Missing Crystal Ball

Location: Sparrot's house at East Skyloft

Prerequisites: Must defeat The Imprisoned for the second time and have the Clawshot

Once you've returned to Skyloft after battling the Imprisoned for the second time, you should head to the eastern part of town and talk to the fortune teller Sparrot at his house. He'll tell you that he needs a new crystal ball. If you remember correctly, there is an object that looks like a crystal ball above the entrance to the Earth Temple at Eldin Volcano. Land at the entrance of the temple, Clawshot yourself above the entrance, and have Scrapper return the crystal ball to Skyloft for you.

For details on the rest, be sure to read our Gratitude Crystal quest roundup, including walkthroughs for each one, locations for individual Gratitude Crystals, and the rewards you can get from exchanging them.
