• After talking to Sahasrahla, head east towards the location marked on your map.
• Cross the bridge to the east of the castle with an electric enemy.
• Head south past the dirt mounds and octopi, then east on the path.
• Take the first northern pathway. Keep north until you see bow symbols and Ravio signs. Read the sign.
  

Heading Back Home Guide

• Head back home to Ravio, the house directly south of the castle. You can place a pin on the map for future reference.
• Once you talk to Ravio, he will ask what symbol you saw. Select the bow and he will explain the rental system after giving you a rental bow.
• Items needed to progress through dungeons can be rented from Ravio. They usually cost, but this time it is free.
• After you leave the house, a gauge will appear on the left side of your screen. Every time you use a rental item, the gauge decreases. It will replenish over time.
