Nihcayam Lightroot
About This Lightroot
Located deep beneath central Hyrule Field, Nihcayam marks a critical waypoint near one of the largest Poe clusters in the Depths. Over twenty Lesser Poes drift through the adjacent cavern, making this a prime farming stop. The lightroot itself is elevated on a natural rock shelf, requiring a short climb, and a Bargainer Statue sits nearby offering Depths-exclusive armor exchanges.
