I ran into a White Lynel last night in the Depths, avoid. Giant resource drain at my starter gear / stage / 4 heart exploration trek lol. It takes 20 bombs just to break its shield, 6 dmg boulder hammer doesn't move the bar either. They are quite dumb though, can just keep shooting bombs at it from above or confuse it with puff shrooms. (But it will wildly lash out anyway) It did finally notice me when I aborted the mission, just about to reload to get my stuff back, and started shooting arrow folleys at me. I hid under an overhang in a pipe kind of thing which stopped most arrows but one still glitched through the ceiling and insta killed me lol.

Bows, bombs and puff shrooms back, mark the location for later or never. I guess the things they drop are for some recipe at the fairy fountains which I'll get to in a couple months haha. Still at 35% ish Depths explored. On my way to the NW corner.

There's precisely one Lynel in game you'll meet you have to tackle... and you already have the tool to easily deal with it. ;)

Ultra hand?

There are places I can't go in the Depths, I found the lava falls, too hot and no cooling food or cooling gear to be found down here. I tried cooking with ice like like stones, ice keese eye balls etc but it all fails to make an elixir. So I looked it up and yep all ingredients for cooling food/elixirs are only up top as well as the gear.

I ran into another giant arena, this one with just some random ice blocks on it. I melted them again with a flame thrower but nothing happens. There are also big circles with 4 purple glowing trees around them, also no idea what for. I assume there are quests that send you down here for all those things. I keep running into 'researchers' I guess since I activated the photo quest to enter the depths with. It doesn't advance the quest though and they all turn into Yiga fanatics trying to kill me lol. The Yiga quest triggered itself when I ran into master Khoga the first time. I defeated him twice but now he moved to the NE side, I'm still making my way to the NW corner.

There is also a spot that's completely ringed by walls. Seems that's only accessible from up top and not connected to the rest of the depths. I marked where it is on the Hyrule map so can find it later. No Sidecend ability to bore through those walls :p Lemme get my terrain manipulator from NMS and dig a tunnel through :)
