Day 75: The Depths, and Vehicles

Using the monocycle I stole from the Yiga is not faster - the turn circle is Bad - but it is fun. Until I reach a point in the statue trail where the path drops off a cliff. The fanplane might have been useful here… too late to go back and get it. Regular gliding will have to do. 

I reach Kawatik Lightroot. I'm somewhere in the foothills of the Gerudo Highlands, I think. 

The statue trail leads up a steep cliff, but fortunately there are some balloons at the bottom. There's also a researcher who's clearly a Yiga trap, so I ignore him. 

When I reach the top of the slope I scan the horizon for lightroots - and I see Farosh. Swimming through the dark, sparks of light surrounding her mane. 

I don't have any protection against lightning, and she's too far away to jump across in any case. I watch her for a moment, carrying on her stately way. It feels like a good omen. 

From here I can also see white lights illuminating the base of a building. But it's not the mine - it's the South Lomei Depths Labyrinth. 

It seems the statues are leading past this place, not within - I can't find a door, anyway.

I build a fanplane from the nearby workshop, but I still haven't been back to the sky island so my batteries aren't enough to get me entirely to the next statue. It seems Farosh is going the same way as me, though she quickly outpaces me. 

I find another researcher - this one, I'm not sure about. Survey team tent, but Zonai device? I risk it. I give them a sundelion for their gloomsickness. 

Nope. Yiga. 

I get my sundelion back when they flee though. And steal their vehicle to get across the gloom, at least as far as the Amakawis Lightroot. 

Frox. I wonder how hard they are to kill really? 

Ouch. Very hard. But on the second assault, I manage it. The trick is, like the Talus, to go for the rocks. I wonder what it's fangs are best used for? Hammers? 

It takes me a second to gather up all the zonaite it dropped, and another to find the statues again.
