Tobio’s Hollow Cave

Tobio’s Hollow Cave is a cave in East Necluda, about 159 map units from West Necluda Sky Archipelago. Caves like this one hide chests and a Bubbulfrog that drops a Bubbul Gem; trade the gems to Koltin in The Hunt for Bubbul Gems!

How to find it

The entrance is at map coordinates 1169, -2443, near West Necluda Sky Archipelago. Look for the cave mouth at that spot; a Blupee or a ring of light often marks them.

Inside the cave

Enter between the Luminous Stones

Walk into the cave mouth between the Luminous Stone deposits and follow the torch-lit passage deeper. Keese flutter about, so keep a weapon ready.

Throw the spear through the ring

Read the Tattered Notebook beside the pond, then stand on the round pedestal. Fuse a Keese Wing to a Zonai spear and throw it a little high through the glowing ring on the pillar. If you miss, retrieve the spear and try again.

Take the shrine chest

The throw raises Utojis Shrine. Climb its stairs to the chest, which holds a Large Zonai Charge.

Open the two shield chests

Back in the cave, open one chest for an Emblazoned Shield and another for a Shield of the Mind’s Eye (both are scaling shields, so their strength depends on your progress).

Shoot the Bubbulfrog

Find the Bubbulfrog floating above the cave floor. Hit it with an arrow and collect the Bubbul Gem.

The cave has a single route. Kill a Keese on the way to get a Keese Wing. In the main cavern an old campsite has a Tattered Notebook, two Zonaite Spears and a glowing pedestal. Standing on the pedestal lights a ring on the pillar ahead; fuse the wing to a spear to give it range and throw it through the ring to raise Utojis Shrine on the left bank. You can complete the quest without reading the notebook. The cave also holds Brightcaps, Brightbloom Seeds, ore deposits, Luminous Stone and a Hearty Truffle. Fire arrows at the Bubbulfrog on the high wall to knock it down for its gem.
