Where to find Robbie in the Depths
Depths Entrance Location
- coordinates -0785, -0433, -0469
Once you begin the “Camera Work” quest, Robbie is going to be at the Layusus Lightroot in the Depths at coordinates coordinates -0785, -0433, -0469. However, you’ll first need to head to Central Hyrule Chasm at. You’ll find Daval and Bahni, but they don’t tell you anything vital. Just don’t step on the gloom! Next, you’ll need to do the following steps:
- Drop into the chasm, gliding when you’re near the bottom
- Talk to Ponnick, who is wondering how far Robbie went. He’s also looking in the direction he saw Robbie go
- Ponnick will give you vital clues and Brightbloom seeds, and tell you how to throw and shoot the seeds.
Next, you’ll want to head south toward the glowing thing, which is a Nisoij Lightroot. Examine the Nisoij Lightroot and it will illuminate and map the surrounding area. Look to the west, and you should see a glowing root in the distance, so head towards that, remembering not to tread in the gloom.

There are also quite a few enemies between you and the glowing root, but you can sneak past most of them if you prefer. They aren’t particularly tough, but if they hit you, they will inflict gloom damage, which you can’t heal until you reach the glowing root and use it to clear away the darkness. If you get badly hurt, then it’s probably a good idea to go back to the Nisoij Lightroot to cleanse yourself of the gloom. I got ambushed from behind when I was almost at the glowing root, but I made it without dying.
The glowing root is an Iayusus Lightroot, which is basically the same as a Nisoij Lightroot, so examine it too. Robbie is standing near the campfire near the Iayusus Lightroot, so talk to him, and he will unlock the Camera ability and the Hyrule Compendium on your Purah Pad.

Robbie is inside the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, which is at the very top of the hill overlooking the town. The main path through the village takes you right to him, so just follow that.
