We rank Astro Bot's biggest enemies, the bosses.

Near the Stilled Suthorn Forest, you'll find the Stilled Northern Sanctuary. This sacred place is sealed within a rifft and must be restored to fully explore it. We'll guide you through the process so you can save as many people as possible from the rifts threatening to tear the world apart in Echoes of Wisdom.

How To Restore The Stilled Northern Sanctuary Rift

To restore the rift, you'll need to free all of Tri's friends trapped inside. There are three orbs of darkness holding them captive, and you'll need to interact with each of them to set your golden allies free.

Clearing The Chapel

Once inside the rift, Tri informs you that it's not connected to a bigger rift. This smaller rift leads to the chapel that's been taken over. Head inside and defeat the shadowy Boarblins that await you.

Use your best echoes and swordfighter form as needed to defeat these beasts. Once the chapel is clear, you'll find a shadowy blob filled with more of Tri's friends.

This orb drops from the spear-throwing Boarblin.

Interact with the orb to free Tri's friends and allow them to repair the rift. You can now leave the chapel and climb along the trees to reach the different sections of the rift.

The Southern Orb

To the south, use trampolines to bounce onto the pale rocks. Then, send Tri into the large gravestone where the orb is resting. Drag the gravestone out from underneath the orb.

Beware of Ghinis in the graveyard! A combative echo can fight them off.

Once the orb is accessible, hurry to hop on the newly moved headstone and interact with the orb. Freeing Tri's friends will bring you one step closer to repairing the rift and restoring the sanctuary.

The Graveyard Orb

The final orb can be found in the graveyard. Fight off the Ghinis in the area and use Tri to move the gravestone the orb is trapped in. Once the gravestone is moved, interact with the orb to free the rest of Tri's friends.

You'll trigger a cutscene where all of Tri's friends gather and revel together before going to work and repairing the rift. Tri shares a gift of two might crystals with you before taking you back to Zelda's world.

Now that the rift is restored, you can enter the chapel from Zelda's world and interact with the people inside.
