Key takeaways

The quest is best understood as a connected puzzle spanning three vertical layers rather than as a single maze on the surface.

  • Three-layer exploration The challenge moves between surface, sky, and Depths sections, so progress depends on treating the labyrinth as one connected structure.
  • Terminal-based progress Several terminals must be activated throughout the areas. Finding the terminals is the primary task that turns exploration into measurable quest progress.
  • Clues inside the maze Researchers' journals provide background and navigation guidance, making them useful reference points during the maze rather than incidental decoration.
  • Unique reward The completed challenge rewards the Evil Spirit Armor, giving the quest a substantial completion incentive beyond solving the labyrinth itself.

Lomei Labyrinth Island Prophecy overview

Lomei Labyrinth Island Prophecy is a side quest built around one of the most elaborate maze challenges in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The quest takes place in a large labyrinth in the northeastern Akkala Sea. Rather than confining the challenge to a single map layer, the labyrinth extends through surface, sky, and Depths sections, requiring players to understand how the areas connect while searching for the route forward.

Progress depends on activating several terminals distributed throughout these sections. The terminals function as the central puzzle objective: exploration reveals the maze's structure, while each activation advances the larger challenge. Researchers' journals placed inside the labyrinth add context and provide navigation clues.

The quest expands on the maze concept found in the game's predecessor by adding distinct vertical layers. Completing the multi-layered challenge leads to the unique Evil Spirit Armor, while the labyrinth also contains shrine content such as Mogisari Shrine.

Objectives

  1. Explore the large labyrinth in the northeastern Akkala Sea.The quest's main environment is Lomei Labyrinth Island and its connected sections.
  2. Navigate the surface, sky, and Depths areas.The maze is divided across distinct vertical layers that must be approached as parts of the same challenge.
  3. Activate the terminals throughout the labyrinth.Terminal activation is the puzzle action that advances the quest.
  4. Complete the multi-layered labyrinth challenge.Finishing the challenge leads to the quest's unique armor reward.
  5. Investigate the researchers' journals.The journals provide contextual information and clues that can assist with navigation.Optional

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Reach and investigate the labyrinth

    Enter the Lomei labyrinth

    Travel to the large maze in the northeastern Akkala Sea and begin exploring its surface section.

    Location: Northeastern Akkala Sea

  2. 02

    Navigate the surface layer

    Study the surface layout

    Use the maze's walls, passages, and points of interest to build an understanding of the ground-level route. Avoid assuming that the surface section contains the entire quest.

    Location: Lomei Labyrinth Island

    TipTreat the labyrinth as part of a vertical puzzle rather than a self-contained ground maze.

    Checkpoint
  3. 03

    Explore the sky layer

    Search for the sky section

    Continue the challenge in the elevated portion of the labyrinth. This layer changes the way the maze is read and connects the puzzle to the wider vertical structure.

    Location: Lomei Labyrinth Island sky section

  4. 04

    Explore the Depths layer

    Descend into the Depths

    Investigate the underground section after working through the surface and sky portions. The Depths form the third major area of the quest's maze.

    Location: Lomei Labyrinth Island Depths section

  5. 05

    Activate the terminals

    Activate the terminals

    Locate and activate the terminals distributed across the labyrinth's areas. The terminals are the central progression devices for solving the puzzle.

    Location: Surface, sky, and Depths sections

    TipRead the researchers' journals when you find them; they provide navigation clues and context.

    Checkpoint
  6. 06

    Complete the quest

    Complete the prophecy challenge

    Finish the connected maze challenge after the terminal objective is complete. Completion awards the unique Evil Spirit Armor.

Mission mechanics

The defining mechanic is vertical continuity. The quest does not simply ask players to solve a maze on one plane; it distributes the exploration across surface, sky, and Depths sections. This makes orientation and route planning important, since a useful path in one layer may lead to progress in another.

Terminal activation provides the quest's clear progression signal. Searching every section is meaningful because the terminals are spread through the multi-layered environment, turning the labyrinth into a sequence of exploration goals rather than a purely open-ended maze.

Researchers' journals support the exploration loop by offering context and clues for navigation. Reading them can help players interpret the labyrinth's purpose and make sense of its layout without relying only on trial and error.

The structure also distinguishes this challenge from the mazes in the previous game. The expanded design uses distinct vertical layers, so players must think about height and underground connections as well as the conventional left-right maze structure.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The surface, sky, and Depths structure gives the maze a broader sense of scale than a single-layer puzzle.
  • Terminal activation creates a clear purpose for exploration and helps distinguish progress from simple wandering.
  • Researchers' journals add contextual clues that support the maze's navigation theme.
  • The Evil Spirit Armor gives the challenge a distinctive completion reward.

Weaknesses

  • The vertical design can make orientation more demanding because the quest spans several connected layers.
  • The labyrinth's size and complexity may require players to revisit their understanding of routes as they move between the surface, sky, and Depths.
  • The supplied material does not identify a precise route, so players seeking a fully turn-by-turn solution may need additional mapping information.

Best uses

  • Approach the quest as a navigation and exploration challenge rather than a conventional combat mission.
  • Use the journals and the relationship between layers to organize the search for terminals.
  • Keep the three sections in mind when a route appears blocked or incomplete.

Quest phases

  1. 1

    Surface exploration

    Starts: Entering the labyrinth's ground-level section.

    The opening phase establishes the maze and begins the search for routes, clues, and terminals.

    • Map your understanding of the surface before assuming the challenge ends there.
    • Look for researchers' journals as you explore.
  2. 2

    Sky exploration

    Starts: Reaching the labyrinth's elevated section.

    The quest expands upward, requiring the player to navigate a distinct sky layer connected to the wider maze.

    • Use the sky section to reassess how the labyrinth's vertical structure fits together.
    • Do not treat an incomplete surface route as proof that the quest is blocked.
  3. 3

    Depths exploration

    Starts: Entering the underground section beneath the labyrinth.

    The Depths provide the third major layer and continue the terminal-based puzzle.

    • Keep track of which parts of the multi-layered challenge have already been investigated.
    • Use journal clues and environmental orientation to maintain a sense of direction.
  4. 4

    Terminal completion

    Starts: Finding and activating the terminals across the labyrinth.

    The quest resolves once the terminal objective and the broader maze challenge are complete.

    • Confirm that the multi-layered challenge is finished before leaving the labyrinth.
    • The completion reward is the Evil Spirit Armor.

Rewards and drops

  • Evil Spirit Armor
    A unique armor reward granted for completing the multi-layered Lomei labyrinth challenge.

Aftermath

Use the reward as the completion marker

Once the multi-layered labyrinth challenge is complete, the quest rewards the unique Evil Spirit Armor. If the reward has not appeared, the terminal objective or another section of the surface, sky, and Depths challenge may still be unfinished.
