What cool things have you guys found? I’ve done a cursory exploration of the whole place, going from light root to light root, but haven’t spent a lot of time looking at details etc.

There’s a bargainer statue underneath every significant goddess statue. The small ones don’t count.

Pretty much anything significant in the overworld has an equivalent in the depths, they really went far with that mechanic! I haven’t stumbled across a single lynel yet but apparently there’s one underneath each stable.

This has been the coolest thing for me. Realizing the shrines line up, then any water, then the entire heightmap. It feels really rewarding to figure that stuff out then use it to navigate new areas you haven’t unlocked yet based on what’s in the overworld.

I didn’t know this about lynels being under stables. So I checked my map, as I had marked each lynel I encountered in the depths, and you’re right! Each one is directly under a stable!

Early on I had a lynel play murderball with me while exploring the depths. They’re down there.

One cool thing (that not everyone immediately groks) is that each lightroot corresponds to a shrine on the surface (and vice versa) - really useful if you’re looking for some out-of-the-way shrines, and you’ve done some mapping of the area in the depths already.

And pairs have the same names, but reversed!

The height map is reversed, so mountains become valleys. Rivers and lakes become impassable walls.

Do the great fairy fountains correspond to anything?

I don’t think the fairy fountains correspond to anything, but the ‘Spring of Courage/Power/Wisdom’ and the Great Mother Goddess Statue in the forgotten temple all correspond to Bargainer statue locations.

Something I’d like to know is what’s up with these pillars connecting to the surface? Besides the obvious one, they always seem to be placed at random locations. These things feel like they should nudge you towards something interesting or teach you something, but I didn’t get either of those.
