Follow our guide to complete the Hateno Village Research Lab side adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Find Robbie, the Mayahisik Shrine, and more.
Walkthrough
- 1After completing the Main Quest 'A Mystery in the Depths' and speaking with Robbie in Lookout Landing, you will begin the Hateno Village Research Lab Side Adventure.
- 2Fast travel to the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower and glide south to find the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab.
- 3Enter the lab and speak with Robbie. He will attach a Sensor to your Purah Pad, which will alert you when you are near Shrines.
- 4Follow the direction of the Sensor. When prompted by more dialogue with Robbie, exit the lab.
- 5Head down the hill towards the bottom. To the right of a small waterfall, you will find the entrance to the Retsam Forest Cave. Alternatively, look for a small alcove further down the hill with breakable rocks, which is also an entrance to the same cave.
- 6Proceed through the Retsam Forest Cave, defeating any Like Likes, harvesting Brightcaps, and mining Ore Nodes you encounter.
- 7You will eventually reach the Mayahisik Shrine. Interact with it to activate it as a fast travel point. There is no puzzle inside; you will find a chest and a Light of Blessing.
- 8Return to the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab and speak with Robbie to inform him of your success. This will conclude the Side Adventure.
Tips
- The Sensor attached by Robbie will help guide you directly to the Mayahisik Shrine.
- The Retsam Forest Cave contains resources like Brightcaps and Ore Nodes, which can be useful.
- The Mayahisik Shrine itself does not contain a puzzle and serves primarily as a fast travel point and a source for a Light of Blessing.
