Automatons are robots that you can use during combat in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. While these are a handy piece of equipment in battle, you’ll have to unlock the ability to use them first.
There are a limited number of Automatons that you’ll be able to use in the game, and there are a few steps that you need to execute to get them.
So, here’s a list of all the Automatons in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and how you can get them.
How to unlock all Automatons in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
In Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, Automatons are locked behind a side quest called the ‘Automaton Engineer Dampé’ mission. You’ll be able to access this mission only after you’ve complete the Hyrule Castle Dungeon.
Once you’ve done that, you’ll unlock your first Automaton, and will get the ability to use them in combat. That said, here’s a list of all the Automatons and how you can get them.
| Automaton | Ability | Mission | Requirement |

How to use Automatons
When it comes to Automatons, there are two things that you need to know:
- First of all, to use Automatons, you’ll need to wind them up before you can use them. This will take some time, so make sure you get to a safe spot before you can use them. It’s also important to know when to use them, so analyse the activity you’re about to head into before you use them.
- More often than not, after you’ve used an Automaton in a fight in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, they’ll break. And to fix them, you’ll have to go back to Dampé and use Monster stones to fix it.
Some Automatons come with different debuffs too, so be sure to choose the ones carefully based on the mission you’re heading into.
