Head to Dampe's House

How to Complete
1 After witnessing Dampe having trouble with the crow, defeat the crow and talk to Dampe. He will thank you for retrieving the clockwork key and ask you to come to his house for a reward.
2 Head to Dampe's house north of Eastern Hyrule Field. The location will be marked by a quest and you can activate a waypoint right outside the house. Go inside and he'll reward you with five twisted pumpkins.

Find Inspiration for Dampe

How to Complete
1 Dampe will then ask you for new inspiration, he will tell you about a "creature with the big eye, the sort that's always jumping around" and for "something that shoots hot smoke out of its backside to blast forward". Both of these inspirations are echoes that you will need to present to him by summoning it on the pedestal right next to him.
2 For the first creature with the big eye and jumps around, use an echo of a Tektite. For the second creature, summon an echo of a Mothula.
3 Dampe will take inspiration from the echoes you presented to him and the quest will be completed. Dampe will then reward you with the Techtite automaton and a clockwork key.
