Players are able to find the South Lomei Labyrinth on the eastern edge of the Gerudo Desert around the coordinates -1794, -3333, 0072.

As players approach the labyrinth, they'll spot a small research camp set up near a stone tablet written in the Zonai language. The words of the tablet have been translated and transcribed into a notebook on the table describing a reward for anyone that can overcome the challenges of the labyrinth.

Players reading the notebook will also learn that a researcher who had previously visited the labyrinth has left a trail of acorns and nuts to mark their path.

There is also a Korok-Frond Guster underneath the tent that players can use to clear away piles of sand within the labyrinth, some of which may be hiding weapons and other treasures.

Players can create their own gusting weapon by using the Fuse ability to combine any weapons with a Korok Frond or any other large, flat object such as a tile or board.

The researcher's trail follows the highlighted path on the map above and is far from the most direct route. Players are able to venture off the beaten path to locate hidden chests or even jump further along the trail of nuts and acorns. However, they'll need to prepare for Gerudo's extreme weather conditions, as Link may experience both sweltering heat and freezing cold as he explores the labyrinth.

Players will also come across a great deal of Gloom covering their path in the South Lomei Labyrinth. They could find creative ways to cross it without taking Gloom Damage, or simply run through it if they have enough health as the Gloom Damage will dissipate over time while on the surface.

On the floating island, players are able to find pre-assembled flying machines and Zonai devices to make their own. If players don't have many Energy Cells, they should pack a handful of Zonai Charges to get through the trip.

The ruler of boars will instruct Link to find and activate an additional four terminals within the walls of the South Lomei Castle Top Floor, and the door to the maze will open.

Although the labyrinth has no floor, the low gravity and strong updraft will keep Link afloat as he navigates its corridors. There are several platforms that players can use to rest and recharge their stamina if needed.

A few walls will block players' progress through the passageways, but they are able to drop their paraglider and pass underneath. Reopening the paraglider afterward will lift Link back into the air, so as long as he doesn't pass below the bottom edge of the labyrinth, players should be fine.

As an alternative to gliding through the maze, players may use Ascend or use Zonai devices to reach the roof of the South Lomei Castle Top Floor. From there, they'll simply need to make their way to the end locations on the map above and then drop down to the terminals below.

If players manage to activate all four terminals, a final Zonai terminal will appear at the top of the structure and the gusts of wind will intensify. Players can use their paraglider to ride these winds all the way up to the top.

While on the roof, players should also be sure to grab the Big Battery Zonai Device from the chest in the middle.

When players activate the terminal, the voice will instruct Link to test his courage and venture to the labyrinth directly below in The Depths.

Players should jump from the given platform and dive straight down.

As communicated by the mysterious voice, the door covering the chasm in the South Lomei Labyrinth has now been opened, and players are able to dive all the way from the top of the South Lomei Castle Top Floor into the South Lomei Depths Labyrinth.

Players can then follow the path to the floor below where they must fight a Flux Construct III that's waiting in the center of the room.

As "The South Lomei Prophecy" is marked complete, players are able to explore the rest of the underground labyrinth to find hidden treasures such as Poes and Zonai weapons.

The Evil Spirit Mask is one of three pieces that make up the Evil Spirit Armor Set, which is based on Phantom Ganon's appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. On its own, it provides one level to Link's overall stealth. When it's paired with the rest of the set though, Link gains a disguise that works against most Stal enemies as well as proficiency with bone weapons.
