North Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy

Key takeaways

The quest is primarily a navigation and traversal challenge, with its conclusion reserved for the Depths.

• Three layers, one challenge Progress is divided between the Surface Labyrinth, the Sky Labyrinth, and the Depths Labyrinth. Reaching only one shrine does not complete the full challenge.
• Use the maze's route marker Pinecones placed by a Zonai Research team can be followed as a navigational trail through the surface maze.
• Shortcuts are part of the solution Ascend can bypass suitable sections of the maze, and fire combined with pinecones can create updrafts for vertical movement.
• The finale is in the Depths The last stage requires a boss victory rather than a simple navigation objective, so the final approach should include combat preparation.
• The reward is armor-related Completing all three linked sections awards a piece of the Evil Spirit armor set.

North Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy

North Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy is a multi-layer optional challenge centered on the North Lomei Labyrinth in the Hebra region.

The North Lomei Labyrinth is a massive three-part structure in the North Tabantha Snowfield. Its challenge is not confined to a single maze: the route continues through the Surface Labyrinth, the Sky Labyrinth, and the Depths Labyrinth, with each layer forming part of the same larger trial.

The surface portion is a conventional maze in which the player must find a way through the labyrinth while managing limited visibility and the structure's confusing walls. A trail of pinecones left by a Zonai Research team provides a practical route aid, while abilities such as Ascend can create shortcuts when the surrounding geometry allows it.

The sky section changes the character of the challenge by moving the exploration above the surface structure. The Tenbez Shrine is located in this layer, while the Mayaotaki Shrine is found in the surface section. Completing the linked labyrinth stages eventually leads to a boss encounter in the Depths and the quest's ultimate reward.

The final reward is one piece of the Evil Spirit armor set. Because the challenge is spread across three connected environments, it is best approached as an expedition rather than as a single shrine puzzle: prepare for traversal, keep track of the current layer, and treat each completed stage as progress toward the final Depths encounter.

Where this sits

Requirements

The quest is most manageable when approached with access to all three layers and a flexible traversal setup.

• RequiredAccess to the North Lomei LabyrinthThe structure is located in the North Tabantha Snowfield in the Hebra region.
• RequiredAbility to navigate the surface mazeThe pinecone trail is the intended route aid, but the player can also use traversal abilities to bypass parts of the maze.
• RequiredAccess to the sky and Depths layersThe full reward requires progress through the Surface Labyrinth, Sky Labyrinth, and Depths Labyrinth rather than stopping after the first section.
• RecommendedAscendAscend is useful for passing through suitable maze ceilings and reducing backtracking.
• RecommendedFire source and pineconesLighting pinecones can create updrafts that help with vertical movement around the maze.
• RecommendedCombat preparationThe final Depths stage includes a boss, so healing and a dependable combat loadout are advisable.

WalkthroughSpoilers

1. 01

   Reach the surface entrance

   Travel to the North Lomei Labyrinth

   Go to the North Tabantha Snowfield in the Hebra region and locate the large North Lomei Labyrinth structure. The quest's route begins at the surface complex, so confirm that you are entering the correct North Lomei site before committing to the maze.

   Location: North Tabantha Snowfield

   TipMark the labyrinth on the map before entering so the structure remains easy to relocate if you leave to prepare.

2. 02

   Begin navigating the maze

   Read the surface maze before rushing forward

   The Surface Labyrinth is built to make nearby corridors look interchangeable, so pause at junctions and identify the path marker before moving deeper. The layout rewards careful observation more than combat, and unnecessary detours make it harder to tell which corridors have already been checked.

   Location: Surface Labyrinth

   Watch outDo not assume that reaching an interior wall means you are near the objective; the maze's turns and dead ends can make short-looking routes misleading.

3. 03

   Use the pinecone trail to find the route

   Follow the Zonai Research team's pinecones

   Look for the trail of pinecones left by the Zonai Research team and use it as the primary route through the surface maze. Follow the markers from one section to the next instead of treating every corridor as an unrelated puzzle.

   Location: Surface Labyrinth

   TipIf you lose the trail, return to the last marker you clearly identified rather than continuing into unmarked corridors.

4. 04

   Reach the surface objective efficiently

   Use traversal shortcuts when the geometry permits

   Ascend can bypass portions of the maze when a usable ceiling is directly above Link, allowing a vertical route instead of another series of turns. Fire and pinecones can also create updrafts, which provide an alternative way to gain height and move around sections of the structure.

   Location: Surface Labyrinth

   Watch outShortcuts are situational; if the ceiling or vertical space is unsuitable, forcing an ability solution can leave you farther from the route than simply following the markers.

5. 05

   Find Mayaotaki Shrine

   Locate Mayaotaki Shrine

   The surface section contains Mayaotaki Shrine, making it a useful confirmation that you have reached the intended surface objective. Activate or complete the shrine as appropriate, then use the surrounding structure and available route onward rather than assuming the shrine alone completes the full quest.

   Location: Surface Labyrinth

   Checkpoint
6. 06

   Enter the sky section

   Continue upward to the Sky Labyrinth

   The challenge continues above the surface structure, so transition from the ground maze to the Sky Labyrinth once the surface portion is complete. Aerial movement changes the navigation problem: plan landings and vertical approaches instead of searching only for ground-level openings.

   Location: Sky Labyrinth

   TipKeep the surface labyrinth's position in mind; the sky structure is directly tied to the same North Lomei challenge, even though the route and movement feel different.

7. 07

   Locate Tenbez Shrine

   Explore the sky section and find Tenbez Shrine

   Navigate the Sky Labyrinth until you reach Tenbez Shrine, the shrine associated with this upper section. Treat the shrine as a progress landmark within the larger challenge, because the Depths portion still remains after the sky objective.

   Location: Sky Labyrinth

   Checkpoint
8. 08

   Reach the final layer

   Descend to the Depths Labyrinth

   After the surface and sky sections are handled, follow the quest's progression beneath the labyrinth into the Depths. The environment and objective change here, so prepare for a combat encounter rather than carrying only a traversal-focused setup.

   Location: Depths Labyrinth

   Watch outThe Depths stage is the point of no longer treating the quest as maze navigation alone; make sure your healing and combat options are ready before starting the finale.

9. 09

   Clear the boss encounter

   Defeat the Depths boss

   The final stage requires defeating a boss in the Depths. Focus on surviving the encounter and use the available arena space carefully; the quest cannot be completed by reaching the Depths alone.

   Location: Depths Labyrinth

   Watch outA defeat ends the active attempt and requires another combat attempt, so avoid beginning the fight with an inadequate healing supply.

10. 10

    Collect the reward

    Claim the Evil Spirit armor reward

    Once the final Depths challenge is cleared, collect the quest's ultimate reward. Completing all three linked labyrinth sections is what makes the Evil Spirit armor piece available, rather than completing either shrine in isolation.

    Location: Depths Labyrinth

    Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

North Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy is structured around vertical progression. The Surface Labyrinth, Sky Labyrinth, and Depths Labyrinth are separate spaces, but they function as one connected challenge, so navigation progress in one layer is part of a larger route rather than a standalone activity.

The surface maze supports both deliberate exploration and ability-based problem solving. The pinecone trail offers a low-risk navigation method, while Ascend can turn a maze wall or ceiling into a shortcut when the surrounding geometry supports it. Burning pinecones to generate updrafts adds another traversal option and can help the player gain height around the structure.

The two shrines serve as strong orientation points: Mayaotaki Shrine belongs to the surface section and Tenbez Shrine belongs to the sky section. Their presence helps divide the expedition into recognizable stages, but neither shrine represents the complete quest reward by itself.

The final layer tests a different skill set. Once the player reaches the Depths Labyrinth, the objective becomes a boss battle, making healing, positioning, and combat readiness more important than route memorization. The reward is granted after the complete three-layer challenge is cleared.

What works and what does not

Encounter phasesSpoilers

1. 1

   Surface navigation

   Starts: Entering the North Lomei Labyrinth at the surface

   The first phase is a maze-navigation challenge centered on finding a route through the surface structure.

   • Use the Zonai Research team's pinecone trail as the default route.
   • Check whether Ascend can bypass a section before spending time on a long detour.
2. 2

   Sky navigation

   Starts: Completing the surface portion and moving to the aerial structure

   The second phase shifts the challenge into the Sky Labyrinth and leads to Tenbez Shrine.

   • Plan movement around aerial gaps and landing points.
   • Use Tenbez Shrine as confirmation that the sky portion has been reached.
3. 3

   Depths finale

   Starts: Entering the final layer beneath North Lomei Labyrinth

   The last phase replaces maze progress with a boss encounter in the Depths.

   • Restore health and prepare a reliable combat loadout before initiating the final fight.
   • Use the arena space to avoid committing to unsafe attacks.

Depths boss encounterSpoilers

• Location
  Depths Labyrinth
• Health
  Not specified in the supplied source material

The final stage requires a boss victory, so enter with healing and a combat-ready setup. Prioritize safe positioning, observe the boss's attack tells, and avoid treating the encounter as another navigation puzzle; reaching the arena is not enough to complete the quest.

AftermathSpoilers

Trivia

• North Lomei Labyrinth is unusual because its challenge is distributed across surface, sky, and Depths versions of the same location.
• The surface route can be read through environmental markers rather than requiring the player to memorize every maze turn.
• The quest combines two shrine landmarks with a final boss encounter, giving the expedition distinct exploration and combat endpoints.
