Walkthrough

Find the Bottle

Head to the marked location at the Southwestern edge of Hateno Bay. Getting to the location, you will find a bottle sitting in the shallows of the ocean.

Approach and interact with it to read it. The sender explains what happened to them. To help you aid them, they’ve been feeding a stream of Brightbloom Seeds into a current. They ask that you follow the current to wherever they’re trapped and free them from behind the boulder that trapped them.

Follow the Current

Set off to the South, where you can see items with Brightbloom Seeds floating in the water. There’s an obvious flow of water. Using a flying Zonai Device is a great way to avoid the flow of the current. It will also help you avoid a lot of the enemies in the water.

Following this path will lead you out in an arc. This arc ultimately leads you to a narrow opening leading into a cave. The flow of the current does interfere with just swimming in. Keep this mind and either climb around the entrance or get inside with your Zonai Vehicle.

Rescue Chumin from Mapla Point Cave

Once inside Mapla Point Cave, head to the South.

Following the water, you will find a small opening blocked by a boulder. Use Ultrahand to grab and move the boulder out of the way.

• If you use Ascend in the middle of the first chamber, you can get into the Upper Chamber where the Bubbulfrog is.

Inside this second, smaller, chamber, you can find Chumin. He’s sitting along the Southeastern edge of the pool of water. He’s just next to a burned out camp fire. Just approach and talk with him.

• There are a number Ore Deposits that can be smashed around the edges of all 3 chambers.

Rewards

• Silver Rupee (100 Rupees)
• Chumin as a Fish Monger in Lurelin Village once its liberated.
