The Guidance From Ages Past quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom serves as a pivotal storyline where players uncover the location of the Fifth Sage. After following a mystical relic down through Tobio's Hollow Chasm into the Faron Depths, Link arrives at the ancient Construct Factory. Completing this objective requires assembling a physical body for Mineru so she can lend her aid in the ongoing battle against Ganondorf.
Reaching the Faron Depths and Construct Factory
To initiate this questline, players must journey to Dragonhead Island and follow the light emitted by an ancient Zonai mask. Placing the mask on the central pedestal in Tobio's Hollow reveals an elevator leading deep underground into the Depths. Activating the Muokuij Lightroot immediately upon arrival provides essential visibility across the shadowy factory grounds.
Retrieving the Four Construct Parts
Building Mineru's vessel requires retrieving four separate limbs housed within distinct facilities surrounding the central hub. Players must visit the Left-Leg, Right-Leg, Left-Arm, and Right-Arm Depots to claim each component. Each room features tailored puzzle challenges involving rockets, wheels, hooks, and fan rafts to transport the boxed parts.
Assembling the Vessel and Exploring Mechanics
Once a part arrives back at the central mold, players use Ultrahand to unbox and slot the limb into place. Bringing all four sections together activates Mineru's construct, allowing Link to ride atop the newly formed machine. The construct can walk safely across hazardous gloom terrain while equipping powerful weaponry and Zonai attachments onto its arms.
Journeying to the Spirit Temple
With the construct fully operational, players must guide Mineru southeast toward the Spirit Temple to reclaim her Secret Stone. Utilizing attached fans and rockets helps the machine traverse steep cliffs and broken stone pathways along the route. Reaching the temple culminates in a battle against the Seized Construct to complete the quest.
