To complete Dampé’s first automaton quest in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, finish the main quest “Still Missing,” meet Dampé north of Hyrule Ranch, then bring him Tektite and Mothula inspirations at his studio in Eastern Hyrule Field. The resulting automaton is Techtite. Automatons can attack and stun enemies, according to Nintendo’s game page.

Unlock the Automaton Engineer quest

Complete the main quest “Still Missing” first. Nintendo Life places that quest after the Hyrule Castle Dungeon and its boss. Once “Still Missing” is complete, Dampé can appear north of Hyrule Ranch.

Meet Dampé north of Hyrule Ranch

  1. Travel to the area north of Hyrule Ranch.
  2. Find Dampé being bothered by a crow and defeat the crow.
  3. After Dampé thanks Zelda, he marks his studio on your map. This first meeting is separate from the studio visit where you make the automaton.

Reach Dampé’s studio in Eastern Hyrule Field

The studio is east of Hyrule Castle Town and below Hebra Mountain. From the nearby route, head northeast past the boulder field, continue north toward a Moblin camp, then go east and follow the grassy area around to the studio. For the quest’s locations and route details, see Nintendo Life’s Dampé quest guide.

Bring Dampé the two inspirations for Techtite

At the studio, Dampé describes the needed inspirations with two clues: a “creature with the big eye–the sort that’s always jumping around” and “something that shoots hot smoke out of its backside to blast forward.” These refer to Tektite and Mothula. A level 2 version of either monster can also be used.

Find a Tektite

Choose whichever route suits your progress: Tektites are found in a canyon-like area in Hyrule Field, west of Hyrule Castle Town, or in shallow water near Seesyde Village in Jabul Waters.

Find a Mothula

Mothula is on the second floor of Gerudo Sanctum, the main dungeon in Gerudo Desert. Unlike Tektite, the guide lists no alternate location for this inspiration.
