This chapter begins in the sky above Rabella Wetlands, where the Necluda Sky Crystal opens Kumamayn Shrine and two Sage’s Wills drop from the Flux Construct III and King Gleeok. It then drops through Meda Mountain Chasm and the Eventide Island Chasm to light four Lightroots and sweep the south-east Depths mine by mine for armor and Large Crystallized Charges. Coordinates are map units (X, Y, height); larger Y is further north.

Quick route

Glide from Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower to the Necluda Sky Archipelago for the first Korok, the Device Dispenser, Kumamayn Shrine with its crystal and its Zonaite Bow, and the climbing Korok on the way to the Flux Construct III’s Sage’s Will island.

Fly out over Eventide Island for the King Gleeok and its Sage’s Will, then drop through Meda Mountain Chasm for Yikot, Mimufis and Kotimab Lightroots and surface to visit the Goddess Statue at Hateno Village.

Return through the Eventide Island Chasm, using Brightbloom Seeds in the dark, to win Midna’s Helmet at the Lone Island Coliseum and light Ni-iraram Lightroot, then walk the Depths west to east for Hickaly Grove, Rozudo, Meda, Taran and Tuft Canyon mines and finish at Abandoned Lurelin Mine, Cresia Pit Mine and Dunsel Canyon Mine.

Necluda Sky Archipelago

Glide to the sky islands

Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower at (2420, -2755, 216). Launch from the tower and glide south-east toward the Necluda Sky Archipelago; the first ruined island sits above (2719, -2748, 1220).

Lift the rock for the Korok seed

Korok seed (Lift the rock) at (2719, -2739, 1222), at the foot of a big dead tree on the first island. Lift the single rock beside the tree trunk to make the Korok appear and take the seed.

Use the Device Dispenser

Device Dispenser at (2852, -2959, 1211) on the central island. It stocks Steering Sticks, Small Wheels, Cannons and Lights; feed it a Zonai Charge for one.

Defeat the Flux Construct III and take the crystal

Miniboss: Flux Construct III on the island near the shrine. It carries the glowing crystal you need on its shoulder. Hit its glowing weak spots with bomb flowers and strong weapons, then take the crystal with Ultrahand and carry it to the beam.

Clear Kumamayn Shrine: Rauru’s Blessing

Kumamayn Shrine (Rauru’s Blessing, no puzzle) at (2856, -2856, 1225), the end of The Necluda Sky Crystal. Place the crystal in the shrine’s ray of light to open it, then collect the Zonaite Bow from the chest and the Light of Blessing.

Climb the wall for the Korok seed

Korok seed (Climb on the wall to touch the marker) at (2932, -2991, 1258), on the south-east island. Climb the brown wall of the pillar and touch the marker at the top to release the seed.

Take the Sage’s Will from the second Flux Construct III

Sage’s Will at (2552, -3601, 895), on the South Necluda Sky island above Tuft Mountain. Beat the Flux Construct III that guards it, then open the chest for the Sage’s Will.

Defeat King Gleeok above Eventide Island

Miniboss: King Gleeok at (4653, -3829, 1066), on the island over Eventide Island. Shoot out each head’s eyes while gliding around it and hit the necks with Bomb Flowers; the three heads (fire, ice and lightning) must all be removed.

Open the Sage’s Will chest on the Gleeok island

Chest: Sage’s Will on the island where the King Gleeok circles. Step up to the chest at the island’s top and open it for the Sage’s Will. Offer four Sage’s Wills to any Goddess Statue to strengthen the bond with one of the Sages and boost that Sage’s help in battle.

Dye the paraglider with Gleeok Fabric

At the Hateno Village dye shop (3402, -2139), the Gleeok parts you collected make Gleeok Fabric for your paraglider. Choose Rework a paraglider and select the fabric.

Farm dragon parts

Build a hoverbike or a wing glider and fly beside the dragon that circles above the Necluda coast. Shoot its scales and horns with arrows and pick up what falls.

Necluda Depths: the Lightroots

Light Yikot Lightroot

Yikot Lightroot at (2303, -2378, -638), the West Necluda Depths. Drop into Meda Mountain Chasm at (2513, -2381) and glide to the glowing root tree; Yikot lies beneath Tokiy Shrine in West Necluda.

Light Mimufis Lightroot

Mimufis Lightroot at (2825, -3269, -547), under Sifumim Shrine near Lurelin Village. Travel south-east along the Depths floor from Yikot and step onto the root’s glowing circle.

Light Kotimab Lightroot

Kotimab Lightroot at (3092, -3209, -645), under Bamitok Shrine in Mount Dunsel Cave. Continue east from Mimufis to the next root.

Trade Sage’s Wills for a Heart Container

Heart Container at the Hateno Village Goddess Statue (3439, -2098, 131). At a Goddess Statue, four Lights of Blessing (from shrines) buy a Heart Container or Stamina Vessel, while four Sage’s Wills instead strengthen a Sage’s bond; they are separate trades, so spend the Lights here if you have four.

Drop through the Eventide Island Chasm

Eventide Island Chasm at (4507, -3461), on the north tip of Eventide Island. Glide in from the shrine island and fall straight down into the Necluda Sea Depths.

Lone Island Coliseum and Ni-iraram Lightroot

Win the Lone Island Coliseum

Lone Island Coliseum at (4563, -3604, -349). Enter the arena and the gate closes behind you; waves of Gloom-corrupted Bokoblins and Lizalfos follow. Build a Zonai ally with a Cannon or Beam Emitter on a Steering Stick, and fight from the high ground.

Open the chest for Midna’s Helmet

Chest: Midna’s Helmet at (4569, -3613, -472), at the end of the arena. Open the chest for Midna’s Helmet, a head piece with Gloom Resistance (Old Map from South Lanayru Sky Archipelago).

Light Ni-iraram Lightroot

Ni-iraram Lightroot at (4630, -3711, -526), beneath Marari-in Shrine. Leave by the south exit of the coliseum and walk to the root.

Hickaly Grove and Rozudo Canyon Mine

Search Rozudo Canyon Mine

Defeat the Frost Talus

Miniboss: Frost Talus at about (2650, -1950). Use Fire Fruit or Bomb Flowers to melt it, then hit the ore on its back.

Meda, Taran and Tuft mines

Enter Meda Canyon Mine

Meda Canyon Mine at (2512, -2483, -503). The chest in the mine holds a Large Crystallized Charge.

Defeat Stalnox

Miniboss: Stalnox at about (2865, -2361), in the dark below Rabella Wetlands. Shoot its glowing eye until it collapses, then strike the eye.

Take the Eightfold Blade

Chest: Eightfold Blade at about (2286, -3877, -45), under Clarnet Coast. Open the chest for the Eightfold Blade. A neighbouring chest holds the Shield of the Mind’s Eye and Arrow x10.

Abandoned Lurelin Mine, Cresia Pit and Dunsel Canyon

Take the Schema Stone

Schema Stone at the Steward Construct in Abandoned Lurelin Mine. Answer the construct to receive a Schema Stone that adds the Dirigible to Autobuild. You need Autobuild from the Great Abandoned Central Mine first, and the Steward Construct only talks to you after you deal with the Yiga (or wear the Yiga set). A second Large Crystallized Charge sits in the mine.

Miniboss: Flux Construct III at about (3259, -3687). Beat it with its weak spots for a Zonaite haul.

Miniboss: Battle Talus at about (3280, -3405), just before the return route. Hit the ore on its back with a strong weapon and throw its arms back with Ultrahand.

Return to the surface and dye the paraglider

Take the shortcut out of the Depths and dye your paraglider with Stalnox Fabric at the Hateno Village dye shop.

Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower at (-2439, -2183, 301), north-north-west of Spectacle Rock. Climb to the top and activate the terminal; the route continues in Gerudo Desert.

Old Maps and the armor chests

Three armor pieces in this chapter are marked by Old Maps found in the sky, so collect the map first and the chest location appears on your map. The Midna’s Helmet map is the Old Map on the South Lanayru Sky Archipelago (4658, -869, 1769) and points to Lone Island Coliseum (4562, -3619, -470). The Cap of the Hero map is on the South Hyrule Sky Archipelago (-1343, -1547, 801) and points to Tuft Canyon Mine (2519, -3602, -625). The Trousers of the Wind map is on Wellspring Island (3692, 593, 1246) and points to Cresia Pit Mine (3794, -3613, -445). All three pieces count toward the Depths armor sets and can be upgraded at a Great Fairy fountain.

Depths landmarks in this chapter

Sky and Depths links in this stretch

Each Lightroot in this chapter lies directly below a surface shrine, so lighting it from the Depths also shows the shrine’s surface location on your map: Mimufis under Sifumim Shrine (2825, -3270), Kotimab under Bamitok Shrine (3093, -3209) and Ni-iraram under Marari-in Shrine (4631, -3712). Yikot sits under Tokiy Shrine in West Necluda (2304, -2377). The Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower is the best launch point for every sky island here, and the Eventide Island Chasm and Meda Mountain Chasm are the two entrances to the Depths used in this chapter.

Gloom from the coliseum’s enemies lowers your maximum hearts until you rest or eat a Hearty-type meal, so go in with plenty of hearts and several full-heal dishes in your pouch. Waves arrive as the previous one is cleared, so use the arena walls for cover while you recover. The Gloom Resistance of Midna’s Helmet is worth the effort if you plan to dive into Gloom-heavy parts of the Depths later. Light Ni-iraram Lightroot straight afterwards so that you can return to the island without repeating the fight.

Tips for this stretch

King Gleeok has three elemental heads and each one resists a different approach. Fire Fruit and Ice Fruit arrows stun the matching head, a Shock Fruit or a Zonai Beam Emitter hurts the lightning head, and a Rocket-powered glider keeps you near the island so you can land on its back between attacks. Keep a stack of Bomb Flowers for the Frox and Talus fights and save your best spare weapons for the ore deposits on the Talus bosses.

Bring plenty of Brightbloom Seeds and Zonai Charges. Each Large Crystallized Charge counts as 20 Zonai Charges, so the nine in this stretch refill a lot of vehicles. Light the four Lightroots before you start mining so the map and fast travel are available.
