The entrance of YunoboCo HQ South Cave

Approach the entrance in the open expanses at the base of Death Mountain and its Western plains. Just head inside, the area isn’t sealed with the corrupted rock. Just expect a Swarm of Keese to rush out.

Inside the cave, you will be seeing a growth of Brightbloom Seeds along the base of the walls. Go down the slope to the first chamber. Clinging to the ceiling is a Horriblin, so be on guard to spot it and defeat it. A Silver Horriblin clings to the Ceiling to the West.

Looking to the West, you can see a Misko Shrine with unique Clothing inside it, but a lot of lava between you and it. There is a little yet to do before you should turn your attention that way. Look to the Northern part of the cave, where you can see a bit of a downslope. This rock is breakable. Break through it with a Smashing Weapon.

Inside this small alcove, you will find a partially constructed Zonai Vehicle. There are only a few missing pieces and they’re scattered about the room. Look to the back of the chamber to the right of the vehicle to find 1 of the 2 missing wheels. Grab it and connect it to the stone slab of the main body with Ultrahand.

The main body of a Zonai Vehicle and the 2 needed wheels circled.

Now, look to the right-hand wall and search along it toward the ceiling. You will find another Large Zonai Wheel wedged up there. Use Ultrahand to yank it out and connect it to the Zonai Vehicle. There is also a fan to the left of the vehicle, but that isn’t necessary for any part of the vehicle (unless you want to use it as a boat).

  • Make sure the Arrows are pointing toward the Front of the vehicle!

Assemble the vehicle and pull it out of the alcove. You can now use it to easily get across the Lava. But there is another way ...


Treasures:

With the rest of the cave seen to, it’s time to work on getting across the lava. You will want a modest supply of either Splash Fruit or Ice Fruit to create a stone bring across. Alternatively, you can smash through the breakable rocks tot he North to find a small alcove with a Zonai Vehicle that you can easily assemble, as described above.

Once on the far side, you will be the Misko Shrine. Around it you can find Giant Brightbloom Seeds scattered nearby the walls. Additionally you can smash and collect Luminous Stones by smashing the glowing geodes around Misko's Shrine. Searching the rest of the platform, you can find other Geodes to smash with other gems.

When you do get Misko's shrine itself, just go straight for the chest. Open it up to claim the Ember Headdress.
