South Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy

Key takeaways

Keep the three-level structure in mind before entering the Depths. This is the final stage of a connected challenge, not a separate maze with an unrelated reward.

• Complete the earlier labyrinth stages The Depths section follows the Surface and Sky portions of the South Lomei challenge. The earlier stages establish the route to the final area and use terminal activation as the central progression mechanic.
• Treat terminals as the primary objectives Exploration becomes much easier when each terminal is treated as a navigation target rather than when the maze is approached as a search for the exit. Check side passages and vertical routes before committing to a shortcut.
• Use traversal tools deliberately Climbing and Zonai devices can bypass difficult sections of the maze. They are useful for recovery and route correction, but they can also carry Link away from the next objective if used without checking the surrounding layout.
• Prepare for a final fight The Depths conclusion typically culminates in a boss encounter after the terminal sequence. Bring suitable weapons, healing, and a traversal plan so the reward sequence is not delayed by an avoidable defeat.

South Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy overviewSpoilers

South Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy is the Depths conclusion to the three-level South Lomei Labyrinth challenge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The South Lomei Labyrinth is a large maze in the Gerudo region of Hyrule, and its challenge is divided between the Surface, Sky, and Depths. The Depths portion is not an isolated puzzle: it is the final destination reached after Link explores the surface maze and then the sky labyrinth, activating terminals that open the way through the interconnected challenge. This structure makes the quest a long-form exploration test rather than a single-room shrine puzzle.

The main task in South Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy is to explore the Depths labyrinth and activate its terminals. The maze can be approached methodically by following accessible passages, or shortened with tools that let Link climb walls and bypass difficult sections. Zonai devices can also help with traversal, but careful route reading remains important because a shortcut can move Link past useful paths or leave him searching for the next terminal.

The final portion typically ends with a boss encounter after the terminal objective is complete. Completing all three parts of the South Lomei Labyrinth questline awards a piece of the Evil Spirit Armor set, making the Depths stage both the culmination of the puzzle sequence and the point at which the associated armor reward is secured. The Motsusis Shrine belongs to the Surface Labyrinth, while the Siyamotsus Shrine belongs to the sky section, so neither shrine replaces the final Depths objective.

Where this sits

Requirements and preparation

Reach the Depths stage through the connected South Lomei challenge, then prepare for extended maze traversal and a concluding boss encounter.

• RequiredAccess to the South Lomei Labyrinth challengeThe Depths section is reached through the broader South Lomei Labyrinth sequence. Progress through the Surface and Sky portions before treating this as a standalone objective.
• RecommendedReliable healingThe final section combines exploration with combat, so carry enough healing to recover from falls, environmental damage, or mistakes during the boss encounter.
• RecommendedA way to manage vertical traversalClimbing is one route through difficult maze sections, and Zonai devices can provide alternative movement. Either approach can reduce backtracking when a passage is hard to reach.
• RecommendedCombat-ready equipmentThe final Depths portion typically culminates in a boss fight. Strong weapons and a supply of useful combat materials make the encounter less disruptive after the puzzle work is complete.
• OptionalA method for recording explored routesThe maze has multiple passages and vertical opportunities. Marking visited areas or keeping track of activated terminals helps prevent repeated searches through the same corridors.

ObjectivesSpoilers

1. Enter and explore South Lomei Labyrinth DepthsNavigate the final underground maze and identify its accessible routes instead of assuming the most direct-looking corridor leads to the next objective.
2. Activate the terminals in the Depths labyrinthThe terminals are the progression triggers for this stage. Search through side routes and vertical spaces when the next terminal is not visible from the current passage.
3. Reach the final encounterOnce the terminal sequence has advanced the challenge, continue to the area where the concluding boss encounter is initiated.
4. Defeat the bossWin the final combat encounter to complete the Depths portion and secure the associated reward.
5. Claim the labyrinth rewardFinish the complete Surface, Sky, and Depths challenge to receive a piece of the Evil Spirit Armor set.

WalkthroughSpoilers

1. 01

   Reach the final stage of the labyrinth challenge

   Confirm that the Depths stage is available

   South Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy is the final part of the connected Surface, Sky, and Depths challenge. If the route into the Depths is not available, return to the earlier labyrinth stages and complete their terminal objectives first.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth

   TipTreat the three areas as one progression route rather than three unrelated activities.

2. 02

   Begin the Depths exploration

   Enter South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   Move into the underground labyrinth and pause before rushing forward. The Depths maze combines enclosed corridors with vertical opportunities, so identifying climbable surfaces and possible device routes early can prevent unnecessary backtracking.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   Watch outA shortcut can move Link beyond the route that leads naturally to the next terminal; check the surrounding area before committing to a long traversal.

3. 03

   Find the first terminal route

   Map the first accessible passages

   Explore the opening section systematically and note dead ends, walls that can be climbed, and spaces that can be crossed with a Zonai device. The goal is not merely to find an exit but to locate the terminals that advance the challenge.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   TipMark or remember completed branches so the same corridors are not searched repeatedly.

4. 04

   Reach otherwise difficult sections

   Use height to bypass difficult corridors

   When a ground-level passage loops back or appears blocked, look upward for a climbable wall or an opening above the maze. Climbing can turn a long detour into a direct approach, while a Zonai device can help cross a gap when the route is too high or exposed.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   Watch outManage stamina and landing position during climbs; falling can return Link to a lower section and force another traversal.

5. 05

   Advance the terminal sequence

   Activate each terminal you locate

   Interact with every terminal encountered in the Depths section before moving on. Terminal activation is the progression mechanic for the labyrinth, so an apparently complete route may remain locked until the relevant device has been used.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   TipIf progression seems stalled, revisit branches near the last activated terminal and search above the corridor level.

6. 06

   Follow the opened route

   Recheck the maze after the terminal sequence advances

   After activating the available terminals, inspect the newly opened or newly relevant route rather than returning immediately to the entrance. The next section may be reached through a side passage, an upper route, or a climb that was previously easy to overlook.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   Checkpoint
7. 07

   Enter the boss encounter ready

   Prepare before starting the final encounter

   Use the final approach as a preparation point: restore health, equip dependable weapons, and arrange any materials or abilities needed for a sustained fight. Once the boss encounter begins, exploration shortcuts are no longer the main solution.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   Watch outDo not spend all healing or durable combat equipment on minor encounters if the final fight has not yet been completed.

8. 08

   Complete the final combat encounter

   Defeat the Depths boss

   Engage the boss in the final arena and prioritize survival over hurried damage. Watch its attack tells, create space when necessary, and use the arena’s available movement options to avoid being trapped against walls or in hazardous positions.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   Checkpoint
9. 09

   Secure the armor reward

   Collect the reward and finish the prophecy

   After the boss is defeated, complete the reward sequence associated with the labyrinth. The full Surface, Sky, and Depths challenge awards a piece of the Evil Spirit Armor set, marking the end of this long-form exploration questline.

   Location: South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   Watch outConfirm that the reward has been collected before leaving the area or moving on to another activity.

Mission mechanics

South Lomei Labyrinth Deep Prophecy uses terminal activation to turn maze exploration into measurable progress. The labyrinth is deliberately more than a straight corridor: when the next objective is not obvious, the intended solution may be a side route, a climb, or a change in elevation rather than a longer walk along the floor.

Traversal flexibility is central to the challenge. Link can climb walls to bypass sections of the maze, and Zonai devices provide another way to cross gaps or approach elevated routes. These methods are especially valuable when a conventional path creates repeated loops, but they should be used with route awareness because bypassing a section can make the next terminal harder to locate.

The quest also changes the rhythm of play near its conclusion. Earlier progress is primarily about finding terminals and understanding the layout; the final stage typically shifts into a boss encounter. Healing and equipment management therefore matter even when the immediate objective appears to be purely navigational.

What works and what does not

Encounter phasesSpoilers

1. 1

   Maze approach

   Starts: Entering South Lomei Labyrinth Depths

   The opening phase is primarily navigation. Link searches the underground maze for routes and terminals while managing vertical movement and possible shortcuts.

   • Mark explored branches and inspect upper routes when a corridor appears to loop.
   • Keep healing and combat resources available for the encounter at the end.
2. 2

   Terminal progression

   Starts: Activating the Depths terminals

   Each terminal advances the challenge and directs the player toward the final section. The exact path can vary depending on whether Link climbs or uses Zonai devices to bypass maze geometry.

   • If the route does not appear to advance, search around the last terminal for a side or elevated passage.
   • Do not assume reaching a large open space means every terminal objective is complete.
3. 3

   Final boss encounter

   Starts: Completing the terminal sequence and entering the final arena

   The concluding phase replaces maze-solving with combat. Defeat the boss to complete the Depths portion and proceed to the reward.

   • Boss attack patternsTell Watch the boss animation and positioning before committing to an attack.Answer Create distance, wait for an opening, and use the arena to avoid being cornered.
   • Prioritize safe positioning over rushing damage.
   • If the fight goes badly, review healing and equipment preparation before repeating the approach.

Boss encounterSpoilers

  Final arena in South Lomei Labyrinth Depths
• Health
  Not stated in the supplied source material

The final Depths section typically culminates in a boss encounter after the terminal objectives are completed. Enter with healing and combat-ready equipment, observe the boss’s attack tells, maintain room to maneuver, and punish openings rather than attacking continuously. Because the arena follows a long navigation challenge, conserving resources before the encounter is as important as learning the boss’s pattern.

Checklist

• Complete the Surface and Sky portions of the South Lomei challengeThe Depths stage is the final part of the connected three-level route.
• Enter South Lomei Labyrinth DepthsBegin the underground portion of the prophecy.
• Locate and activate the Depths terminalsTerminal activation is the core progression mechanic.
• Record explored branches and shortcutsThis reduces repeated searches through the maze.Optional
• Use climbing or Zonai devices where they shorten the routeTraversal alternatives can bypass difficult sections.Optional
• Prepare healing and combat equipment before the final arenaThe Depths section typically ends with a boss encounter.
• Defeat the final bossThis completes the combat portion of the Depths stage.
• Collect the Evil Spirit Armor rewardThe complete labyrinth questline awards a piece of the set.

Failure conditionsSpoilers

• Link is defeated during the final boss encounterThe combat section must be attempted again from the applicable checkpoint or approach, so preserve healing and equipment before entering the arena.
• A traversal attempt failsA missed climb, fall, or poorly placed Zonai device can return Link to a lower part of the maze. Recover by reorienting from the last known terminal rather than assuming the route has reset.
• Progress appears blocked because a terminal was missedThe labyrinth’s progression depends on activating terminals. Revisit nearby branches and upper routes when the next path does not become apparent.
