King Dorephan is in the Pristine Sanctum, a hidden chamber behind a waterfall at Lulu Lake, east of Zora’s Domain. To learn the intended location in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, listen to the children in Zora’s Domain’s throne room from behind them; then enter the waterfall cave and speak with Dorephan.
How to learn King Dorephan’s location
-
Return to the throne room at Zora’s Domain.
-
Move behind the children and listen to their conversation. Approaching them from the front will not reveal the secret.
-
Use the clue to find the waterfall cave at Lulu Lake, east of Zora’s Domain.
Where to find the Pristine Sanctum
The Pristine Sanctum is behind a waterfall at Lulu Lake. Enter the cave behind the water to reach King Dorephan. Nearby landmark descriptions vary: the entrance is also described as slightly northwest of Mipha Court, and Lulu Lake can be reached by gliding from Ihen-a Shrine. The waterfall at Lulu Lake is the clearest locator.
