How to Complete
When you first arrive in Faron Wetlands after starting “Lands of the Goddesses” main quest, you’ll need to go east until you find Scrubton. There’s a large door at the north of the village that leads to the giant rift. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to pass until you have a Membership Card.
If you headsoutheast from Scubton, you’ll find a group of Deku Scrubs near a smaller rift. The Deku Scrub with the rafflesia has a Membership Card, but you’ll need to clear up the rift before you can get it. Do this, and you’ll be thrown into the Scrubton jail by the other Deku Scrubs.
During this part of the story quest, you’ll need to be stealthy andretrieve the Tri Rodto get all of your equipment back. There’s a well in the Scrubton jail that takes you outside, where you’ll find the rafflesia Deku Scrub, who gives you the Membership Card as thanks.
Return to the giant door to enter the Sweet Spot, where the rift awaits. Like previous regions with giant rifts, you’ll need toclear the Stilled World and defeat the bossto restore things to normal. Doing this will mark “A Rift in the Faron Wetlands” as complete in your Adventure Log, and you’ll receive Farore’s Sanction.
Things to Do During “A Rift in the Faron Wetlands”
Recommended Echoes
Before you start mending the rifts - especially the one near the rafflesia Deku Scrub - you should start learning some Echoes in the wetlands. Most monsters in the Faron Wetlands specialize in electricity, giving Zelda a nasty shock if they come in contact with her.
You should explore Faron Wetlands to pick up Heart Pieces and Might Crystals. Some of the caves have a Heart Piece, and Might Crystals are hidden in the large grass or behind spider webs that you can burn with an Ignizol or other fire Echo. It’s not a bad idea to upgrade your Swordfighter Mode’s bow, energy, or sword. If you have them, you can upgrade your bombs to level 2 to unlock the Bombchus.
If you’re having trouble finding Might Crystals, you should consider getting the Might Bell from “The Great Fairy’s Request” at Lake Hylia.
You can also leave the Faron Wetlands to pick up Echoes on Holy Mount Lanayru or Eldin Volcano. Both regions have monsters that use ice and fire power respectively, the former of which is ideal for the Stilled Faron Wetlands. There are several rooms in the Faron Temple that will require you to light torches, so you should consider getting the Fire Keese Echo or the Fire Wizzrobe.
