TotK The Secret Room: Where Oaki Is, Giant Brightbloom Seeds
The Secret Room in Tears of the Kingdom: reaching Oaki in the Great Deku Tree's mouth, finding blue nightshade and giant brightbloom seeds, and the reward.
The Secret Room is a side quest in Korok Forest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Korok Oaki has hidden himself in the Great Deku Tree’s mouth and is turning it into a secret room, and he wants a few things that glow to decorate it. All side quests are listed on side quests.
How do you start The Secret Room?
You first have to cure the Great Deku Tree, who is sick with Gloom; the quest only appears once Korok Forest is back to normal. The steps are on Korok Forest.
Then go inside the Great Deku Tree. The Korok Tasho in there gives you the hint: “Have you seen a Korok named Oaki? … Maybe he’s hiding in the Great Deku Tree’s mouth… If you wanna know where his mouth is, it’s right above the Spore Store.”
Walk into the Spore Store inside the tree, stand in the shop and use Ascend on the ceiling. You come up in Oaki’s room (Show on map), and he jumps: “Ah! I’ve been spotted! I wonder how you got in here…”
What does Oaki want?
“We’re in the Great Deku Tree’s mouth. Guess what else! I’m putting together a SECRET room here!” To decorate it he needs:
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Nightshade | 4 | Oaki wants “blue nightshades that glow gently at night” |
| Giant Brightbloom Seed | 2 | “For the brightbloom seeds, I’m looking for something bigger than what you can find in the General Shoppe.” |
If you already carry enough, you can hand them over on the spot.
Where do you find Blue Nightshade and Giant Brightbloom Seeds?
- Blue Nightshade: there is plenty around Korok Forest. It lines the flower path to Sakunbomar Shrine, so one trip between the Great Deku Tree and Sakunbomar Shrine is enough. It glows blue at night. Every spot is mapped on Blue Nightshade.
- Giant Brightbloom Seed: the item description reads “A seed that’s found underground”, and almost all of them grow in caves. The nearest to Korok Forest is Rauru Hillside Cave northwest of Woodland Stable (Show on map), which holds exactly two; reportedly one is near the chest you get for clearing the monster camp inside, and one is behind a breakable wall by the tar pit. Little Frox drop them now and then; see Giant Brightbloom Seed.
How do you finish it, and what is the reward?
Go back to Oaki and choose “I’ve got them.” If it is not night yet, he asks: “It’ll be so much prettier in the dark, so I want you to stay until nighttime. OK?”
- Choose “Sure.” and time skips to night; then hand the items over.
- Choose “I can’t right now…” and he asks you to bring the decorations when you change your mind.
When the room is done, Oaki gives you Korok Fabric: “I was thinking I’d lay this on the floor like a rug, but you can have it!” It is a paraglider fabric; see paraglider fabrics for how to use it.
