You will need to progress through the game to find the right chasm leading into the depths, as well as defeat one of the game’s many boss enemies, before you can buy anything. Once all the conditions are met, you will be able to return to The Great Abandoned Central Mine whenever you find yourself in need of Crystallized Charges.

Updated by Chad Thesen on 29 June 2023: Newly published material has become available that will help readers understand more about the boss and where to fight other instances of them. There is also a guide that will show players how they may increase their batteries using these charges.

Great Plateau North Chasm

If you are looking at your map, loo to the south of Hyrule Field and zoom in. You should see Lake Kolomo on your map, and below this lake will be the Gatepost Town Ruins. South West of these ruins will be a chasm you can jump down. You will see the “Great Plateau North Chasm” when you approach it while traversing in the game.

Great Abandoned Central Mine

Once you have made your way down the chasm, you will see a room with a Lightroot. Passing through this room and heading straight will lead you to the Great Abandoned Central Mine. This location will be listed South West from where you dropped on your map with several markers.

Defeating Master Kohga

Before you can get any Crystallized Charges from here, you will need to defeat this boss. This boss appears several times in the game. If you have had fun making all sorts of vehicles using the game’s Fusion System, then this will put you on the opposite end of every enemy you have driven over in the game, as Master Kohga will come at you with a vehicle of their own.

To defeat them, you will just need to dodge his vehicle, shoot arrows to knock him off, and then use your best weapon to deal damage while he is on the ground. Later in the fight, his vehicle will become a lot more sturdy, you will need to lure him into hitting a wall when he charges, then climb up to deal damage.

Using The Forge

Inside The Great Abandoned Central Mine will be lots of shelves with Crystallized Charges. Approaching one of these shelves will begin an interaction with the vendors about how many you would like to buy.

Increasing Energy Wells

You can use these Crystallized Charges to increase the number of batteries displayed while using the many kinds of Zonai devices you will create along your journey.
