The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features a wide array of side adventures that test player ingenuity and exploration skills. Among the most unique side quests in the game is A Call From The Depths, a multi-step objective that spans both the surface of Hyrule and the dark realms below. Players must solve environmental puzzles, transport key items across hazardous terrain, and deal with mysterious ancient statues to claim valuable upgrades.
Starting the Quest on the Great Plateau
To begin this side adventure, travelers must navigate to the eastern base of the Great Plateau near the Gatepost Town Ruins. A stone archway blocked by cracked boulders holds back a large body of water that submerges the entryway. Destroying these rocks with explosive weapons drains the lake and reveals a hidden stone statue that directs players toward the Temple of Time Ruins.
Upon reaching the ruined temple, interacting with the large Goddess Statue initiates the official quest line. The statue provides a mysterious message and marks four distinct chasms across the Great Plateau on the map. Each location corresponds to a missing eye that must be recovered and returned to its rightful owner in the Depths.
Locating and Transporting the Four Missing Eyes
Each missing eye is concealed near one of the four main chasms situated around the plateau. The northern eye sits submerged underwater, while the eastern eye is buried beneath a pile of breakable rocks. The southern eye is hidden under a large heavy stone, and the western eye is frozen inside a solid block of ice that must be melted with fire.
Once an eye is uncovered, players must cast it down into the adjacent chasm and plunge into the abyss after it. Navigating the underground realm requires building customized Zonai vehicles like minecarts, cars, and flying wings to haul each item across long distances. Careful assembly of steering sticks, fans, and light sources ensures that the cargo reaches its destination safely without getting lost in the darkness.
Delivering the Eyes to the Bargainer Statue and Rewards
All four items must be brought directly to the Great Abandoned Central Mine in the Depths. Hidden within the lower level of this massive structure rests a colossal Bargainer Statue containing four empty eye sockets. Inserting each eye into its respective slot gradually restores the ancient entity's sight and full power.
Completing the full delivery unlocks a direct reward choice between a full Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel. Additionally, restoring this statue unlocks a full-fledged Bargainer vendor that exchanges collected Poes for rare armor sets and valuable crafting materials.
