Echoes of Wisdom Adventure Log, Entry 14 ~ 100%

The Legend of Zelda is the only game series where I tend to complete every new game, even it takes a year. Luckily, in case of Echoes of Wisdom it's only been two weeks, where I generally prefer such more compact experiences for their replayability.

In order to complete the game, I still had to find four more Pieces of Heart, four echoes, one stamp, three accessories, and 16 Might Crystals. So, let's see what I was missing and where my brain was failing, because that's part of the fun. Spoilers ahead for locations of echoes and other things, so you may want to complete the game first yourself before reading this!

Echoes of Wisdom Adventure Log, Entry 13 ~ Finale

Honestly, I was expecting the Eternal Forest to be another step in the adventure, before you venture into the grand finale... somewhere else. And it can be seen that way, but also not, so most of the post will go into one big spoiler box out of precaution. Final dungeon and boss spoilers ahead, so you've been warned!

Echoes of Wisdom Adventure Log, Entry 12 ~ Smoothies

Before heading into the Eternal Forest, I spent some time becoming Hyrule's biggest and most famous smoothie connoisseur. This will just be a very small entry, similar to the one for the Automatons, but I wanted to keep this separate from what comes next...

Echoes of Wisdom Adventure Log, Entry 11 ~ Eldin Volcano

One larger rift remained at Eldin Volcano and this brought me back to the Gorons, where I had explored most of the mountain earlier in the game, before parts of it got swallowed up. As you can see with the starting screenshot of this post, you don't get the intro sequence for these goddess areas until you have official business there. Even though I had explored the volcano before, it only now gave me its overview video. The same thing happened at Hebra and Faron, but I thought it was worth mentioning before we move on.

Echoes of Wisdom Adventure Log, Entry 10 ~ Automatons

Better late than never... In this entry we'll pay Dampé a visit and explore the topic of Automatons. This feature unlocks after the game's mid point at Hyrule Castle, but I hadn't made use of it right away, because I thought that I was still missing a monster...

Echoes of Wisdom Adventure Log, Entry 9 ~ Faron Wetlands

It was time to pay the Deku another visit and explore the Faron Wetlands for what's probably the best dungeon in the game... The music, the humor, and everything was top-notch during the quest, where this is on par with my favorite area so far, the Gerudo Desert.

Echoes of Wisdom Adventure Log, Entry 8 ~ Hebra Mountain

Three large rifts have appeared over the goddess regions in Hyrule and the player can go for them in any order. I picked Mount Lanayru first, because the neighboring Hebra Mountain is the only area I hadn't fully explored yet and where Nintendo has shown almost nothing in advance... So, it was the most intriguing choice for me.
