Slightly offshore from the mainland of Iki Island, Saru Island has a bamboo strike raring to go, but you’ll need to get three bamboos to get it started. It is located in the southwest of Iki Island and is east of Saruiwa. The bamboo strike is on the most eastern part of Saru Island. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see a man with a bonfire. Once you’ve collected the bamboo, put it on the stool and strike.

Shipwreck Bamboo Strike

This location is northeast of Yahata Forest in the eastern section of Iki Island. This one is quite hidden. It’s on a cliff face overlooking the sea, but first, you’ll discover a slew of rocks blocking your path. Find a wooden structure blocking the pathway forwards and pull it down with your hook. Walk on through and you’ll find the bamboo strike.
