Ancient Cistern

The Ancient Cistern is a dungeon located near Lake Floria in Skyward Sword. A giant stone statue sits at the center of the cavern. Water plays a vital role in the dungeon, which can be seen by the presence of streams, stream pools, water wheels and pipes full of high-pressure water. Dark purple water can be found deep inside the cistern where a crowd of zombie Bokoblin roam. The dungeon's main item is the Whip and its boss is Koloktos.

Navigation
Many of the pipes have openings that allow water to escape vertically. Link can ride these water currents to reach higher areas of the cistern. Some of these currents have to be activated by loosening valves with the Whip. The whip can also be used to swing across gaps in the temple.

Trivia
