Dampé's Journal! is an Object in Echoes of Wisdom.[1]
Overview
Dampé's Journal! is a Book that can be found inside Dampé Studio. It belongs to Dampé, who uses it to store his designs and notes about Automatons.[2] At the end of the Side Quest "Automaton Engineer Dampé", he allows Princess Zelda to peruse his Journal for any Automatons she may be interested in.[3]
Initially, Zelda is only able to read the the Journal's first entry, which begins the "Explosions Galore!" Side Quest. After completing this Automaton, the entries corresponding to "Performance Artist!", "Endless Stomach!", and "Chop 'em in Two!" become available as well. If Zelda reads one of these entries, she will be unable to read the other two until she completes its respective Side Quest. The entry related to "Get Rich Quick!" becomes available once the previous three Automatons have been finished.
When Zelda reads an entry for the first time, it will be updated with information about the Monster and Object that Dampé needs to see to finalize the Automaton's design. In addition, once the Side Quest related to an entry has been completed, Zelda will not be able to go back and read it again. After all of the Automatons have been completed, Dampé's Journal! is updated to express his satisfaction.[4]
