The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has captivated gamers with its intricate quests and enchanting world. Among its many challenges, players will encounter a thrilling side quest that revolves around the creative genius of Dampé, the renowned gravekeeper. This quest, titled “Explosions Galore!”, is packed with excitement and requires players to gather unique items to inspire Dampé’s latest creation.
Located in Dampe’s Studio, situated in East Hyrule Field, this quest becomes available after completing the “Still Missing” main quest and the “Automaton Engineer Dampé” side quest. To kick off the adventure, players must delve into Dampé’s journal found within his studio, where they will discover his artistic vision.
Dampé’s request is twofold: he needs a creature that can spit stones during battle and a firework that can soar into the sky. The creature he has in mind is none other than the Octorok, a well-known enemy in the Zelda series. Additionally, he mentions a fireworks artisan located on Eldin Volcano, hinting at the need for literal fireworks to fulfill his artistic demands.
Finding the Fireworks Artisan
While Dampé doesn’t provide specific directions to the fireworks artisan, players can easily track him down. To do so, they must first complete the quest titled “The Rift” on Eldin Volcano. For those who are unfamiliar with the region, the best way to reach Eldin Volcano is to warp to Kakariko Village. If this warp point is unavailable, players should travel as far east as possible and then head north, following the main quest path into the volcanic area.
To navigate through the winding roads and avoid monsters, players can utilize a Crawltula to swiftly move north, ultimately arriving at Goron City, where the fireworks artisan resides. However, before players can engage with the artisan, they must mend the rift that has disrupted Goron City, restoring it to its former glory. For those seeking assistance, a detailed walkthrough is available to guide players through this crucial task.
Restoring Goron City
Once the rift is mended and Goron City is safe, players can visit Basa, the fireworks maker, who resides in the top right home of Goron City. It’s important to note that Basa will not be interested in crafting fireworks until after the main rift has been repaired. Therefore, players must ensure that they have completed this significant quest before returning to Basa.
Upon returning to Basa, players can initiate the side quest titled “The Fireworks Artist.” This quest is relatively quick but is essential for acquiring the firework echo, which is a critical component for Dampé’s project. For those needing guidance, a side quest walkthrough is available to assist players in completing this task efficiently.
Completing Dampé’s Vision
After successfully learning the fireworks echo, players can head back to Dampé’s studio. Here, they will need to summon the firework echo on the pedestal. Dampé will confirm that this is precisely what he was looking for. If players have not yet shown Dampé the Octorok, they should do so at this point to complete the tasks he assigned.
With both the firework echo and the Octorok in hand, Dampé will eagerly begin his work. His latest creation is called the Tockto, a testament to his innovative spirit and the player’s dedication to completing the quest.
Players engaging in “Explosions Galore!” will not only enjoy the thrill of the chase but also contribute to the rich tapestry of creativity within the world of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This side quest exemplifies the game’s commitment to immersive storytelling and the joy of exploration, ensuring that players remain captivated by the adventures that await them in Hyrule.
