A Mystery in the Depths is a Main Quest found in Breath of the Wild

Overview

Link will first need to complete the Camera Work in the Depths quest to later unlock this quest. Link can speak with Purah and Tauro who can be seen talking to eachother at the Lookout Landing. Josha asks Link for help with another investigation. She mentions that more fragments have been found by the Zonai Survey Team. She mentions that there are a whole series of statues in a row that look like the Statue with raised arm that we previously found. With each statue pointing from one to another. They eventually lead to a temple and she asks Link to investigate. For the search, she will give Link ten Giant Brightbloom Seeds and ten Arrows.

Warp over to the Iayusus Lightroot, which is the location right next to the Statue with raised arm that was found during the Camera Work in the Depths quest. There are tons of these statues here, one pointing to the next, and so on and so forth. Follow them one after another. You may reach the darkness, and if so, be sure to activate the Nihcayam Lightroot along the way.

Along the way, Link will cross paths with an enemy Frox. This massive enemy will try to gobble Link up and occasionally will try to jump and land on him. Keep your distance and shoot an Arrow at the Frox's eye. Then jump on its back and strike the Ore Deposits that are found here. Repeat this process until the enemy has been defeated, and then continue onward, following the statues.

Once in the Dark, Link will need to use Brightbloom Seeds to illuminate the path, but just keep following the seemingly endless statues. Along the way, Link will encounter a few Bokoblin bases. Eventually Link will arrive at the Great Abandoned Central Mine.

There are two suspicious characters simply referred to as Researchers at the mine. Examine the symbol to awaken the Steward Construct who will activate the Autobuild ability. Fixed the vehicle on the circular platform by adjusted the missing wheel. For the square platform, use the newly acquired Autobuild to fix the vehicle.

Master Kohga will appear and a battle will ensue. Move to the site to avoid Kohga vehicle and then shoot him with an Arrow. While he's stunned, run over and slash away with a weapon. As Kohga begins to lose some of his health, he'll add more objects to his vehicle, making it harder for Lin to attack him. First he'll add a guard to the front, and then ones to the sides. Keep battling until he is defeated. Kohga will flee, mentioned that he is off to the Southwestern Abandoned Mine. This will begin the Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan adventure.

Objectives

Step	Description
1	Josha is looking for help to investigate the Depths due to a new discovery. She said you've come at a perfect time and has selected you to help her. Go with Josha to hear more about the upcoming investigation.
2	Josha pieced together a large mural from fragments to complete a picture that might show a series of statues in the Depths. Each one looks toward the next, until the last gazes at a temple-like building that's the focal point of the mural. Josha thinks this place may be real and hold a special Zonai power.
3	Just as Josha thought, when you went where each statue was looking in the Depths, you found your way to a temple-like building. There you acquired the Zonai ability Autobuild. Report your discovery to Josha at Lookout Landing.
