The Ambush in the Depths mission becomes accessible in Chapter 4 of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, following the completion of The Counterstrike objective.

This underground phase tasks players with piloting a Knight Construct to disrupt hostile forces beneath Hyrule as allied sages manage conflicts above ground. Designed for level 39 combatants, this stage presents heightened difficulty compared to previous challenges.

Strategies for Mastering the Depths Ambush

Loadout customization proves critical – utilize the Cannon for demolishing Stone Taluses and obstructions, deploy Frost Emitters to immobilize swarming foes, and activate Rockets for rapid crowd dispersion. Environmental awareness is paramount: fractured walls demand precise Cannon shots to avoid path blockages, while Rock Octoroks require constant vigilance against their surprise assaults.

Transitioning to the surface battle introduces the armored Black Hinox. Strategic targeting involves exploiting elemental weaknesses: lightning-based armaments for metal plating, incendiary strikes for wooden barriers. Execute perfect evasions to charge the Weak Point Gauge, enabling devastating special attacks when fully charged.

Resource management remains vital throughout – conserve Zonai energy reserves for critical engagements and prioritize crowd control devices when facing overwhelming numbers. Environmental exploration yields hidden collectibles, encouraging thorough area investigation before mission completion.

Mission Accomplishments and Progression

Successful completion generates substantial XP gains, enhancement components, and rare dismantled parts from formidable adversaries. While no unique rewards are guaranteed, persistent explorers may uncover concealed Korok Seeds scattered throughout the battlefield.
