A mysterious rain falls over Scrubton, and a puzzled Deku Scrub is convinced a monster’s croak is to blame. In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the “Rain-Making Monster” quest sends Zelda deep into the Faron Wetlands, where the line between weather and myth blurs-and only the elusive, frog-like Drippitune holds the key to unraveling the stormy secret.
How to start the ’The Rain-Making Monster’ side quest
To start the “The Rain-Making Monster” side quest in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, head to Scrubton, the main settlement in the Faron Wetlands. Look for a Deku Scrub standing alone on a wooden platform on the west side of the village, easily identified by the speech bubble and red exclamation point above its head, signaling a side quest is available. Simply speak to this Deku Scrub to begin the quest-no special requirements are needed aside from having completed the Hyrule Castle dungeon, as Faron Wetlands quests only unlock after that point.
To start “The Rain-Making Monster,” head to Scrubton, which is south of Faron Wetlands’ Sweet Spot. Right in the center of the village, there’s a Scrub standing on a platform with a side quest for you. Talk to them, and they’ll ask to see a monster that makes it rain, beginning the quest.
’The Rain-Making Monster’ walkthrough and solution
To complete “The Rain-Making Monster” quest in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, head to Scrubton in the Faron Wetlands and speak with the Deku Scrub standing on a raised platform at the village’s west end. The Deku Scrub, curious about the cause of sudden rain, will ask you to find the creature responsible for the weather change. The monster in question is the Drippitune, a blue, frog-like creature found throughout the Faron Wetlands-often identified by its croaking sound and the onset of rain nearby. Defeat a Drippitune to obtain its Echo, then return and summon it in front of the Deku Scrub. This will trigger a cutscene and complete the quest, rewarding you with eight Electro Apples, which can be used to craft electricity-proof smoothies for future challenges in the region.
To complete “The Rain-Making Monster,” you have to present the Scrub with a drippitune.
If you don’t have the Echo yet, head east from Scrubton and take the first road south. Take it past the first intersection and keep heading south until the path turns to the west. A little bit over from there, you’ll find the Hidden Ruins.
There are two tall braziers here, but it’s always raining, so you can’t light them. Look in the pond behind the braziers for a pair of blue, singing frogs – drippitunes.
Kill both of the drippitunes and light the braziers to open a path. Inside, you’ll find a treasure chest. That’s not the real reward, though – that is the knowledge that whenever drippitunes are singing (with the colorful notes coming out of their mouths), they make it rain and, more importantly, make it so you can’t start fires. This is going to come up a lot.
Once you’ve learned the Drippitune Echo, head back to the scrub in the middle of Scrubton and show her a drippitune. You’ll get a smoothie ingredient as a reward.
What secrets does the Drippitune hold in unlocking the Rain-Making Monster quest
The Drippitune is key to unlocking the secrets of the Rain-Making Monster quest in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This amphibious, frog-like creature possesses a unique power: its croaking song can summon rain from a clear sky, which is the phenomenon puzzling the Deku Scrub in Scrubton. To solve the quest, Zelda must locate and defeat a Drippitune in the Faron Wetlands to obtain its Echo-a magical imprint that allows her to summon the creature at will. Presenting the Drippitune Echo to the Deku Scrub triggers rainfall, confirming the monster’s role in the mysterious weather and completing the quest. As a reward, Zelda receives a bundle of Electro Apples for unveiling the Drippitune’s rain-making secret.
What does learning the Drippitune echo reveal about its rain-making ability
Learning the Drippitune echo reveals that this creature’s croaking song is directly responsible for summoning rain, even on a sunny day. When Zelda uses the Drippitune Echo, the Drippitune appears and begins to croak, instantly causing rain to fall-confirming the Deku Scrub’s suspicion that the monster’s sound is tied to the weather change. This not only solves the mystery for the Deku Scrub but also demonstrates the Drippitune’s unique rain-making ability, which can then be used strategically throughout the game, such as combining rain with electric echoes to shock enemies.
