How to Get to Suthorn Ruins

#	Step by Step Objectives
1	After reaching the house that Impa marked on your map and finding out part of it was swallowed by the rift, make a detour to the east until you find the rift entrance to the Stilled Suthorn Forest.
2	Jump onto the floating platforms while heading northeast to a cave. Inside, jump to the east side of the room and step on the pressure plate to unlock the next room. The exit door in the second room will only open after defeating all the Zols inside.
3	Once you're back outside, head northwest until you reach Suthorn Ruins.

Obtain the Dungeon Map

#	Step by Step Objectives
1	Enter the next room and use Bind on the boulder so you can place it on the pressure plate to the left and unlock the door. Continue to the unlocked room.
2	Move the boulder to the right with Bind to reveal a ladder, but before you go down, let's take a quick detour first! While bound to the boulder, press jump so you can place it on the gap and enter the room to the west. Pull the chest with Bind and get the Radiant Butter inside. Try mixing it into a Smoothie later!
3	Go back to the previous room and go down the ladder that was hidden under the boulder. Defeat the first Strandtula that you run into to obtain its Echo, which you can use to attach a web strand to the ceiling.
4	Move a little more to the right and you will spot another chest. Summon Strandtulas to attach webs that you can use to reach the chest containing the Dungeon Map! Exit through the nearby ladder to continue.

Get the Mysterious Sword

#	Step by Step Objectives
1	Summon another Strandtula on the gap to quickly reach the door to the left. You can also use a combination of Bed and Trampoline Echoes.
2	Head north and take the lift up. At the top of the ladder is a Darknut whose Echo you can use as a new powerful attack unit! Create a Trampoline so you can hop over the fallen pillar on your left then enter the next room. Go down the ladder inside.
3	The room below contains a brazier puzzle where the door unlocks only after lighting all the braziers. For the first unlit brazier, you can simply summon a Brazier or an Ignizol Echo beside it, or if you don't have the Echoes, you can burn the nearby crate with the lit brazier and place it next to the unlit one.
4	Go up the ladder and move the rock out of the way. Burn all the crates at the top to unlock the east exit.
5	You'll notice that only one knight statue is holding a shield. Pull that shield with Bind to open the next room. Remember this trick as it might come in handy later! *wink*
6	Turn left and use Trampolines or Bed bridges to reach the chest on the other side containing 50 rupees.
7	Go back to the main path, continue heading north, and up the long staircase until you find a familiar figure at the top. Defeat the clone of Link to continue. ▶ Link Miniboss Guide
8	Pick up the Mysterious Sword from the ground and raise it to change into the Swordfighter Form! This key item is neat as you can now fight head on together with your Echoes. The sword can also cut the ooze blocking your way to the ladder.

Get the Big Key

#	Step by Step Objectives
1	Climb the ladder all the way down and pull the boulder to the gap on your left. Hop on top of it and spawn a Strandtula so you can reach the chest containing a Heart Pin, one of the many Accessories that can buff Zelda! Continue by taking the southeast ladder.
2	At the end of the next room is a huge locked door which leads to the boss room. This requires a special key that you will get deeper into Suthorn Ruins. For now, go to the only open door on the west side. Defeat all the Deku Baba enemies here to unlock two new paths.
3	In the north room you'll find another Deku Baba behind a fence. Pull its head with Bind to reveal a chest containing small key! It can only open small doors, though.
4	Return to the previous room and enter the left room this time. Bind the knight statue to you and go up the slope so you can put it at the upper platform. Move to the right side of the room as the statue slides toward the pressure plate, lowering the bars for you to claim the 50 rupees from the chest. Another way to solve this is to use the chest itself as weight then just drag it down.
5	Return to the room with the huge locked door and open the small door to the right using the small key you found earlier. On the east end of the room, you will find another movable knight statue on the other side of a fence. Use Bind on it and place it on the pressure plate so you can use the ladder.
6	Use the moving platform to continue and in the next room, use Reverse Bind on the platform above so you can get to the other side. Repeat this until you reach the topmost ladder. Don't forget to open the chest containing 20 rupees along the way!
7	Summon a Trampoline and make sure it's aligned to the pillar with the pressure plate. Bind the statue jump on the Trampoline so the statue gains enough elevation. Once the bars are lowered, open the big chest to get the big key!

Defeat the Seismic Talus

#	Step by Step Objectives
1	Use the opened shortcut to the south to quickly return to the room with the big door. Unlock the door with the big key and fight the Seismic Talus. ▶ Seismic Talus Boss Guide
2	After beating the dungeon boss, you will obtain a full Heart Container and 5 unusual crystals! Leave through the portal to complete the dungeon.

Suthorn Ruins Minibosses

Link

Immediately after Link engages you, use Bind to pull the shield off him. This will prevent him from blocking you and your Echoes' attacks. With his shield out of the way, summon a Peahat Echo to obliterate him.

The same strategy also works in the second phase, but will be a bit more tedious due to Link being more aggressive. Resummon the Peahat whenever it's taken out by spin slashes until you wear him off with your own spin-to-win strat.

Suthorn Ruins Boss: Seismic Talus

Seismic Talus Strategy
Use Bind to Pull Its Core Play More Defensively

Use Bind to Pull Its Core

The Seismic Talus can only be damaged by attacking its conveniently glowing core. You can make its core more exposed by pulling it with Bind. This will break the boss down and leave the core behind for you and your Echoes to attack.

Play More Defensively

Instead of trying to overwhelm the Seismic Talus with Echoes or attempting to pull its core randomly, wait for the boss to finish attacking and be vulnerable before going all in.

This way, you can focus on moving around and dodging its attacks while waiting for an opening.
