All 127 Echoes: Locations and Uses

In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom there are a total of 127 Echoes. Of these, 34 are item echoes and 93 are monster echoes. To complete the game, you should learn each of them at least once. The Notebook in the game shows you which echoes are already saved, their cost and the order in which they are sorted. Our table follows this Notebook order and names the base cost as well as a reliable Location. Many echoes appear in several places; We prefer to name an early or particularly easy-to-understand find. If an echo is tied to a main mission or a later story arc, we’ll point it out.

You will get the first echoes – table, wooden box, Hyrule Castle Pot, Decorative Shrub and Old Bed – during “The Mysterious Rifts”. After that, Hyrule opens up quickly. For a natural collection route, we recommend our solution to “Searching for Everyone” and then the three region guides from “Lands of the Goddesses”.

Echo Cost and Tri’s triangle allowance

Each Echo requires a certain number of Tri’s triangles to summon. At the beginning just stand three triangles available. By closing large and small rifts, Tri’s power later increases to six triangles. In addition, many monster echoes become cheaper by one triangle as the game progresses. The table on this page always shows the original basic costs. This means that the values ​​are correct regardless of your current score. For example, a bombfish initially costs four triangles and becomes cheaper later. The Lynel starts with six triangles and can therefore only be summoned in a meaningful way when Tri is sufficiently developed.

From tri level 3 you can also summon echoes from a greater distance. This is particularly helpful for puzzles in Hyrule Castle, Faron and on the Hebra Mountain. Small cracks are therefore not only interesting for Might Crystals, but also directly improve your most important echo abilities.

Particularly useful echoes

You don’t need all 127 echoes in the quick selection all the time. However, some remain useful for almost the entire adventure. The Old Bed is an excellent staircase early on and heals Zelda while resting. Water blocks can be stacked and make many height puzzles much easier. Platboom works like an elevator, while flying tiles wide gaps quickly cross. Later, the cloud becomes one of the best platform echoes in the game. Holmill digs hidden holes and helps locate collectibles. The bomb fish replaces a classic bomb long before the Bombs of Might. For heavy fighting include Lizalfos Lv. 3, Darknut Lv. 3 and finally the Lynel are among the strongest options.

All 34 item echoes

You don’t have to defeat item echoes. Simply stand close enough to the original and note the item with the Tri Rod. Unlike many monster echoes, their triangle costs remain fundamentally fixed.

All 93 Monster Echoes

Monster echoes only appear after you have defeated the corresponding enemy. Then go to the shimmering echo and mark it with the Tri Rod. Some enemies have special conditions: The Lynel only appears after following its hoof tracks and the Beamos still has to be completely destroyed after it is petrified.

Find

Lynel – strongest monster echo

The Lynel is the only Echo with a base cost of six triangles and one of the strongest regular enemies in Echoes of Wisdom. You can find him in Eternal Forest, but you can’t just walk straight to his clearing. The enemy only appears when you follow the designated trail. Start at Waypoint in the Eternal Forest and look south of it for the clearly visible hoof prints. Follow them first west, then south, then northeast and east and finally into the northeast part of the forest. The Lynel appears in the clearing there. Defeat him with your strongest echoes and then memorize his echo.

On our story route, this detour fits into the late section around “Null and the Prime Energy”. The Lynel is particularly strong for the final because Zelda can no longer fall back on the Swordfighter Form.

Learn

Beamos – blow up

after the fight

The Beamos in the Faron Wetlands often causes confusion. If you do enough damage to it, it will initially just crumble into a stone form. In this state no learnable echo appears. Then blow up the petrified form completely with a bomb or a Bombfish. Only then is the opponent finally defeated and you can learn the Beamos Echo. You can find a matching Location in the cave near the ruins east of Scrubton. The region is described in detail in “A Rift in the Faron Wetlands”.

Find missing echoes after the credits

No echo can be missed permanently. After the game ends, you can reload your save and catch up on open content. In the Eternal Forest, the Great Deku Tree then helps you narrow down which regions you are still missing echoes in. This is particularly practical if there are only a few entries open in the Notebook. Commonly overlooked echoes include Zelda’s Bed, Carrot, Fireworks, Ancient Orb, Lynel, Ghini Lv. 2, Darknut Lv. 3 and Beamos.
