Automatons are helpful little combat robots in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Here’s how to get all automatons, including the necessary side quests and echoes.
There are six automatons in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, optional little robots you can have assist you in combat.
For the most part, automatons are completely skippable, though they are somewhat useful in taking down swarms of enemies at once. You can clear the whole game without them, as the only thing that specifically requires an automaton is a side quest: “An Out-There Zol.”
Below, we explain where to find Dampé to unlock automatons as well as what echoes and items you need to provide for him to make each automaton.
You’ll need to find Dampé in Hyrule Field before you unlock the automatons. We didn’t see him until after we beat the Hyrule Castle dungeon, so it’s likely that he’s not available until after that portion of the game.
The location he’s in is somewhat random — in one instance, we found him around Hyrule Ranch, but in another, we found him northwest of Lake Hylia. He may appear in other areas, so you’ll want to scour around. Help him out by defeating the crow and he’ll thank you and head off to his workshop.
You can find his workshop north of the Eastern Temple and it has its own warp waypoint. Once you’re there, he’ll need your help making automatons, which leads us to the next part.
To help out Dampé, you’ll need to place echoes that fulfill his description on the platform in front of him. The descriptions and their answers for this first automaton is as follows:
You can find tektites in western Hyrule Field and mothula in the Gerudo Sanctum dungeon.
