How to Get to the Construct Factory in Tears to the Kingdom

After the events of the Main Quest Crisis at Hyrule Castle, the group will be in slightly low spirits, seeing firsthand how strong the Demon King is and how difficult the coming battle against him will be, which will decide the fate of Hyrule. Purah, however, reassesses that they may yet have all the pieces of the puzzle together, as there were six sages in all the visions, and only five are currently accounted for, save for Princess Zelda. Reinvigorated with some hope, the group temporarily split up to look for any clues pointing toward any major ancient ruins where they could find this last sage’s ancient artifact, as they found theirs in ancient ruins themselves, initiating the Main Quest Find the Fifth Sage.

First off, make sure you have ten hearts throughout the next objectives if you don’t already, as the way will be blocked for you later on if you don’t have enough yet. Head to Kakariko Village to begin your search. Talk to the village Chief and keep following the objectives of the Secret of the Ring Ruins quest line. Eventually, you’ll head for Dragonhead Island in the Faron region. You should have ten hearts by the time you get here. Cut through some vines to the north and examine the large door. You’ll have to burn through some of your hearts to open it, which is why you need at least ten by now. Examine the mask on the other side of the door and a voice will beckon you to take the mask and follow the light. Initiating the Main Quest Guidance from Ages Past. Use whatever Zonai Devices necessary to bring the mask to where the light points, and you’ll eventually get to a large statue to the north, which will rise up to reveal the stairs to the platform leading to the Construct Factory.

Solving the Construct Factory Puzzle in Zelda TotK

Down here, you will slot the mask into what seems like a mold for a large humanoid construct, which already has its body in the intended slot. The voice will introduce herself as Mineru, the Sage of Spirit, and explain that she has no physical body anymore. However, she can still help you if you assemble a body that she can use, by assembling the other body parts needed into the construct mold.

 

Assembling the Left Leg in the Construct Factory

Turn around first and activate the Muokuij Lightroot behind you to shine some light on the map and your path. From here, head to the east and into the Left-Leg Depot. To the left of the fences leading up to the depot is a small camp of enemies consisting of two corrupted Black Bokoblins, and a corrupted Silver Bokoblin. Activate the mechanism with the green glyph and a box containing the left leg will be created for you. The gate behind you will close, while the gate above to your left will open. On the left side of the room, there should be two tilted platforms. Use Ultrahand to put the box on top of one of them and then activate the Rockets inside to bring it up. Push the wheel here to rotate it counterclockwise to bring the half-drawbridge down but just enough to form an angle, so you can use it as a ramp to get up to the ledge to the left. Behind is a Zonai Device Dispenser so use it if you need to, or just to have it show on your map. Attach a Rocket nearby to the center of your box, put it on the ramp, and activate it to send the box over to the next area. To the west, you should see a square hole at the bottom of the wall you just sent the box over. Get in there and use Ascend. Check if your box is in the waters to your left but ignore it for now and head to the right you should see some Rockets and a small set of stairs leading to another cavity, so get in there and Ascend up again. To your left is a grate with two carts attached to some plates, and a chest behind it, which contains a Large Zonaite. Use Ultrahand to get the chest first, and the two carts. Bring them down to the lower floor and grab the nine Zonaites in total attached to them. Attach the box to the cart and a Rocket to the box, and point the whole thing to the northwest toward the construct mold. Get on top of it and activate the Rocket and enjoy the free ride. The box should break when you take it near the mold and you can now put the part into the slot for the left leg.

 

Assembling the Right Leg in the Construct Factory

From here, go behind the mold and Ascend up for two chests containing a Mighty Zonaite Shield, and a Captain III Reaper. Head out the fence and onto the small balcony platform to the northeast. If you haven’t activated the Lightroot in this area, the view will be pitch black for you, so attach a Brightbloom Seed to your Arrows and shoot toward the southeast. It might take a few shots but you should eventually hit what looks like a large spine. Glide to it and follow its path up, using Brightbloom Seeds as needed. If you look above, the Uisihcoj Lightroot should be visible so head up there and activate it so you can see your path ahead. To the northeast, you should see a dark silhouette on top of a rock formation. If you examine it you can take a Traveler’s Sword+. There will be two corrupted Aerocudas circling above you. Head along the path onto a fenced platform, and keep going toward the right. Eventually, you’ll have to jump and glide over to the next platforms until you get to the Right-Leg Depot. Head inside and activate the mechanism with green runes to have the right leg created for you. As with the previous depot, the gate behind you will close while one opens up above, so take the box and bring it to the platforms to the right. Hit the Fans there to bring you up. Don’t forget to turn any Fans you use back off so your battery doesn’t have to recharge all the way. Here you should attach the box to the hook on the railing, and then grab one of the Fans from the elevator you used and attach it to the middle of the box to let it travel safely along the railing. Head to the south under the opening above and use Ascend to get up there where your box should arrive if it isn’t here already. Detach the box and take it to the next elevator and use the fans here to head up again. You can drop the box off the cliff in front of you and follow it down yourself and just Ultrahand to bring the box all the way back to the mold. Alternatively, you can head up the ledges to your right, grab a Wing, a Steering Stick, and three Fans to make a Fanplane. There’s also a chest up here with three Zonaites. If you don’t know how to yet, just attach the three Fans to the wings of the Wing and to its tail, and the Steering Stick right at the center. Activate the fans and ride your Fanplane to the west back to the mold and put the right leg to the appropriate part.

 

Assembling the Left Arm in the Construct Factory

Head back out toward the first Lightroot and from there you should see the next depot above to the southwest, marked by some green lights. On your way, two trees will turn into corrupted Evermeans before you head up the inclined path. At the end of the path, you should make it to the Left-Arm Depot. To your left is the mechanism with the green glyph. Activate it to have your left arm created for you in a box, as usual. The gate behind you will close and a gate a bit further will open. Hit the Big Wheel to your left to open the way forward and head across with your box. Grab two of the Big Wheels and attach them to the long sides of your box along with a nearby Steering Stick to turn it into a car that can cross the lava and can fit the path to the south. Once you get to the small room across, you’ll need to rearrange your car by attaching the Big Wheels to the shorter sides of the car so it can cross the next lava path. Once across, head to the left to see a ladder, and then Ascend a bit past it for a Grand Poe waiting for you above. Head back down and then, leaving the Steering Stick on, you can detach the Big Wheels of your car and attach them instead to the end of the two chains in front of the white door to your left, and then activate them to bring your box through. On the other side, grab the two Fans that are moving the non-Zonai fans and attach them to your box. The second non-Zonai fan has a chest on one of its blades containing another three Zonaites. Put your new makeshift boat on the water and ride it along the river all the way back to the mold. Bring the box near the mold to let it break and put the left arm into the appropriate slot.

 

Assembling the Right Arm in the Construct Factory

The last depot you need to go to can be seen above you to the west, again marked by green lights. Head west directly from here and you should see a large bridge structure to your left. Head up there and you’ll come across a Soldier Construct II if you just so happen to walk by as it's there for patrol. Use Brightbloom Seeds as much as you want if you haven’t unlocked the Lightroot for this area. Patrolling the area after the bridge are five corrupted Black Bokoblins led by a corrupted Black Boss Bokoblin. Past them, you’ll go up one long set of stairs, and then turn right to get to the Right-Arm Depot. As with the other three, examine the mechanism with green runes to have your right arm created and dropped in its box. As usual, the gate behind you will close and another one above you will open. Bring the box up the slope to your right through whatever means you’d like. Up here, let the box lie on the electric bridge in such a way that it’s completely stable, attach a Fan behind it, and turn it on to let it get across to the other side. Drop down the gap, shooting a Brightbloom Seed first if you need it, and you should see a square hole on the wall to your left. Inside is a chest containing a Large Zonaite. Ascend right up from here to get to where you sent your box over. In the next room, to your right should be a stone arch leading to a small room with a Zonai Charge and a Steering Stick. Grab the latter and attach it to your box along with four Small Wheels to make another minicar. Drive your car to the east down the ramp and straight back to the mold. Let the box break near the mold and finally put the fourth and last part of the construct into its intended slot. Watch the construct come to life as Mineru, the voice that’s been guiding you thus far, lends you her power as she inhabits it. Congratulations!

Your next objective should be to get her secret stone from her temple while testing out her construct’s powers. For an in-depth guide on how to get to and clear the Spirit Temple, visit our Spirit Temple page Spirit Temple!

Speed Run Walkthrough

After the events of the Main Quest Crisis at Hyrule Castle, head to Kakariko Village. Talk to the village Chief and complete the following objectives of the quest Secret of the Ring Ruins. Make sure you have ten hearts before you get to Dragonhead Island. There, cut through the vines to the north and activate the large door. Examine the mask inside to start the Main Quest Guidance from Ages Past. Follow the green light while bringing the mask with you through whatever means you want to eventually get to the Construct Factory.

Down here, you’ll have to assemble the four remaining parts of the construct by putting each of them into the mold in their intended slots. Turn around and activate the Muokuij Lightroot behind you. Head east from here to the Left-Leg Depot, marked by the green lights. Activate the green-runed mechanism to acquire the left leg construct part in a box. Bring your box into the platforms to the left of the room and activate the Rocket inside to go up. Rotate the wheel counterclockwise enough so that the half-drawbridge forms a ramp you can use to get up to the ledge across. Attach a nearby Rocket to your box and get on top of it. Activate the Rocket for a free ride up to the ledge along with your box. On this upper area, move along the right path to a small set of stairs and Ascend up when you hit the wall. To your right will be some carts behind a grate, as well as a chest containing a Large Zonaite if you want it. Bring one of the carts down to your box and attach them together, along with another Rocket. Point it toward the northwest, get on top of it, and then activate the Rocket for a free ride back to the construct mold. The box will break when near enough to the mold and then you can put the left leg into its intended slot.

Next, you’ll want to go behind the mold and then Ascend up to a higher area with two chests containing a Mighty Zonaite Shield and a Captain III Repear if you want them. Head out the fence and onto a small balcony to get a view to the southeast. If your Uisihcoj Lightroot isn’t activated yet, you’ll want to attach some Brightbloom Seeds to your Arrows and shoot them towards the southeast to try and hit a large spine. Jump and glide to the spine and head up along its path. You can activate the Uisihcoj Lightroot when you pass by it if you haven’t already done so. Head to the northeast, grabbing a Traveler’s Sword+ from the black silhouette if you want it, and keep going to where you’ll have to jump and glide to some platforms to eventually get to the Right-Leg Depot. Activated the green-runed mechanism inside to acquire your right leg in a box. Bring the box to the platforms to the right and hit the Fans to go up, making sure to turn them off afterward. Attach the box to the hook hanging on the rail and a Fan behind it and then activate the Fan. Go down to the south and Ascend up to get to where your box will go if it isn’t there already. Head up to the right and get a Wing, Steering Stick, three Fans, and a chest with three Zonaites if you want them. Bring the Zonai Devices to your box and make a Fanplane with the box attached. Ride your Fanplane to bring the box back to the mold and put the right leg in its intended slot.

Facing the mold, turn around to the first Lightroot. Make your way to the Left-Arm Depot to the southwest, marked again by some green lights. Activate the green-runed mechanism to get your left arm in a box. Hit the Big Wheels to your left and bring your box over to a room with a narrow lava bridge. Attach two Big Wheels to the longer sides of your box along with a Steering Stick and ride the box across the lava. Once across, attach the Big Wheels to the shorter sides of your box this time, adjust your Steering Stick accordingly, and ride your makeshift car to the next lava bridge to the next area. There’s a Grand Poe in an area above you to the left if you want it. Otherwise, detach the Big Wheels to the chains on the white door and then hit them and bring your box to the other side. The farther non-Zonai fan to your right has a chest containing three Zonaites if you want them. Otherwise, attach the two Fans to your box to make a motorboat, put it on the water, and ride it along the river to take it back to the mold. Put the left arm into its intended slot. To get to the last part, head west from here, ignoring the wide bridge on the left, to get to a much narrower bridge. Cross it and keep going until you reach a large inclined tile.  Climb up and then Ascend up when you hit the wall to get to the entrance of the Right-Arm Depot. Activate the green-runed mechanism to acquire your right arm in a box. Bring the box up the slope to your right and then put it on top of the electric bridge. Attach one of the nearby Fans behind the box and then activate it to let it get across. There’s a square hole down the gap to the left with a chest containing a Large Zonaite if you want it. Otherwise, jump and glide to the other side. In the next room, there should be a stone arch to your right. Walk under it to get a Steering Stick to attach to your box, along with four Small Wheels nearby to make a minicar. Put the minicar on the ramp to the east and drive it all the way back to the mold to put the right arm in its intended slot and finally complete Mineru’s construct. Your next objective will be to get to the Spirit Temple. Click here for an in-depth guide on how to get there and clear it.
