Suthorn Ruins<\/strong> is an early dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom<\/a><\/em>, immediately after the Stilled Suthorn Forest<\/a>. In Suthorn Ruins, you\u2019ll learn the Bind<\/strong> ability and fight the game\u2019s first bosses.<\/p>\n

Our Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom<\/em> guide will show you a full Suthorn Ruins walkthrough<\/strong>, including where to find the dungeon map and how to beat both bosses.<\/p>\n

Suthorn Ruins 1F walkthrough<\/h2>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

Right when you enter Suthorn Ruins, interact with the waypoint in the upper-left corner of the first room to unlock the fast travel spot. In the next room, interact with the giant boulder (pictured above) to learn Bind<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bind is an ability that\u2019ll help you solve many puzzles throughout Echoes of Wisdom<\/em>. By casting it on a monster or object, its movement becomes tied to yours. Bind allows you to easily move large objects to solve puzzles \u2014 like, for instance, shifting a giant boulder out of the way so you can step onto the switch behind it, thus opening the locked door you need to open. (That\u2019s what you need to do to exit this room.)<\/p>\n

The next room has a ladder heading down and a door leading to the left, although it\u2019s on a platform you can\u2019t reach. To reach the door, use Bind to carry the boulder, then drop it in between the ramp and the platform, like so:<\/p>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

Behind the door, you\u2019ll find a chest embedded in a pile of dirt. Use Bind to remove the chest, rewarding you with five radiant butter<\/strong>. Go back into the room with the boulder and the ramp, and climb down the ladder. You\u2019ll find yourself in a two-dimensional side-scrolling space full of spiders.<\/p>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

You can jump and climb on the silky lines of web left by the spiders. Keep heading right until you see a chest on a platform above.<\/p>\n

\n

To reach the chest, use Bind on one of the nearby spiders. Carry it to the ledge with the chest, placing the spider such so its silk thread allows you to climb to the chest. Use Bind on the spider again to get it off the thread. Then, place a trampoline<\/strong> or table<\/strong> beneath the silk thread to reach it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re looking to replicate something along the lines of the following:<\/p>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

Opening the chest gets you the Suthorn Ruins dungeon map<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To get back to dungeoning, use Bind to move the rightmost spider right by a few inches. Climb up its thread and then up the ladder on the right to return to the main part of the dungeon.<\/p>\n

In the next room, use a trampoline<\/strong> to reach the ledge on the right. You should be able to jump across the gap to reach the ledge on the left:<\/p>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

In the next room, go right and stand on the elevator to automatically get taken to the second floor of Suthorn Ruins.<\/p>\n

Suthorn Ruins 2f walkthrough<\/h2>\n

Right away, you\u2019ll encounter a darknut. We were able to defeat it with a spear moblin<\/strong>, which resulted in learning the Darknut Echo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At the top of the stairs, there\u2019s nothing to your right. Use a table<\/strong> to get over the fallen column (pictured below), then exit through the door at the top of the next set of stairs.<\/p>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

Climb down the ladder in the next room to enter a two-dimensional section. Jump across gaps until you reach a ledge with nine boxes, which you can destroy with a caromadillo<\/strong>, revealing seven floral nectar<\/strong> and a brazier:<\/p>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

To exit the room, you\u2019ll need to light the brazier that was behind the boxes. Use echoes to create a makeshift staircase (we used a table<\/strong> and a crate<\/strong>), scale it, and summon an ignizol<\/strong> to ignite the brazier. This will open the gate to the ladder on the right, which you can then exit through.<\/p>\n

Suthorn Ruins statue puzzle solution<\/h3>\n

In the next room, you\u2019ll see four darknut statues, one of which is holding a shield. Use Bind to remove the shield to open the gate.<\/p>\n

\"Zelda<\/p>\n

The room after that contains a few keese and darknuts. We defeated them by summoning an ignizol<\/strong> and then a darknut<\/strong>. Climb the really long staircase after that to arrive at the first boss of the Suthorn Ruins.<\/p>\n

How to beat the Suthorn Ruins miniboss<\/h2>\n

\"Link<\/p>\n

The first boss of Suthorn Ruins might be familiar: It\u2019s Link! During phase one<\/strong>, Link will slowly and methodically try to close the distance between you, and slash with his sword. During phase two<\/strong>, Link will gain a purple aura and move a little bit faster. The tactics remain the same for both phases.<\/p>\n
