The final series of floors all occur in a Sheikah-made interior patrolled by Guardian Scouts. Compared to the pitch-black floors, they’re far more straightforward. Still, you’d do well to remain cautious, lest you trip before the finish line.

This particular floor has a shallow, rectangular body of water in the center.

Strategy

As soon as you enter, we suggest casting Cryonis at the water in front of you to create an ice pillar. This will shield you from the nearby Guardian Scouts shooting lasers. Once the pillar has been erected, stay behind it and shoot arrows at the two nearest Scouts on the left and right (the ones trying to attacking you).

(1 of 2) Towards the left, there’s a chest you can reach by creating an ice pillar nearby.

Towards the left, there’s a chest you can reach by creating an ice pillar nearby. (left), Inside is a bunch of arrows. Only grab it if you’re running low. (right)

From here, you can casually snipe the remaining four scouts further back, using the pillar as cover. Feel free to create more pillars if you’re unsure. After destroying all the scouts, if you need more arrows, there’s a chest to the far left containing 10 Arrows, which you can reach by creating an ice pillar nearby and then climbing up.

(By the way, since the scouts are on top of water, you can electrocute them by shooting Shock Arrows. However, unless you’ve got loads, you may want to save them for later. Plus it’s kind of overkill!)
