Overview
Legend of the Soaring Spear is a shrine quest set inside Tobio's Hollow Cave in the East Necluda region. Its central puzzle uses a fused weapon, a hanging ring, and a launch that reveals Utojis Shrine.
The quest takes place within Tobio's Hollow Cave, where the objective is to uncover Utojis Shrine. Rather than asking Link to defeat a named enemy or complete a combat encounter, the challenge centers on recognizing how the cave's pedestal and hanging ring relate to the riddle found inside the cave. The environment provides the key objects needed to understand the intended solution.
A note in the cave gives the quest its clue, directing the player to aim true in order to receive the blessing of light. The practical answer is to create the required fused weapon by combining a Zonai Spear with a Keese Wing. The Keese Wing gives the thrown weapon the flight distance needed for the ring-based puzzle, so an ordinary throw is not the intended method.
Once the fused weapon is thrown through the hanging ring at the end of the cave, the shrine is revealed and the shrine quest can be completed. Entering Utojis Shrine provides access to its reward, a Light of Blessing. The supplied material does not document a separate boss, character choice, collectible route, or alternate ending for this quest.

Walkthrough
- 01
Reach the quest's puzzle area
Enter Tobio's Hollow CaveTravel to Tobio's Hollow Cave in the East Necluda region and explore inward until the shrine-quest puzzle area comes into view. The supplied material identifies the cave and region but does not document a precise surface entrance or a recommended approach route.
Location: Tobio's Hollow Cave
TipKeep the cave's end area in mind; the important objects are a pedestal and a hanging ring.
- 02
Understand the riddle
Find and read the cave noteLocate the note inside the cave and read its riddle before trying to solve the mechanism. Its instruction to aim true for the blessing of light is the clue that the final action involves a carefully aimed throw rather than a conventional interaction.
Location: Tobio's Hollow Cave
TipUse the note to connect the phrase about aiming with the hanging ring farther inside the cave.
- 03
Locate the throwing target
Identify the pedestal and hanging ringContinue to the end of the cave, where the puzzle presents a pedestal and a hanging ring. These are the key landmarks for the solution, and the ring is the target that the fused weapon must pass through.
Location: The end of Tobio's Hollow Cave
Watch outThe supplied source does not document any alternate target or backup solution, so do not treat the pedestal itself as the final objective.
- 04
Prepare the soaring spear
Fuse the Zonai Spear with a Keese WingCombine a Zonai Spear with a Keese Wing to create the weapon required by the quest. The Keese Wing is not merely decorative: the documented solution specifically relies on it to provide enough flight distance for the throw.
Location: Puzzle area in Tobio's Hollow Cave
TipMake the fusion before positioning for the throw so the final attempt can be aimed at the ring without an extra interruption.
- 05
Trigger the shrine reveal
Throw the fused weapon through the ringAim the fused Zonai Spear and Keese Wing at the hanging ring and throw it through the opening. The quest solution depends on the weapon passing through the ring; a throw that misses does not perform the documented shrine-revealing action.
Location: At the hanging ring
Watch outAim carefully before releasing the weapon. The supplied material does not document a separate failure penalty, but the ring must be successfully targeted for the puzzle to advance.
- 06
Complete the shrine quest
Enter Utojis Shrine and receive the blessingAfter the fused weapon passes through the hanging ring, Utojis Shrine is revealed and becomes accessible. Enter the shrine to complete the quest's documented progression and receive a Light of Blessing.
Location: Utojis Shrine
TipThe shrine reward is the final documented outcome of Legend of the Soaring Spear.
Mission mechanics
The quest teaches its solution through a combination of written clue and environmental setup. The note's instruction to aim true points toward a precision action, while the pedestal and hanging ring at the end of Tobio's Hollow Cave establish where that action must happen. This makes the puzzle readable without requiring a combat encounter or a separate character interaction.
The important mechanical step is the fusion of a Zonai Spear and a Keese Wing. The source material identifies the Keese Wing as the part that provides the necessary flight distance, so the player should treat the fused weapon as the quest's intended tool rather than attempting to solve the ring with an unfused spear.
The final interaction is a throw through the hanging ring. Once the throw succeeds, the shrine reveal changes the task from solving the cave puzzle to completing Utojis Shrine and collecting its Light of Blessing. No additional mechanics, enemy waves, or timed sequence are documented for the quest.
