Tarm Ruins

After you complete Unicorn's Cave, the Maku Tree says that he saw a vision of you going through vast ruins. He is referring to Tarm Ruins, which is locked and requires special treasures to open.

Get the Treasure Map

Go to the Subrosia Market. You can buy a silver card, called the Member's Card, for 5 ore chunks.

Now go to Horon Village and go into the shop. Go to the door behind the counter. The merchant will let you pass once he sees your Member's Card. Go through the door behind the counter and go downstairs. Buy a treasure map. You can also buy a bigger seed satchel and a Gasha Seed.

Now that you have the treasure map, when you press Select on the overworld to see the map, there are sparkles on it. There are hidden treasures at these locations that are required in order to enter Tarm Ruins.

Get the X-Shaped Jewel

Use the west exit of Horon Village and go south to the beach. Find the spot where there is a torch in the water. Light it with the slingshot and an Ember Seed. Cross the bridge that appears. Use a Mystery Seed on the question mark and it will turn into a Moldorm. Kill it and open the chest to get the X-Shaped Jewel.

Get the Round Jewel

Go to the entrance to Gnarled Root Dungeon (north of Impa's house) and go down the stairs south of the dungeon entrance. Swim west and south. Go up the stairs and into the tree. Talk to the old man to get the Round Jewel.
