The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Depths is the game’s underground region. Accessible via different Chasms, the locations presents new challenges, as well as opportunities for exploration. Here’s our guide to help you with the Depths and Chasms in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Depths and Chasms guide
The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Depths region can be entered via Chasms in the Surface region. These appear as large crevices on the ground, with red liquid known as Gloom that’s spilling out. When you do see a Chasm, simply jump down and accelerate. However, make sure you glide as you’re about to hit the bottom.
Below, you can see an example of an area with three Chasms as they appear on the Surface map. As for the Depths map itself, you can see it by pressing down on the D-pad. Since the Depths world mirrors the Surface world, it’s almost as large as its counterpart.
Light sources: Lightroots and other items
The first thing you’ll notice when you’re in the Depths is the poor visibility due to sheer darkness. It’s enough to give anyone a fright, and that persistent dread lurking around the corner. Thankfully, there are some ways to shed a light:
Lightroots – By far the most important feature in the region, Lightroots are akin to Skyview Towers. While they certainly won’t launch Link high into the air, they’ll act as fast travel points, as well as reveal sections of the map. Those areas will then have a brighter glow compared to places with untagged Lightroots.
Brightbloom Seeds – When possible, try to bring a lot of Brightbloom Seeds with you. These can be thrown or attached to an arrowhead. Once it hits a solid surface, it creates a decent light source.
Poes – Poes represent the spirits of the dead, somewhat, and they appear as small floating flames. While they won’t give off as much light as other sources, they can act as an indicator of solid surfaces and possible points of interest. Plus, you can collect them so they can be exchanged for rewards from Bargainer Statues.
Gloom debuff and cleansing
One more factor you have to contend with in the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Depths region is Gloom. While the red substance can be seen on the Surface region, it’s quite plentiful in the Depths. Gloom takes effect if you’re standing within the red liquid for a few seconds, or if a Gloom-afflicted enemy hits you with an attack. The debuff locks out one of your hearts, preventing that segment from being healed (technically reducing your maximum HP).
There are a few ways to cleanse Gloom:
Leave the Depths and return to the Surface or Sky regions.
Stand within the center of a Lightroot.
Cook and eat meals that use Sundelion as an ingredient. This is a plant that’s mostly found on floating islands in the Sky region.
Zonai facilities, upgrades, and the Depths quest chain
There are many opportunities to explore and discover new things in the Depths. Here are some tidbits to consider:
This is where you’ll start the quest chain to obtain the Purah Pad Camera and Sensor.
The region has numerous mines and ore deposits where you can farm Zonaite. In turn, you’ll be able to increase your Energy Cell capacity.
This is also where you’ll learn the Autobuild system.
The main quest in the Depths involves following where the statues are pointing at, eventually leading to Zonai facilities. You’ll also have to face a recurring foe. You can learn more in our Master Kohga boss guide.
As fun as it is, there’s something rather…disturbing…about Screamride. A game about racing rollercoaster cars down rails at tremendous speeds and smashing them into concrete skyscrapers isn’t to be taken seriously, of course, and I’m not terribly concerned about the riders, who seem beyond thrilled for the chance to sacrifice their well-being for the chance to fling themselves into solid objects. My worry lies with the pedestrians walking around out there. There are promenades to stroll on among the office buildings and laboratories. What right-minded individual would think to hang out there–or to work there?
Well. This isn’t the kind of thing you’re supposed to be thinking when you play Screamride, which sets itself apart from the developer’s own Rollercoa…
It has always been a dog-eat-dog world out there. But when humanity disappears and animals are left to fend for themselves, the streets of Tokyo become a far more savage place, where former house pets must learn to hunt and kill much larger, more deadly animals to survive. The concept may sound grim, but Tokyo Jungle brings enough humor to its vision of the post-human streets of Shibuya to make the whole scenario pleasantly silly. That humor only goes so far, though; repetitive gameplay and frustrating difficulty issues make Tokyo Jungle an underwhelming glimpse at the future of the animal kingdom.
Picking the best starter in Palworld is a more complicated, but perhaps rewarding, process than it is in other creature-collectors. It’s a game that combines elements of Pokemon, Breath of the Wild, and even survival-crafting games like Minecraft. It’s trying to do a lot all at once, meaning even players familiar with one of those games might be thrown off by the way Palworld subverts expectations using other genres. Here we’ll explain what you can expect when going to pick your starter Pal in Palworld, which, by the way, finally came to PS5 in September of 2024.
