In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, you’ll eventually make it to the Gerudo Desert, where Zelda must clear some rifts as part of the ‘A Rift in the Gerudo Desert‘ main questline.
If you’re looking for a guide on how to clear the Stilled Desert Temple Ruins and find Tri’s five friends, we have the info here.
Stilled Desert Temple Ruins Walkthrough – Echoes of Wisdom
Once you enter the ruins, head to the platform to the north, walk over the fallen tree and then enter the staircase on the right.
Tri Friend Location #1
This will take you to a 2D segment of Echoes of Wisdom, where you’ll find yellow platforms with eyes that move up and down. Make your way left, and you’ll see Tri’s friend trapped in a purple substance. However, there will be two yellow platforms on top of each other, making it hard to reach Tri.
Fortunately, you can use your Bind move with the X button to pull one of the platforms away. You can slide it wherever you like –as long as the second platform is out of the way. Now, you should be able to hop on the single platform on the left and get carried up to Tri’s friend.
Tri Friend Location #2
Leave the underground area and hop towards the large floating chunk of land to the right. You’ll see a piranha swimming sideways in the sand. Hop on the platforms near the fish and use some beds to make your way to the upper platform.
When you reach the top, walk to the right to find a lone isle with a boulder emanating purple energy. Use some beds to reach the far-out platform. Just push the rock to find Tri’s friend.
Tri Friend Location #3
Head to the left of the previous location until you can jump on a new piece of land. From there, head north to find another sand wall turned on its side. We used a combination of bed and trampoline Echoes to reach the top of the structure and then just fell on top of Tri’s friend on the bottom-left side of the area.
Tri Friend Location #4
Now, head left from the previous Tri location to find one on top of a tree trunk. We simply used two beds and a trampoline to reach this one.
Tri Friend Location #5
And for the last Tri location in the Stilled Desert Temple Ruins, you just have to head south from the fourth friend. You’ll find a tall pillar with the last friend on top, but it’s too high to use beds and trampolines. There are definitely easier ways to do this, but we managed to reach it by using some beds from the cliff to the right –it’s basically the starting area of the Ruins.
Get a nice running start, and use Zelda’s spin (R button) to help you gain some height.
Once you find all of Tri’s friends in the Stilled Desert Temple Ruins, you’ll get
two Might Crystals
