Calip lives in a small cabin just east of [[Fort Hateno]].

After talking to Calip, when Link acknowledges that Calip is a Doctor, it certainly changes Calip's demeanor.{{Ref|''Doctor... Did I...just hear you call me doctor? As in, not merely Calip, but DOCTOR Calip? It rolled off your tongue so naturally. It was downright salivary!'' - '''Calip'''}} He will tell Link of a riddle that he is trying to solve, ''"When a dark light resides in the cursed statue's eyes, pierce its gaze to purge the seal from the shrine."''.{{Ref|''Hrm... This changes things... Very well then! I'm feeling charitable, so I'll let a few things spill. This is just between us, understand. "When a dark light resides in the cursed statue's eyes, pierce its gaze to purge the seal from the shrine." I'm still in the process of deciphering that one, so I don't suppose there's any harm in sharing it with you. That's my life in a nutshell. Days filled with researching shrines and nights spent studying ancient texts. That leaves no time to converse with passing strangers, so farewell.'' - '''Calip'''}}{{Ref|''"When a dark light resides in the cursed statue's eyes, pierce its gaze to purge the seal from the shrine." I'm not wrong, am I? It must be around there...'' - '''Calip'''}} | After talking to Calip, when Link acknowledges that Calip is a Doctor, it certainly changes Calip's demeanor and this will begin [[The Cursed Statue]] quest.{{Ref|''Doctor...

Calip hints that he thinks that the dark light could just very well be the night light.{{Ref|''I've been pondering the dark light mentioned here for some time, and I must admit I'm stumped. Light can't be dark, obviously. Unless... Whoops! Can't go divulging my research before I publish, now, can I?'' - '''Calip'''}} However, at 5pm each evening, Calip will head back to his house, so he never gets to see the statues during the evening hours.{{Ref|''I try not to set foot outside my hut when night falls and monsters begin to roam this area. Just because I'm a trained archaeologist doesn't mean I have any skill with a blade. Quite the opposite, in fact.'' - '''Calip'''}} | Calip hints that he thinks that the dark light could just very well be the night light.{{Ref|''I've been pondering the dark light mentioned here for some time, and I must admit I'm stumped.

After completing the quest, Calip is even more confuses as to how the Shrine has suddenly appear, chalking it up to it being a stroke of luck.{{Ref|''A shrine? Here? But I hadn't completed my inquiry into the mystery of the ancient texts. Hrm... This must be what we in the archaeology profession refer to as "a stroke of luck." Er, not that I believe in any such thing...'' - '''Calip'''}} With the shrine now visible, Calip is continuing his research.{{Ref|''Huh. The mystery deepens... My only response can be to redouble my efforts-now that the shrine is visible-to solve the mystery at last!'' - '''Calip'''}} | |||
