  • Three connected stages The route moves from the Surface to the Sky and then to the Depths. Progress is tied to completing the labyrinth structures in that sequence.
  • Terminal activation is central The labyrinths are not cleared simply by reaching their centers. Link must locate and activate terminals inside the structures.
  • The final section is combat-focused The North Lomei Depths Labyrinth ends with a boss battle, making preparation for combat important even though much of the quest is exploration.
  • The completion reward is armor Completing all three sections awards the Evil Spirit Greaves, a special armor piece associated with the quest.

North Lomei Labyrinth Prophecy overview

North Lomei Labyrinth Prophecy is a side quest built around a connected sequence of labyrinth challenges across Hyrule's Surface, Sky, and Depths.

North Lomei Labyrinth Prophecy asks Link to work through three related maze structures rather than a single self-contained dungeon. The sequence begins at the North Lomei Labyrinth on the Surface in the Hebra region, where the player must navigate the structure and activate terminals. The quest then extends upward to the North Lomei Sky Labyrinth before reaching its final section below the surface.

The quest's central mechanic is exploration under pressure: each labyrinth requires the player to find and activate terminals within a large, confusing structure. The Surface section contains the Mayaotaki Shrine, and the Sky section features the Tenbez Shrine, giving the route important points of interest as Link advances through the three layers.

The final stage takes place in the North Lomei Depths Labyrinth. Completing that section requires a boss battle, so the quest shifts from maze navigation to combat before it concludes. Finishing all three sections rewards the Evil Spirit Greaves, a special piece of armor and the main completion reward identified for this quest.

WalkthroughSpoilers

  1. 01

    Begin the Surface section

    Enter the North Lomei Labyrinth on the Surface

    Travel to the Surface labyrinth in the Hebra region and begin exploring its maze-like structure. The quest starts here, so do not treat the Sky or Depths sections as the opening stage even if you reach those layers by other means.

    Location: North Lomei Labyrinth

    TipKeep the labyrinth's three-layer structure in mind from the start; Surface, Sky, and Depths are parts of the same quest route.

  2. 02

    Activate the Surface terminals

    Search the Surface structure for its terminals

    Move through the North Lomei Labyrinth and look for the terminals placed within the structure. Progress depends on activating these terminals, so reaching the maze's interior without interacting with them will not complete the stage.

    Location: North Lomei Labyrinth

    Watch outThe supplied material does not identify the terminals' exact positions, so use the maze layout and exploration tools rather than relying on an unverified route.

    Checkpoint
  3. 03

    Clear the Surface section

    Complete the Surface labyrinth

    Finish the Surface portion by activating the required terminals and clearing the North Lomei Labyrinth challenge. The Mayaotaki Shrine is located in this section and serves as a notable point of interest while navigating the structure.

    Location: North Lomei Labyrinth

    TipIf you are checking your progress, distinguish the Surface stage from the later Sky and Depths stages; the Mayaotaki Shrine belongs to this first section.

    Checkpoint
  4. 04

    Reach the Sky section

    Continue to the North Lomei Sky Labyrinth

    After the Surface stage, proceed to the Sky portion of the quest and enter the North Lomei Sky Labyrinth. This is the second major maze in the sequence, not a separate optional detour from the prophecy challenge.

    Location: North Lomei Sky Labyrinth

    Watch outThe source material does not provide an exact launch point, route, or traversal method between the Surface and Sky structures.

  5. 05

    Clear the Sky section

    Activate the Sky labyrinth terminals

    Explore the North Lomei Sky Labyrinth and activate the terminals within it. The Tenbez Shrine is a named feature of this section, making it a useful landmark when orienting yourself in the Sky maze.

    Location: North Lomei Sky Labyrinth

    TipUse the Tenbez Shrine as a section-specific landmark, but do not confuse it with the Mayaotaki Shrine in the Surface labyrinth.

    Checkpoint
  6. 06

    Reach the final section

    Enter the North Lomei Depths Labyrinth

    Once the Sky portion is complete, continue down to the final stage in the North Lomei Depths Labyrinth. This section completes the three-layer progression and changes the quest's focus from terminal-based maze exploration toward a concluding combat encounter.

    Location: North Lomei Depths Labyrinth

    Watch outExact entry coordinates and the route from the Sky labyrinth are not specified in the supplied sources.

    Checkpoint
  7. 07

    Clear the Depths section and defeat the boss

    Complete the Depths labyrinth and face its boss

    Explore the North Lomei Depths Labyrinth, activate the terminals required for its completion, and engage the boss battle in the Depths. The quest cannot be successfully concluded without winning this encounter.

    Location: North Lomei Depths Labyrinth

    Watch outThe supplied source material confirms the boss battle but does not identify the boss, its attacks, or a verified counter-strategy.

    Checkpoint
  8. 08

    Complete North Lomei Labyrinth Prophecy

    Finish the prophecy challenge and receive the armor reward

    With the Surface, Sky, and Depths sections completed and the Depths boss defeated, the quest reaches its conclusion. Completing all three sections rewards the Evil Spirit Greaves.

    Location: North Lomei Depths Labyrinth

    TipConfirm that all three layers have been cleared before considering the quest finished; the reward is tied to the complete sequence rather than one individual maze.

    Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

North Lomei Labyrinth Prophecy is structured as a vertical progression through Hyrule's three environmental layers. The Surface, Sky, and Depths labyrinths are separate spaces, but the quest treats them as a connected challenge, so progress in one layer leads into the next.

Terminal activation is the shared interaction across the structures. The player must do more than traverse the maze: each stage asks Link to search the labyrinth and activate its terminals before moving on. This makes orientation and systematic exploration more important than simply heading toward the apparent center.

The Depths stage adds a different kind of pressure. After the maze work, the player must win a boss battle to complete the quest, so a successful run requires both environmental navigation and combat preparation.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The quest gives the labyrinth challenge a clear three-layer structure, moving from the Surface to the Sky and then the Depths.
  • Terminal activation provides a concrete objective inside otherwise open-ended maze exploration.
  • The final boss battle gives the quest a combat climax rather than ending immediately after the last navigation section.
  • The Evil Spirit Greaves provide a distinct completion reward for finishing the full sequence.

Weaknesses

  • The three-part route requires sustained navigation across separate layers instead of resolving in one compact location.
  • Maze progress can be difficult to track because the key interactions are terminals distributed within the structures.
  • The quest's final stage combines labyrinth exploration with a boss battle, which can make an otherwise exploratory challenge more demanding.
  • The supplied sources do not provide exact terminal locations or a verified route, so a precise map-based walkthrough is unavailable here.

Best uses

  • Treat the quest as a long-form exploration objective when you want a challenge spanning the Surface, Sky, and Depths.
  • Use the named shrines as orientation landmarks while working through the first two sections.
  • Save combat resources and prepare for the Depths encounter before entering the final stage.

Encounter phasesSpoilers

  1. 1

    Surface maze exploration

    Starts: Entering the North Lomei Labyrinth in the Hebra region.

    The opening phase is a navigation challenge in the Surface labyrinth. Link must search the structure and activate its terminals.

    • Use a deliberate search pattern so previously explored passages are easy to distinguish from unvisited areas.
    • The Mayaotaki Shrine is located in this section and can help identify that you are still in the Surface stage.
  2. 2

    Sky maze exploration

    Starts: Proceeding to the North Lomei Sky Labyrinth after the Surface section.

    The second phase repeats the terminal-focused exploration in the Sky. The Tenbez Shrine is a notable feature of this section.

    • Keep the Sky section separate from the Surface section when tracking which terminals have been activated.
    • Use the Tenbez Shrine as a landmark while orienting yourself.
  3. 3

    Depths maze and boss battle

    Starts: Entering the North Lomei Depths Labyrinth.

    The final phase combines another labyrinth section with a boss battle. Winning the encounter is required to successfully conclude the quest.

    • Treat the Depths as both an exploration phase and a combat phase.
    • The supplied sources do not identify the boss's attack patterns, health, or weaknesses, so those details should be verified before publication.

Boss encounterSpoilers

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

The sources confirm that a boss battle takes place in the Depths and must be won to complete the quest, but they do not identify the boss or provide a verified strategy. Prepare for a combat encounter after completing the Depths maze rather than assuming the quest ends when the terminals are activated.

Rewards

  • Completion of the quest contributes to receiving the Evil Spirit Greaves after all three labyrinth sections are finished.

Completion checklist

  • Reach the North Lomei Labyrinth in the Hebra regionThis is the identified starting area.
  • Search the Surface labyrinthThe Surface stage contains terminals that must be activated.
  • Activate the Surface terminalsDo not leave the first structure without completing its terminal objective.
  • Note the Mayaotaki ShrineThis shrine is located in the Surface section.Optional
  • Reach the North Lomei Sky LabyrinthThe Sky is the second layer of the quest.
  • Activate the Sky terminalsComplete the terminal objective in the Sky structure.
  • Note the Tenbez ShrineThis shrine features in the Sky section.Optional
  • Enter the North Lomei Depths LabyrinthThe Depths is the final layer.
  • Complete the Depths terminal objectiveThe final maze section must be cleared before the quest can conclude.
  • Defeat the Depths bossThe boss battle is required for successful completion.
  • Receive the Evil Spirit GreavesThe armor reward follows completion of all three sections.

Failure conditionsSpoilers

  • Leaving a labyrinth section without activating its required terminalsThe quest requires terminal activation within the structures, so simply entering or traversing a maze is not sufficient to advance.
  • Failing to complete all three labyrinth sectionsThe quest spans the Surface, Sky, and Depths. Stopping after one or two sections does not satisfy the full completion requirement.
  • Losing the Depths boss battleA boss battle occurs in the North Lomei Depths Labyrinth, and the quest cannot be successfully concluded until that encounter is won.

On failure

The supplied sources do not describe save points, reset behavior, ally-loss conditions, or specific penalties for defeat.

Rewards and drops

  • Evil Spirit Greaves
    A special piece of armor awarded for completing all three sections of the North Lomei labyrinth challenge.

AftermathEnding spoilers

The quest ends with a unique armor reward

After the Surface, Sky, and Depths labyrinth sections are completed and the Depths boss battle is won, North Lomei Labyrinth Prophecy rewards the Evil Spirit Greaves. The quest belongs to a broader set of labyrinth challenges found across the game's map.

Trivia

  • The quest is unusual in that its challenge is distributed across the Surface, Sky, and Depths rather than being confined to one layer.
  • The Surface and Sky sections each have a named shrine: Mayaotaki Shrine in the Surface labyrinth and Tenbez Shrine in the Sky labyrinth.
  • North Lomei Labyrinth Prophecy is part of a larger set of labyrinth challenges found throughout the game's map.
  • The quest combines terminal-based exploration with a boss battle in its final Depths section.
