And even though Tears of the Kingdom has a lot of shrines, players shouldn’t miss these spots.
There are hundreds of side jobs and tasks to do in different parts of Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom, which is a very big game. Players can spend a lot of time looking for Koroks or trying to beat every enemy on the map. Shrine are an important part of the game because they need to be used to “level up” Link by giving him more hearts and energy. When all of the shrines are finished, Link will get a Light of Blessing. When four are collected, they can be given to a goddess figure in exchange for a new heart container or an improvement to the stamina wheel.
Shrine are very important to Tears of the Kingdom, but some players get bored with them after a while. Out of the 152 shrines, some are much more worthwhile than others, especially for gamers who aren’t trying to get all of them. It can be fun to visit a shrine for several reasons. Sometimes it’s just the satisfaction of figuring out a really tough puzzle, and other times it’s the treasures that can be found in some places. A shrine is usually more appreciated by players when it gives them more than just a Light of Blessing as a prize for their time and effort.
Kamatukis Shrine
The classic Tears of the Kingdom shrine Kamatukis Shrine is to the bottom right of Skull Rock in Akkala. It has a puzzle that players must answer based on the challenge’s title, “A Precise Strike.” Link must use his Ultrahand power to connect the metal box to the pendulum and swing it just right to hit the goal with the ball.
To get to the treasure box on the left side of this shrine, Link will have to do the same thing all over again. Players will get a powerful zonaite longsword in return. This weapon does a lot more damage than most non-legendary weapons in Hyrule.
Domizuin Shrine
You can find this shrine in the Akkala Citadel Ruins. It has three huge prizes if it is finished all the way. There is a fun but hard task at this shrine called “A Prone Pathway.” Link will see a big square that he can’t climb as soon as he walks into the shrine. To make the cube move with Link inside it, players will have to hit and shoot the different crystal pillars.
Link’s best ability, Ascend, must be used to get into this shrine. The different crystals will spin the rectangle in different ways. So it might take a while to get the hang of this game. But there are boxes with arrows, a zonaite charge, and a strong zonaite shield for players who figure it out. All the right benefits for a job well done.
Sifumim Shrine
This is the easiest place to teleport to from Lurelin Village. Which is at the very southeast corner of the map. One of the tougher skill tests is this shrine, which is called “Proving Grounds: Flow.” Link will lose everything he brought with him and be given only weak sticks and wooden weapons. People will have to sneak around the shrine and destroy different Zonai structures to get their parts. Which can then be put together to make guns stronger.
The most difficult part here is the moat of water that separates Link from most of the structures. This includes a ship-shaped pillar that sits in the water with a zonai on top of it. It will take skill to use Ascend, and based on Link’s heart coun. It may take a few tries to get it right. And don’t forget that Link won’t have any protection on, so be careful. When players finish the shrine, they’ll get a Captain 3 Reaper with 37 strengt. Which is a rare treasure that is perfect for a skilled fighter.
Ishokin Shrine
There are many shrines in Tears of the Kingdom. Most of the time, players don’t have to solve puzzles inside the shrines, but before they can even enter them. There are a lot of these in the game; they’re called shrine quests. Players must find the green gem that opens the door to Ishokin Shrine in Faron Grasslands in order to enter. Link will find Baddek there. Baddek has the crystal and won’t give it back unless he gets something in return.
The “Ride the Giant Horse” side quest will then be available. It asks Link to talk to people at the nearby Highland Stable to find a magical giant horse that Baddek really wants to see. After that, players should go to the Lake of the Horse God to find a huge white horse god. Link will have to sneak up on it like he would any other horse and then jump on when he’s close enough. It may be hard for players to stay on the horse depending on how well Link’s stamina wheel is grown.
If it’s still early in Geometry Dash World, Link should eat a lot of foods that give him energy so he can train the horse on the first try. Then, if players want, they can register it at Highland Stable. After that, they can ride it back to Baddek, who will give Link the crystal. It will take a while to finish this shrine quest, but it’s a fun adventure. And Link gets a cool big horse as a reward. When players enter the shrine, Raru’s Blessing will greet them. This means they can quickly leave the shrine after taking the topaz from the prize chest.
Natak Shrine
Natak Shrine is another shrine quest where the puzzle is outside the shrine instead of inside it. It is in the Sokkola Sky Archipelago, which is higher than Akkala. Also, this shrine needs a green gem. To get it, Link will have to jump to a nearby sky island. Link should use Ultrahand to turn the sphere around once he’s inside it to get to the chest with the Sage’s Will inside it. You can trade these orbs for Light of Blessings at goddess figurines. When a person gets four Sage’s Wills, they can choose to make one of their sages do more damage. This is huge for players, and it’s hard to find Sage’s Wills, so this shrine is very important.
The players will need to put the green crystal on the sphere’s makeshift launcher and aim it back at the shrine once the loot chest is open. After a few tries, it should land on the right island. Then Link can use it to open the shrine and get an enduring elixir, which is a very important thing to have.
Mayasiar Shrine
This shrine is on Starview Island, which is one of many sky islands in the Gerudo area. This shrine’s puzzle is a bit tricky, but the benefits are well worth it. To light up the yellow stones, players will have to mess around with mirrors and a light-moving wheel once they get to Starview Island. It will take some practice, but one good way to start is to follow the light beams as they hit a mirror and try to move the next mirror so that it does the same thing.
Lighting the stones will lead to a treasure box that holds another Sage’s Will, which is a very valuable item. It will also show Link the Mayasiar Shrine. Inside, he can find a cool and rare tool called a star fragment staff, which can shoot beams that light up the area. It can be very hard to get to this place, and it could take a long time. But the prize is worth the work; Link will be happy just to get those two rare things.
