Step-by-Step Guide

1
Where Ancient Wisdom Sleeps starting point
Start the battle through Tobio's Hollow in the Faron Region.
2
Flame Emitter obtained
Follow Mineru and Rauru through the hollow until you reach the workshop, where a construct will give you the Flame Emitter Zonai device.
3
using the Flame Emitter on Little Froxes
As you continue investigating the ruins, you will run into a group of Little Froxes. This is the perfect opportunity for a Flame Emitter field test!
* Similar to Items and Unique Skills, you can assign Zonai devices by opening the Special Actions menu and assigning them to a face button. You can then use them by holding the R button and pressing the button you assigned them to.
4
Captain Construct I fight
Go up the platform and defeat the Captain Construct I. This enemy uses Charge attacks, so have your Piercing Light ready.
5
playing as Mineru
Mineru is now playable! You can explore her moveset in the next fight against the two Captain Construct II further into the hollow. However, her attacks are better suited for one-on-one battles against powerful enemies, so you might want to clear the horde of Little Froxes first with Rauru.
6
Time Bomb obtained
Open the chest that the last Captain Construct drops to obtain the Time Bomb Zonai device. This is a surprise device that will help you later.

When you're ready, approach the large stone door ahead.
7
throwing a Time Bomb at a Frox
Defeat the Frox. One unique way to stagger this boss is to throw a Time Bomb at its mouth when it starts inhaling to deal decent damage and expose its weak-point.

Successfully countering its dangerous attacks also allows you to hop on its back and attack the ore deposits to deal more damage.
8
map of the ruins
Go to the northwest corner of the map for the next objective to find more ruins and reveal the other half of this stage's full map.

Once you reach the center, you'll face a Stone Talus.
9
Stone Talus weak to shield breaker attacks
The Stone Talus has a fortified weak-point gauge that is more difficult to deplete than regular ones. Use more of those Time Bombs on all three characters to quickly break through its defenses and execute a Weak-Point Smash.
10
resonate with a Site of Sacred Power
Move to the next room and defeat the Captain Construct III. After the battle, approach the center of the platform and resonate with it to open the path ahead.
11
assigning allies on two objectives
You'll need to resonate with two more emblems to proceed, but they are located on the opposite sides of the ruins. To save time, you can order your allies to move to a specific point of the map, then switch to them once they arrive to complete the objectives yourself.
* In the Allies menu, you can select an ally and order them to move to a specific point in the map. They will start moving to that area immediately after closing the menu.

These allies will ignore enemies along the way and will not stop moving until they reach their destination. Not to worry, as they also won't be attacked until you switch to them.
12
Flux Construct I boss fight
The group will rendezvous back at the newly unlocked door after resonating with the other two emblems. Press onward and reach the next objective marker at the end of this path to enter a fight against a Flux Construct I.

Defeat the boss to complete the mission.
* This boss fight has two phases where it uses mostly the same attacks but with different counters to its dangerous attacks.

When it uses its dangerous attack during the first phase, counter it with an air attack while the Flux Construct I is in midair to interrupt it. But in the second phase, wait for it to land then use a charge attack as it rolls forward.
