Dampe lives in a home alone in [[The Swamp]], the second stage of [[Near the Fields]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. Interestingly, his name is not spelled with an accent when he introduces himself. His house is found in the northwest of the graveyard, near a [[Moon Gate]], and it is surrounded by many [[Giant Ghini]].

When they enter, Dampe warns them about the dangers of being outside, and then he tells them a story about the [[Dark Mirror]].{{Ref|FSA|495|Dampe}} He is the only living person in the stage.
