Description[edit]

An ancient heirloom has been stolen from Impa's House.

Walkthrough[edit]

  • Go inside Impa's House. Talk with Paya. She will explain that the Shiekah Heirloom has been stolen out of their house.
  • Link will be asked to spend the day with Paya by Impa. Do so to learn a little more about what has happened.
  • Head outside Impa's House, use either the nearby camp fire in front of the Goddess Statue or the Cooking Pot at the nearby location.
  • Wait until night time. Between 10pm and 11pm, one of the Guards in front of Impa's House will have moved.
  • Go up the slope past Ta'loh Naeg Shrine. Continue upwards after that, past the road to the Great Fairy Fountain.
  • You will find Dorian on his way up the slope after 11. Start sneaking and follow him up and toward the forest nearby the fairy fountain.
  • Keep your distance to avoid being spotted by Dorian.
  • Dorian will head up the path to the right of the way to the Great Fairy Fountain.
  • Dorian will head across the nearby bridge and come to a Shiekah Reciprocal. Once he is across, cross yourself and stay out of sight.
  • Wait for the conversation between Dorian and the Yiga Blademaster.
  • You will now need to face-off and defeat the Yiga Blademaster with their Windcleaver.
  • Taking on the Blademaster can be tricky. Like many of the Yiga, they will teleport around before performing a ranged attack from their blade if not moving in to attack with the blade itself.
  • Defeating the Blademaster will give you the Shiekah Heirloom.
  • Place the Shiekah Sphere in its reciprocal to reveal the Lakna Rokee Shrine

Dialogue[edit]

Paya: Link... I swear I only took my eyes off it for a second! What should I... What should I do?

Link: What's wrong?

Paya:

Link: Keep your chin up.

Paya: Keep my chin up? Do you realize how bad this is?! The Shiekah heirloom... The heirloom has been stolen! And just when I had finally discovered the heirloom's secret.

Impa: "The hero, as chosen by the Shiekah heirloom, will be gifted the blessing of antiquity." Paya thinks "The hero, as chosen by the Shiekah heirloom" is you, so she stayed up all night researching the heirloom. She came to the conclusion that "the blessing of antiquity" refers to one of those ancient shrines. And that heirloom is the key that opens the shrine. And just before we were able to tell you this, the thing is stolen!

Paya: I had been cleaning the heirloom regularly every day from morning to dusk. Someone must of stolen it during the deepest hour of the night. This place is off-limits to outsiders... And no one from the village would do such a thing! Would they?

Paya: Someone with evil intent came into this scared place. I'm glad Grandmother is safe, but I still feel so...violated.

Paya: Link... Paya is afraid that the thief may still be nearby. Would you please stay by her side today?

Paya: Master Link... Thank you for staying by my side for the whole day. I see now that crying and feeling scared won't help us get the heirloom back. I checked with Dorian and Cado, but they said they didn't see anyone other than villagers around. I'll try again to remember all I can about the night the heirloom was stolen, but the thief may still be hiding nearby. I have a bad feeling. If you spot any suspicious movement at night, don't approach...

Dorian: I know you're there! Show yourself!

Yiga Blademaster: You don't have to shout. I'm right here.

Dorian: So you're the ones who stole the heirloom!

Yiga Blademaster: Heh... Such anger. It seems this thing is truly special to the fools of this village.

Dorian: Why would you steal it?

Yiga Blademaster: Don't play dumb Dorian. You knew what you were getting yourself into when you decided to leave the organization. You forfeited your lift the moment you left.

Dorian: Hnng...

Yiga Blademaster: You did well to tell us about the heirloom. Unfortunately, your usefulness has come to an end, as must you. But first ... it appears we have an audience!

Dorian: I can't believe I was followed. I'm sure you've figured it out, but all of this is my fault... There's no point in trying to hide it. I am... a member of the Yiga Clan. Or I used to be, anyway. But then I met the most incredible woman who blessed me with two amazing children. And so I tried to change my ways. Tried to leave the clan. But the Yiga... They took my wife's life as punishment. I couldn't let them hurt my children, so I used my position as gatekeeper to gather information for the Yiga. I told them about you and about the village in exchange for safety. But my grief over losing my wife consumed me, and I finally decided to cut ties to the Yiga completely. I decided I could protect my children from the Yiga. I wasn't afraid of them. But the Yiga are pure evil. They told me they would kill both Impa and Paya if I didn't play along. Paya figured out that this heirloom is the key to opening an ancient shrine. We weren't able to make it work, but Paya thinks that maybe you can. Paya... and all of us are devoted to helping you in your quest. Now, please restore their heirloom to its pedestal.

Dorian: The shrine! So the heirloom WAS the key to opening the shrine. Incredible... Master Link, I... I'm very sorry for all of this. I know it's a selfish request, but do you think you could keep what really happened a secret? I truly don't deserve mercy, but I don't want my children, Koko and Cottla, to suffer anymore. I know it doesn't make up for what I've done, but I pledge to protect the village and my family from now on. No matter the cost.
