitting a wall switch, so it keeps going.

Link walks across a carved rug beside a wooden ladder in a stone hall.

Five eye switches

Carry the orb to the next chamber and put it on a second conveyor. Shoot the Beamos from a distance. Five eye switches hang above the belt, and the orb wakes each as it passes in front. Whip the lever in the middle to reverse the belt, then shoot or strike all five to open the gate and reveal the second terminal.

Link pulls a gold lever with the Whip in a stone room with cyan-outlined puzzle walls.

Second terminal

At the terminal, make these seven moves, naming each room by its slot on the grid: top-middle to the middle, top-left to top-middle, left to top-left, bottom-left to left, bottom to bottom-left, middle to bottom, then left to the middle. Return south to the Skyview Temple room and go through its west door into the Earth Temple room.

Earth Temple room: bombs, digging and Moldorms

Chuchu, Bomb Flowers and the first tunnel

Beat the Red Chuchu and crawl through the hole in the wall. Take the left path, because a boulder blocks the right. Collect Bomb Flowers here, roll a bomb through the gap to blow up the boulder, crawl through and deal with the next Chuchu. Dig the soft soil with the Mogma Mitts to enter a tunnel under the floor and hit the switch there, which lifts a gate above ground.

Link slashes a Red Chuchu with a burst of sparks in the rocky cave.
Link tunnels under the floor with the Mogma Mitts, with an Emerge prompt in the dark passage.

The three diamond switches

Fight the Dark Lizalfos, then go west. Three diamond switches are hidden in this cave, each covered by a statue holding a basket or by brush. Toss a bomb into a basket statue to uncover the first. Roll another down the lava-lined path into a second statue, which opens a door to the next switch. Clear trees and bamboo with a bomb or a Skyward Strike, then drop a bomb into the third statue with the Beetle to expose the last switch.

Link charges toward a distant armored Lizalfos in a cave lined with serpent-scale pillars.
Link stands before an uncovered pink diamond switch on a stone pedestal in the lava cave.
Link raises his sword to charge a Skyward Strike at a bamboo fence blocking a path.

Strike the switches to open the nearby gate. Do not hit them until all three are uncovered, and use the Beetle for any switch over the lava. If the gate stays shut, the order is wrong; one that works is the north-west switch, then the south-west one, then the north-east one. Dig the next soil spot, grab the Bomb Flower inside and use it to break the hard-to-reach boulders. Hit the blue switch beyond them to move the gate back, and return to the surface.

The Beetle hovers at a pink diamond switch set deep in a stone alcove.

Moldorm maze

Dig the next soil patch to enter a maze with two Moldorms. Fight them one at a time and use your sword on the tail, then crawl out of the exit. Back above ground, pull the lever to open the gates and go north to the Dreadfuse room. A terminal here can wait.

Link digs through the underground pit maze while a Moldorm crawls along the path beside him.
Link hits a Moldorm in the maze with a purple burst of sparks.

Dreadfuse mini-boss and the Small Key

Dreadfuse fight

Dreadfuse fights on a long plank over a drop, much as Scervo did in the Sandship. Thrust at him when his guard is down, and answer his sword swings with a shield bash from the Nunchuk. Each hit pushes him toward the end of the plank.

Link lunges with his sword at the crowned robot guard on the chain bridge, blue energy crackling around it

He loses his sword the first time you drive him to the edge, and he loses his other sword and his left arm the second time, leaving only a hook, so wait for the attack, bash it aside and keep pushing. The third time at the edge finishes him.

Link stands at the bridge edge beside the crowned robot guard as a bright blue-white burst fills the frame

Small Key chest

Use the Clawshots on the target to cross the gap he was guarding, and open the chest for the Small Key. This is the only Small Key in Sky Keep, and it opens the door to the Triforce of Courage room. Another terminal waits in this part of the keep.

Triforce of Power: Fire Sanctuary room

Move the red room next to the Dreadfuse room

At the terminal, shuffle the outer rooms counter-clockwise, then slide single rooms until the red-marked room sits directly west of the Dreadfuse room. Go through the west door.

Link walks through a jeweled serpent-carved archway toward a bright doorway in Sky Keep.

Lava rivers and water plants

Lava rivers run through the room. Strike a hanging water plant with the Beetle, a Slingshot shot or an arrow, and it falls into the lava and becomes a floating platform that you can ride down the river. Kill the Fire Keese that fly in at every stage first, because they knock you off.

A spiky green plant hangs from the ceiling above a river of lava in a stone corridor.
Link draws his bow and shoots a flaming Fire Keese over the lava, with a red lock-on ring.

Some lava flows are fed by statues with a pink diamond switch behind a short fence. Send the Beetle at the switch to stop the flow before you drop a plant, otherwise the platform collapses. Spend a moment to look for the Silver Rupee in an archway above the lava: send the Beetle to collect it.

A pink diamond glows in a niche above a column of lava, with a Speed up prompt on screen.
Dreadfuse

Mark of Din

Near the end, Spumes in the lava block the path. Shoot them or block their fire with your shield and let the lava lift your platform. Clawshot to the target at the end of the river and pull the lever to open the gate to the mark, and thrust your sword into the red mark on the floor. A shining space opens around you with the Triforce of Power waiting in it; take it and you return to the keep.

Climb the vines to the right and go back to the Dreadfuse room.

Triforce of Courage: Ancient Cistern room

Moblins, archers and the Stalmaster

Shuffle the rooms until the green-marked room lies directly west of the Dreadfuse room. Go through, unlock the door with your Small Key and meet the two Metal Shield Moblins. Shoot the first one with the Bow, or get behind it and strike its back; the second falls the same way.

Next is a room of Bokoblin Archers, with Stalfos joining the fight. Hold up your shield, shoot the archers from the shelter of the alcove and advance when they are thinned out. Bokoblins here can drop treasure, such as an Ornamental Skull. If your hearts run low, send the Beetle through the eyes of the skull statue in the wall to find recovery hearts.

Link slashes forward as a skeleton with spears and pink Bokoblins close in on the blue stone floor.

The last fight is against Cursed Bokoblins and a Stalmaster. They come at you together: finish off the Cursed Bokoblins when you get an opening, and attack the Stalmaster as you would a Stalfos. It grows two extra arms and swords partway through, so back off to dodge its flurries.

Mark of Farore

Thrust the sword into the green mark. The Triforce of Courage waits in the shining space beyond. Pull the nearby wall switch for a shortcut back to the entrance, then return to the Dreadfuse room.

Link holds up the Triforce of Courage, and its full message box says it grants the wishes of whoever possesses it.

Triforce of Wisdom: Sandship room

Move the blue room into reach

The blue-marked room takes the most shuffling. Go back to the terminal in the Dreadfuse room and shuffle the rooms until the blue-marked room sits next to one you can walk into, then use the map to plan the route there; the shortcuts you opened earlier save time. A Bird Statue stands on a platform across the sinksand in the Sandship room.

Link stands on a sand platform above the sinksand, with a bird-like statue on a ledge at the right edge.

Carry the orb through the sand

Another Timeshift Orb is here. The way to the mark is closed off, and the orb is the key. Pick it up from the platform nearby, defeat the Electro Spume and clear the Technoblins and Sentrobe, then carry it to the north end and set it down. The past version of the room brings up pillars and opens a cage, and you can cross to a window.

Link picks up a Timeshift Orb from the rocky ground with his sword drawn.
Link carries the Timeshift Orb across the sand toward a stone platform, with the Put down prompt showing.

Shoot the blue eye switch through the window to open a gate, then go back for the orb and carry it through. Beat the Deku Babas. Near the fan, keep the orb away from it, stand on the floor switch and shoot the eye target through the gaps in the blades to open the next gate.

Link draws his bow and aims at an eye target on a spinning fan blade, seen through a window.

Take the orb east and leave it where two pillars rise. Dash back across the sand to where you started, jump onto the pillars and Clawshot to the target above. With the gate open, thrust your sword into the mark and take the Triforce of Wisdom.

Link looks at a glowing golden Triforce mark set into a cyan stone hall wall.
Link holds up the Triforce of Wisdom, and the message box says it grants the wishes of whoever possesses it.

The wish at the Statue of the Goddess

Complete the Triforce

When you hold the third piece, the golden Triforce forms and Link is carried to the altar on the Statue of the Goddess. Fi says that a prayer is needed at this moment, and Link closes his eyes and wishes for the destruction of Demise. The Triforce glows on the statue.

Link stands at the foot of the Goddess statue as light bursts from the Triforce emblem on its chest.

The wish breaks the island loose. The Statue of the Goddess and Sky Keep fall from Skyloft and land in the Sealed Grounds, where they crush The Imprisoned. Fi confirms that the Isle of the Goddess has returned to the surface. Sky Keep is gone for good, but you can still reach Skyloft and the rest of the sky before the final battle.
