| Objectives | Guide | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enlarge Talk to Purah |
Talk to Purah and she will tell you that you can bring any ancient materials to Robbie at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, starting the quest. |
| 2 |  EnlargeGo to the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab |
The lab can be found at the northeastern corner of the map. Go inside when you get there. |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Show your scars | Talk to Robbie, who will ask you to show him the scars on your body from 100 years ago. You can do this by simply removing your upper armor. |
| 4 |  EnlargeFind the Ancient Furnace |
Next, you'll need to light the furnace to get the lab up and working again, just like what you did on the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. Grab the torch inside the lab then head west to the hill on the other side where the Ancient Furnace is. |
|---|---|---|
| 5 |  EnlargeCarry the blue flame |
Light your torch with the blue flame and carry it back to the lab. Remember to light the torches you come across to use as "checkpoints" just in case since there are a lot of monsters in the area. |
| 6 |  EnlargeLight the lab's furnace |
After bringing the blue flame safely to the lab, ignite the lab's furnace with it to get the lab back up. |
| 7 | Talk to Robbie Again | Now, go back inside and talk to Robbie to complete the quest. |
|---|
Lighting the lab's furnace will activate its warp point and Cherry, who will give you ancient equipment and weaponries if you give it (her?) ancient materials from Guardians and some Rupees.
Many of the most powerful weapons in the game, as well as Ancient Arrows can be bought here, so be sure and complete this quest!
This is a full list of the Adventure Log entries for Robbie's Research.
| Entry | Entry Text |
|---|---|
| Quest Start | Purah told you that any ancient materials you find can be turned over to Robbie. You can find him presiding over the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. |
| 1st Update | You met Robbie, the director of the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. However, Cherry—or rather, the ancient oven—isn't working a the moment, meaning it can't create ancient soldier gear for you. All it (she?) needs to be up and running again is for you to light the furnace with the blue flame. |
| Quest Clear | Though Robbie initially presumed that it was the power of love that set the ancient oven right again, he soon realized the cause was actually you lighting the furnace with blue flame. If you give it some ancient materials, and a generous supply of rupees, the ancient oven will provide some ancient soldier gear in exchange. |
