Previous	Akkala Part 2

This is the vertical clean-up of Akkala: the Depths labyrinth under Lomei Labyrinth Island, the sky islands above Ulri Mountain with their two crystal shrines, and the long Depths sweep beneath the Akkala Highlands that ends at Kawisar Lightroot. Every Lightroot here is already tied to a surface shrine, so lighting them also fills in the Depths map. Coordinates are map units (X, Y, height); larger Y is further north.

Quick route

Drop into the Lomei Depths Labyrinth, light Kuhsagi Lightroot, open its five side chests (Zonaite Bow, a Construct spear, a Soldier blade, Large Zonaite and a Soldier Reaper) and beat Flux Construct III in the central chamber for the Evil Spirit Armor.

Fly up to the sky islands north of Ulri Mountain: beat Flux Construct III for an Old Map, take the second Old Map, the Korok Seeds and the Device Dispenser, then carry the Sky Mine crystal to Gikaku Shrine and the Sokkala crystal to Natak Shrine. Finish with Sage’s Will, Flux Construct II and the Heart Container at the Tarrey Town Goddess Statue.

Go back down to Kimimeg Lightroot and work west to east through Rist Mine, the Abandoned Tarrey Mine, Ulri Canyon Mine, the Mucktorok arena, the Bargainer Statue at the Wellspring of Power, Rok Grove and Ui-ihcoj, then close with Kawisar Lightroot and the last Yiga hideout.

Lomei Depths Labyrinth

Light Kuhsagi Lightroot

The Lomei Depths Labyrinth (4662, 3565, -401) lies under the Akkala Sea, below Lomei Labyrinth Island. Land in the labyrinth’s central chamber and touch the Kuhsagi Lightroot at (4654, 3732, -400) to light it; it belongs to Igashuk Shrine directly above. This is the only Depths area with no Gloom. The Lightroot sits on the labyrinth’s roof, so Ascend up onto the structure from outside; if you arrive by diving from the sky labyrinth, adjust your fall and bring Brightbloom Seeds. The halls are near-identical, so drop map stamps on each chest as you find it.

Open the Zonaite Bow chest

A chest on the eastern side of the labyrinth’s exterior, at water level, holds a Zonaite Bow. Break down the Construct nearby first, and make room in your bow inventory if it is full.

Open the Soldier IV Spear chest

On the western side of the exterior, at water level, a second chest holds a Construct spear (most guides list it as a Captain’s Spear; its tier, II to IV, depends on your progress).

Open the Soldier IV Blade chest

A chest on the southern part of the labyrinth’s roof gives a Soldier’s Blade (Soldier II to IV, depending on your progress). Most chests in this labyrinth hold weapons, so free up weapon slots before you start.

Collect the Large Zonaite

In a long corridor behind the ladders at the southern entrance, a chest holds a Large Zonaite, a high-value fusing material.

Open the Soldier IV Reaper chest

A chest in a small chamber reached through a gap in the floor at the base of the first stairway holds a Soldier Reaper (Soldier II to IV, depending on your progress), a Construct-made two-handed weapon.

Flux Construct III and the Evil Spirit Armor

The central chamber is guarded by Flux Construct III. Grab its weak point with Ultrahand and keep pulling until it comes apart, then strike the exposed core in the short window before it reforms. When it falls, touch the dragon gate to finish the fight; a platform rises with a chest holding the Evil Spirit Armor, the body piece of the set (the Mask and Greaves come from the South and North Lomei Labyrinths). This completes the Depths part of The Lomei Labyrinth Island Prophecy.

Akkala sky islands

Defeat Flux Construct III

Miniboss: Flux Construct III, the guardian of the North Akkala Sky Archipelago, waits on a circular platform piled with stone crates. Keep moving while it throws and drops crates, and hit the floating core when it is exposed; Bomb Flowers and fused weapons both work. Zonai Charges and Zonaite drop when it is destroyed.

Open the first Old Map chest

Once the construct falls, a chest on the same platform opens to an Old Map. Open it from your inventory to see its marked spot on the Depths map; this one points to the Gleeok Den in the Depths, near (263, 3124, -623). The chest itself sits near (3301, 3431, 800).

Take the second Old Map

A second Old Map chest sits beneath the tower on the eastern island with the spring, near (4269, 3107, 785). Glide or fly across from the Flux Construct platform. This map leads to the Ancient Underground Fortress in the Depths, near (3319, 1507, -855).

Collect the Korok Seed on the leaf platform

On a small island further out, a leaf-pad Korok puzzle sits on a tree stump. Grab the leaf and finish the puzzle to earn a Korok Seed. Two more sky Koroks are nearby: a falling-light skydive over the Sokkala archipelago (about 3662, 1408, 1168) and a paraglide-to-the-goal puzzle over the Sky Mine (about 4653, 2137, 1239). A third skydive Korok waits above Lomei Labyrinth Island (about 4795, 3755, 1185).

Charge the Device Dispenser

A ruined island holds a Device Dispenser. Feed it Zonai Charges, such as a Large Zonai Charge from your inventory, then pick the Zonai devices you want.

Follow the beam to the Sky Mine crystal

At the Sky Mine (4603, 2129, 1302) a stone shrine gate stands on the island but will not open without a crystal. Examine the runes to start The Sky Mine Crystal, then follow the beam of light to the crystal on a higher island to the northwest. Most guides route you up a chain of launchers: activate the gate to power the first launcher, ride it, and turn the central wheel on each island to aim the next launch. Take the crystal with Ultrahand, release it over the shrine and chase it down so it does not roll away, then bring it to the entrance.

Carry the Sokkala crystal to Natak Shrine

In the Sokkala Sky Archipelago (3739, 1689, 1895), step on the stone arch to begin The Sokkala Sky Crystal. Follow the green beam to the crystal block, free it with Ultrahand and carry it to the stone altar in the shrine’s ring; the beam marks the way.

Open the third Old Map chest

A chest on the platform gives the third Old Map. The chest sits atop the platform near (3661, 1800, 988), and the map leads to Rist Mine in the Depths, near (4516, 2170, -453), the first stretch you walk next.

Enter the Abandoned Tarrey Mine

The Abandoned Tarrey Mine (3969, 1715, -305) lies directly under Tarrey Town. The entrance leads into a stone hall with a Forge Construct, which processes Zonaite you bring it into other materials.

Buy the Tunic of Memories at the Bargainer Statue

At the Wellspring of Power (3733, 2563, -352), the Depths counterpart of the Spring of Power and a short trip north of Akinatanis Lightroot, a Bargainer Statue trades equipment for Poes. The Tunic of Memories costs 400 Poes and appears once you have fed all six Depths Bargainer Statues; collect Poes from Depths ghosts, then offer them to the statue.
