Spring of Power Guide — Akkala Sacred Spring & Dinraal Connection
Spring of Power — Akkala's Sacred Fire Spring
The Spring of Power lies in the northeast corner of Hyrule, in the Akkala region — the most remote of the three sacred springs. Dedicated to Din (goddess of Power) and connected to Ganondorf's Triforce piece, it is guarded by the presence of Dinraal, the Fire Dragon, who passes through the Akkala sky on its northern circuit. The spring is also surrounded by the ruins of an ancient Akkala shrine, making it one of the more visually dramatic sacred sites in the game.
Location
Northeast Akkala — Akkala Highlands, near Deep Akkala
| Route | Notes | |-------|-------| | From Akkala Citadel area | Head northeast past the citadel ruins | | From Akkala Ancient Tech Lab | East from the lab, follow the highland road | | Skyview Tower approach | Launch from Akkala Highlands tower, fly east |
The spring is within a set of ancient ruins at the highest point of the Akkala Highlands — you'll recognize the sacred spring basin surrounded by dragon-carved stone columns.
Dinraal at the Spring
Dinraal (the Fire Dragon) is the least commonly seen dragon for most players because it flies a northern circuit that takes it through Death Mountain, Eldin, and out into the Akkala sea before looping back. The Spring of Power is one of the more reliable intercept points:
Dinraal pass times at the spring: Most consistently around dawn when Dinraal comes around its northern arc.
What to farm here: | Part | Target | Best For | |------|--------|---------| | Dinraal Scale | Body scales (easiest) | Arrow fusion — fire piercing | | Dinraal Claw | Foot claws | Weapon fusion — fire damage | | Dinraal Fang | Mouth teeth | Arrow fusion — fire tracking | | Dinraal Horn | Head horn (hardest) | Highest attack bonus of all dragon parts |
Warning: Dinraal emits fire — wear Flamebreaker Armor (2+ pieces) or bring Fireproof Elixirs when farming nearby. Standing on Dinraal is safe with proper flame protection.
The Three Sacred Springs Quest
Like the Spring of Courage and Spring of Wisdom, the Spring of Power is part of a three-spring sidequest:
- Find the ancient tablet at the spring ruins
- Read it — mentions the three springs and their divine purpose
- Pray at the spring basin — spawns a reward chest
- After completing all three springs, the quest concludes
Spring of Power unique reward: Chest contains a Shard of Dinraal's Horn (rare horn fragment, highest fuse value of any dragon material) and a piece of the spring sacred armor set.
Ancient Ruins Exploration
The Spring of Power ruins are the most elaborate of the three springs — the Akkala ancients built a stone temple around the spring basin that is partially collapsed but still impressive. Inside:
- Ancient tablets describing the history of Power and the Gerudo royal line
- A sealed door that opens when you pray at the spring (contains a small chest)
- Visible Sheikah tech remnants (unusual for Akkala)
- 2 Large Poes in the ruin's inner chamber

Getting to Akkala Early
Akkala is one of the further regions from the starting area. Fastest early path:
- Lanayru Skyview Tower → fly north
- Downstream route from Zora's Domain northeast
- Eldin north road from Death Mountain area northeast
The Akkala region requires no specific gear beyond basic combat items — no elemental hazards at the spring itself.
Tips
- Combine with Akkala circuit: The spring visit pairs efficiently with Akkala citadel ruins, the Ancient Tech Lab, and the Akkala deep caves
- Flame resistance for Dinraal landing: If you want to land on Dinraal for horn farming, Flamebreaker ★★ is the minimum for comfort
- Wait for dawn: Dinraal's Akkala pass is most reliable at dawn — set up camp at the spring and sleep to skip to morning
- Deep Akkala Chasm: While in the area, the Deep Akkala Chasm drops into one of the most resource-rich sections of the Akkala Depths — combine spring visit with an underground run
- Arrow supply: Bring 25+ arrows for Dinraal farming — horn shots require multiple attempts to nail precisely
