Haafingar Secret Grotto

This page is incomplete and needs more detail or information.

Haafingar Secret Grotto is a small Secret Grotto accessed by a trapdoor located northeast of Ravenscar Hallow.

#### Haafingar Secret Grotto

On the exterior there is a gargoyle that sits by the water, close to the entrance to the grotto. Going near the entrance to the grotto will activate it.

The Haafingar Secret Grotto's interior consists of a tall room in which contains a fountain of blood. On the fountain is a copy of *A Chronicle of War Volume IV* and a bottle of Great Fairy's Tears, and a red Fairy in a Jar to the southwest side of the room. Upon entering, a Hylian Vampire will be fighting with Yolanda, Latimer, and Alnesaan in the fountain.

#### Malicious Hollow

A second area, the Malicious Hollow, is a deep cavern inhabited by Hylian and Gerudo Vampires, Keese, Skulltulas, a Gold Skulltula, and Like Likes. There is a small pathway going to the northeast that leads downward, and a large body of water that has two chests containing leveled loot and an orange rupee near one of them. To the south of the lake is a platform high up contains two chests, a trapped chest, and a training dummy. To the east across the lake is another platform that holds another chest and a Bow of the Sky. The bow is easily missed as it blends well with the ground it is on. The right platform to the south. The Song of Time can be used to make a bridge of Blocks of Time. The Eye of Truth spell or Lens of Truth can be used to indicate that this is possible.

At the very end behind of the Hollow to the north is a door that leads to a final location of the grotto, the Reclaimed Shrine. To the left is a pillar that holds a Piece of Heart and to the right in the ground is a rune that leads back to the entrance of the Malicious Hollow. With enough skill, or the help of an item to help with levitating such as the Roc's Cape or the Hover Boots, there's a chest that sits above the doorway with very rewarding loot, including potential Force Gems and Ferran ingredients.

#### Reclaimed Shrine

The Reclaimed Shrine is the final area of the Haafingar Secret Grotto. The room's biggest attraction is the blood fountain in the center back of the room, with red mist coming from it. On the right side there is an Arcane Enchanter, and a shelf containing various items, of note is the Green Force Gem, a Gold Skulltula Token, a White Skulltula Chitin, and the Twili Mace. Notable items on the Arcane Enchanter are a Black Soul Gem, a Beamos Dynamo, a Time-Worn Book, and a Cold Strong Box containing the Blue Page, Hibernal Crystal, and the Note on Crystal and Page.

This shrine houses 3 vampires; Two Hylian and 1 Gerudo. Upon being detected, a Blood Fairy will rise out of the pool of blood in the fountain and assist the vampires in combat against the player. The Gerudo Vampire holds the Staff of Weakening Winds and will not respawn, making this item harder to obtain (but not impossible) as the Hylian Mages will drop this in leveled loot as well.

## Background and Inspiration

The Haafingar Secret Grotto was implemented in version 5.2 of *Relics of Hyrule*.

In version 6.49, the grotto was expanded to include the Malicious Hollow, which itself was originally planned for the redesign of Kinolangdanzel. The expansion was refined in version 6.5, and 6.5.12. JKalenad plans to expand the grotto further in version 6.7.

The Haafingar Secret Grotto was designed to look virtually identical to the Kakariko Fairy Fountain and vice versa. The implication behind this design is that the secret grotto is a corrupted Fairy Fountain.
