The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD eGuide Overworld: Journey Through Lanayru Province

Task 3: Find the Scent of Ilia

Battle at the Bridge of Eldin

Warp Portal

The entire area you’ve explored so far has been ransacked of treasure. Head back to the Bridge of Eldin, and gallop across to the north side. Shoot the wall of rocks that blocks the road north. A warp portal appears, and three Twilit Messengers drop onto the bridge. A portion of the bridge also disappears, effectively marooning you on the north side!

Defeating the three Twilit Messengers while on horseback is easier than it sounds. Ride past them to the section of bridge that’s disappeared, and turn to the side. Wait for all three to congregate, then strike them all with a spin attack. After a couple of spins, all three should fall. If you’re having trouble, dismount and attack them as normal.

Author Note

Be sure you attack these three Twilit Messengers, as this causes a warp portal to open. We didn’t do this and consequently spent the rest of the game trying to figure out where to place the missing piece of bridge and taking the long route back to Kakariko Village!

Ride Epona north, along the rocky path that takes you north and west, where the path splits around a hill. You can access the right path only if you’re traveling south. The path bends to the west, and you reach a bridge, where two Bulblins and an archer are waiting. Either ride through or stop and hack. The path eventually ends at a thick black wall. This is the last area of twilight!

Pouring Light into Lanayru Province

Midna pulls you into the twilight and you leave Epona behind, transforming into the wolf and running down a rocky path. Along the way, Twilit Keese swoop down to harass you. Autotarget them and bite down hard.

Continue down the path until you reach an object lying in the road. Turn your sense view on to see a pink scent emanating from it. Sniff it, and you realize this is Ilia’s purse! Forget the Youth’s Scent, and instead learn Scent of Ilia.

Scent of Ilia

You learned the Scent of Ilia!

With your sense view on, follow the trail of scent down the hill. On the way, there are four different dig spots and a few Twilit Keese to gnaw. As the path opens up to Hyrule Field (north), Midna recognizes that castle from your earlier exploits.

1. Digging for Rupees Down the Hill

The path has three patches of dig holes (Rupees and one eart near the scent) and some weeds on the right side hide two blue Rupees (5). After you pick up the scent, check for dig spot 1 (Rupees), dig spot 2 (Rupees and a Heart), and dig spot 3 (Rupee) before you enter the Hyrule Field (north).
