How to find it
The entrance is at map coordinates 307, 3579, near Deplian Badlands. Look for the cave mouth at that spot; a Blupee or a ring of light often marks them.
Inside the cave
Enter the cave and light the tunnels
The entrance is a skull-decorated gate in the cliff south-east of the Bokoblin camp in the Deplian Badlands. The tunnels are dark, so keep Brightbloom Seeds in your inventory; there are more to pick up right inside the entrance, and throwing one lights the passage ahead.
Clear the camp for the Soldier’s-Claymore Stick
A Horriblin camp sits on a wooden platform lit by skull torches a little way in. Defeat the monsters and open the chest on the platform for a Soldier’s-Claymore Stick.
Take the Forest Dweller’s Shield and Spear
Follow the tunnel onward to a second chest holding a Forest Dweller’s Shield; carry it only if you have a free shield slot. Further on, past Minetak Shrine, a second wooden platform has a chest with a Forest Dweller’s Spear.
Shoot the Bubbulfrog at the back
After the spear chest, take the passage that climbs toward the back of the cave. Keep throwing Brightbloom Seeds so you can see the walls, spot the glowing Bubbulfrog and hit it with an arrow to earn a Bubbul Gem.
Minetak Shrine
A shrine sits in the middle of the cave at (393, 3484, 82). It is a Rauru’s Blessing shrine with no puzzle: open its chest for a Big Battery and take the Light of Blessing. The Katenim Lightroot lies below it.
Cave facts
| Entrance | One entrance, a gate in the cliff just south-east of the skull Bokoblin camp at the south edge of the Deplian Badlands |
|---|---|
| Chests | Soldier’s Claymore (or Traveler’s Claymore, Knight’s Claymore or Royal Claymore, depending on your progress) Stick (first camp), Forest Dweller’s Shield, Forest Dweller’s Spear (large chamber with Horriblins), and Big Battery (Minetak Shrine) |
| Bubbulfrog | Early in the cave, off the main tunnel, roughly between the entrance and Minetak Shrine; shoot it with an arrow for the Bubbul Gem |
| Enemies | Blue Horriblins, a Black Horriblin, Fire Like Likes, Fire Chuchus and Fire Keese |
| Materials | Brightcaps, Bomb Flowers, Luminous Stone and ore deposits |
| Shrine | Minetak Shrine (Rauru’s Blessing, no puzzle) and the Katenim Lightroot below it |
| Requirements | Plenty of Brightbloom Seeds for the dark tunnels, a few spare weapons and a way to reach the Deplian Badlands (gliding from the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower works well) |
The Bubbulfrog sits close to the start rather than at the very back. Guides place it on the first passage you take to the right, in a small side room along the left wall, so look there before you head for the chests. There are no Korok seeds in this cave.
