TotK A Call from the Depths: All 4 Eye Locations, Statue Routes

A Call from the Depths is a side adventure on the Great Plateau in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. A voice sealed in the Depths asks you to return its four eyes. Each eye lies beside one of the plateau’s four chasms; you drop it in, then carry it through the Depths to a giant statue right below the Temple of Time Ruins. The reward is a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel, your choice, and the statue then trades for Poes.

How do you start A Call from the Depths?

There are two ways in, and both lead back to the Temple of Time Ruins (Show on map).

1. The Goddess Statue in the Temple of Time Ruins. Talk to it and a broken voice says: “I am trapped…under the water…behind the stone gate…of the great plateau…”
2. The gate on the northeast wall. A gate in the plateau’s northeast wall is blocked with rocks, with water behind it (Show on map). Break the rocks with Bomb Flowers or a hammer-type weapon. Once the water drains, a half-buried statue beside the gate speaks: “As a result of you draining the water from the gate, a part of me has been freed.” It sends you to the Temple of Time Ruins on the plateau to the south.

Back at the temple, talk to the Goddess Statue again and the voice marks four chasms: “I direct you to the four chasms across this plateau. Each has one of my eyes nearby—drop them into the chasms. Then deliver the stones to me, who dwells in the Depths below this temple.”

The Great Plateau’s monsters are said to be mostly tough black variants, so you can steer around them or come back later.

Where are the four eyes?

Each eye is a glowing blue stone that Ultrahand can lift. They all sit beside their chasm, and the order does not matter.

• North: near the gate you drained. A few small pools lie beside the chasm; the eye is under the water in one of them. Pull it out with Ultrahand.
• East: at the Eastern Abbey. A pile of breakable rocks beside the chasm hides the eye. Break it with Bomb Flowers or a hammer-type weapon.
• South: a chunk of rock that fell from the sky sits in a small crater beside the chasm. Lift it away with Ultrahand to find the eye.
• West: on the peak in the plateau’s southwest corner. It is cold, so bring cold-resistant food or clothing. Several large ice blocks ring the chasm; the eye is frozen in one. Melt it with fire.

Drop the eye into the middle of the chasm and it lands at the bottom; the Adventure Log updates. Then jump in after it.

How do you carry the eyes to the statue?

The giant statue is in the Great Abandoned Central Mine, directly below the Temple of Time Ruins (Show on map). The Depths are dark, so bring Brightbloom Seeds. Zonai devices are waiting near the bottom of every chasm.

• North: there is a store of Zonai devices nearby. Build a four-wheeled car with a Steering Stick, stick the eye on it and drive south along the broken road to the mine. Activating the nearby Nogukoyk Lightroot first makes the route much easier to see.
• East: rails and a mine cart are close by. Put a Fan on the cart, load the eye, and the track ends at the entrance to the statue.
• South: you land far from the mine. Carry the eye up the nearby stairs to find a Wing and other devices. Build a plane with a Fan and a Steering Stick, attach the eye and fly to the Great Abandoned Central Mine.
• West: the longest trip. Put the eye on the nearby lift with Fans to reach the upper level, where a ready-made mine cart sits on the left-hand track. Ride it to the end, move the cart to the next track and carry on. The last stretch runs through a tunnel and stops below the statue’s hall; send the eye up on a lift. The route passes Hylia Canyon Mine, whose chest has the Miner’s Trousers.

At the statue, use Ultrahand to push the eye into any empty socket on its face.

The first time you enter the mine you may meet members of the Zonai Survey Team, get Autobuild, and trigger a fight that is part of the main quest A Mystery in the Depths. Go in ready.

What is the reward?

With all four eyes back, the statue says: “In ancient times, my eyes were stolen and sealed away.” It then asks what you desire: “A Heart Container.” or “A Stamina Vessel.” You only get one. If you are already at the limit for one of them, it tells you there is no need for more.

It then asks whether you have any Poes. From now on this statue is a Bargainer Statue that trades items for Poes. This reward is the only upgrade that costs no Lights of Blessing; see hearts or stamina for how to spend the rest.

What else is at the Temple of Time Ruins?

• A chest at the top of the temple tower holds the Nostalgic Fabric for your paraglider (Show on map). Use Ascend to reach it.
• A chest in the ruins in front of the temple holds a Royal Shield (Show on map).
