Cephla Lake Cave

Cephla Lake Cave is a cave in Eldin Canyon, about 163 map units from Foothill Stable Well. It is the setting for the side quest Misko’s Cave of Chests: a dog leads you to the one real chest among dozens of decoys, and a Bubbulfrog deeper in drops a Bubbul Gem you can trade to Koltin in The Hunt for Bubbul Gems!

How to find it

The entrance is at map coordinates 2593, 1330, on the shore south-west of Lake Cephla, just below a camp where Domidak and Prissen are cooking. Look for the tent and the campfire on the grassy ledge above the cave mouth.

Inside the cave

Feed the dog and follow it in

Talk to Domidak and Prissen at the camp to start Misko’s Cave of Chests, then give the dog beside the tent a piece of meat (Raw Prime Meat works). It runs to the cave mouth and lies down, waiting for you to follow it inside.

Find the real chest among the decoys

The cave is full of chests sunk into a pool of lava. Let the dog lead you to the chest it sits beside, pull that chest out with Ultrahand and open it for Ember Trousers, which are part of the Ember set and protect against heat. A bottle containing Misko’s letter lies with it; examine it to start the follow-up quest Misko’s Treasure: The Fierce Deity. The Ember Trousers can be bought back at Cece’s Armor Shop in Hateno Village if you lose them.

Take down the Bubbulfrog

Leave the chest room and follow the cave further in; guides note that the Bubbulfrog is on the left side once you are inside. A white Bubbulfrog hangs on the rock wall; knock it down and pick up the Bubbul Gem it drops. A Giant Brightbloom Seed grows on the floor close by if you need light.
