Just like in the Eastern Temple, you\u2019ll need to take these two and shepherd them into the cube mechanism at the back of the room. Alternatively, you can cheese it by summoning two <strong>sparks<\/strong> and shooting them directly into it. Problem solved.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>Hidden Ruins Room #3<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hidden-ruins-and-cotton-candy-hunt-quest-walkthrough-for-zelda-echoes-of-wisdom-6.jpg\" alt=\"Zelda enters a room with spiderwebs in the Hidden Ruins in Echoes of Wisdom\" title=\"Zelda enters a room with spiderwebs in the Hidden Ruins in Echoes of Wisdom\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Grezzo, Nintendo EPD\/Nintendo via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Use an <strong>ignizol<\/strong> here to set fire to everything flammable.

This works best if you stack them against the wall, not touching the platform directly, as the sparks will electrocute the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Once on the platform, it\u2019s easiest to defeat the sparks so that you\u2019re not constantly dodging them. <strong>Spear moblins<\/strong> still come in handy here. Open the chest for <strong>20 Rupees.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Drop down again and build another stack of water blocks on the other side of the next platform. (This spark has to go far enough that you have time to climb it before it gets around to electrocute the water again.)

Not very surprising, given the deku scrub\u2019s report. He\u2019ll immediately break into three clouds. If you remember from the last time you played this game with him, you\u2019ll need to cause them to bump into each other in order to recombine them, since they don\u2019t take damage in this form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In this stage, we used a bed falling from the top platform to push the topmost cloud down onto the larger platform at the bottom. Its path then intersected with the right cloud and soon after the left cloud.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Once reassembled, Smog can take quite a few more hits than previously, but you can wear him down. We found an effective method was filling the bottom of the room with<strong> pathblades<\/strong> to make it absolutely hazardous. It still took a while (pathblades aren\u2019t that strong) but was quite safe as long as you stay in the middle of the room and dodge the lightning balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Smog will split into five clouds this time. On the right and the left, where there are two platforms being circled, statues will force the lower cloud to rise up, and cause a collision. (You may need to use <strong>Bind<\/strong> to reverse their travel direction.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hidden-ruins-and-cotton-candy-hunt-quest-walkthrough-for-zelda-echoes-of-wisdom-11.jpg\" alt=\"Zelda fights the Smog boss in the Hidden Ruins in Echoes of Wisdom\" title=\"Zelda fights the Smog boss in the Hidden Ruins in Echoes of Wisdom\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Grezzo, Nintendo EPD\/Nintendo via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can then push the top cloud down for another collision. Depending where the resulting combinations end up, continue pushing and manipulating them until you have Smog back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The second part of the combined Smog fight is much the same as the first part \u2014 and seemed to take less time. Once you\u2019ve defeated him, Smog will explode into a bunch of rupees, monster stones, and a piece of heart. Then you\u2019ll be able to climb out and exit the Hidden Ruins.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-none\"><strong>How to finish \u2018Cotton Candy Hunt\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hidden-ruins-and-cotton-candy-hunt-quest-walkthrough-for-zelda-echoes-of-wisdom-12.jpg\" alt=\"Zelda talks to a deku scrub during the Cotton Candy Hunt mission in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom\" title=\"Zelda talks to a deku scrub during the Cotton Candy Hunt mission in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Grezzo, Nintendo EPD\/Nintendo via Polygon\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Return to the deku scrub in Scrubton to tell them the bad news.
