Learn how to find the Cugukaram Lightroot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This guide covers necessary preparations, location, and how to reach it in the Eldin Canyon Depths.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prepare for the Eldin Canyon Depths by purchasing two Flameguard armor pieces from the Armor Shop in Goron City. These cost 1,900 Rupees. Alternatively, gather Fireproof Lizards for Fireproof Elixirs, but be aware of their timers.
  2. 2
    Procure Zonai devices, specifically a Flame Emitter and a Balloon, from device dispensers.
  3. 3
    Travel to Woodland Stable and head north to the Minshi Woods Chasm.
  4. 4
    Drop into the Depths and immediately start heading northeast. Ensure you are wearing the Flameguard armor or have a Fireproof Elixir active, as the area is very hot. Avoid using wooden gear, as it will burn.
  5. 5
    Navigate towards the Abandoned Eldin Mine. The Cugukaram Lightroot is located near it.
  6. 6
    Find the small Zonai outpost situated northeast of the Abandoned Eldin Mine.
  7. 7
    From the Zonai outpost, look up and towards the sky, northwest. You will see a lavafall coming out of the cliffside. This is the ledge where the Lightroot is located.
  8. 8
    At the outpost, assemble a flying device by attaching the Flame Emitter and Balloon to the existing hot-air balloon structure.
  9. 9
    Stand on the platform and activate the device to ascend. If your battery is low, use Zonai Charges to replenish it.
  10. 10
    Once you are high enough, jump off the flying device and glide towards the Lightroot.
  11. 11
    Activate the Cugukaram Lightroot to illuminate the surrounding area of the Depths.
Tips
  • Ensure you have at least two pieces of Flameguard armor or sufficient Fireproof Elixirs before entering the Eldin Canyon Depths.
  • Check that none of your equipped gear is made of wood, as it will burn in the heat.
  • Zonai devices like the Flame Emitter and Balloon are crucial for reaching the Lightroot.
  • If your Zonai device runs out of battery, use Zonai Charges to recharge.
