If you’re looking to fully explore the Depths of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you will have an incredibly tall task ahead of you. The Depths are treacherous, containing dozens of boss encounters and tough enemies, but it’s plentiful in Zonaite and weapons free of rust, not to mention rare armor pieces.

If you want to explore the Depths then Lightroots will help, as these will permanently light up sections of the Depths once activated, on top of acting as a Fast Travel point. Lightroots are sometimes awkwardly placed behind walls, deep in caverns, or high up on perchs. This can make them tough to find, even as they glow in the Depths. But that’s what this guide is for.

In this guide we’re listing every Lightroot by area with full maps so you can cross-reference these with your own in-game map of the Depths to find all of the Lightroots you’re missing. Each Lightroot corresponds with a Shrine on the Surface, and you can find those with our list of all Shrine locations.

For more Zelda guides and tips, like how to find and activate all Skyview Towers, or an explanation of all Zonai Devices, make sure to read our full Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough.

The Dispelling Darkness Medal doesn’t actually do anything, mind. The sense of accomplishment is the real reward here – sorry about that.
