Where is the shrine hidden in the Necluda region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Necluda region is home to several shrines, one of which is the hidden shrine known as "Dah Hesho Shrine." This shrine is located near the Dueling Peaks and is part of the "A Minor Test of Strength" series, meaning it involves combat with a Guardian Scout. To find and complete this shrine, you will need to follow a series of steps and be prepared for the challenges ahead.

First, let's talk about the location. The Dah Hesho Shrine is hidden in the Necluda region, specifically near the Dueling Peaks. To reach it, you need to head to the area between the two peaks. The shrine is not immediately visible, as it is buried underground and requires you to solve a puzzle to reveal it. The puzzle involves finding and lighting three blue flames scattered around the area. These flames are located on pedestals, and you will need to use a torch or a fire-based weapon to carry the flame from the source to the pedestals.

To begin, you should prepare by ensuring you have a torch or a weapon that can carry fire. If you don't have a torch, you can find one in the nearby Dueling Peaks Stable. Additionally, it's a good idea to have some food or elixirs that restore health, as you may encounter enemies along the way. Once you're ready, head to the area between the Dueling Peaks and look for the three pedestals. The first pedestal is located near the entrance to the area, and the other two are further in, near the base of the peaks.

The first step is to light the torch or weapon at the source of the blue flame, which is located near the first pedestal. Once you have the flame, carefully carry it to the first pedestal and light it. Be cautious of any enemies in the area, as they can extinguish the flame if they attack you. After lighting the first pedestal, repeat the process for the other two. The second pedestal is located near a small pond, and the third is at the base of the northern peak.

Once all three pedestals are lit, the Dah Hesho Shrine will rise from the ground, revealing its entrance. Enter the shrine and prepare for the combat challenge inside. The shrine contains a Guardian Scout, which is a smaller version of the larger Guardians found throughout Hyrule. The Guardian Scout will attack with a variety of weapons, including a sword, spear, and laser. To defeat it, you will need to use a combination of dodging, parrying, and attacking.

One effective strategy is to use a shield to parry the Guardian Scout's laser attacks. When the Scout charges its laser, wait for the right moment to press the A button to perform a perfect parry, which will reflect the laser back at the Scout and deal significant damage. Additionally, you can use weapons with high durability and damage output to quickly deplete the Scout's health. Be sure to dodge its melee attacks by using the backflip or side-hop techniques to trigger a flurry rush, allowing you to land multiple hits in a row.

After defeating the Guardian Scout, you will receive a chest containing a weapon or shield, as well as the Spirit Orb from the shrine's monk. This Spirit Orb can be used to increase your health or stamina at a Goddess Statue.

In summary, finding and completing the Dah Hesho Shrine in the Necluda region involves solving a puzzle to reveal the shrine and then defeating a Guardian Scout in combat. Preparation is key, so make sure you have the necessary items and are ready for the challenges ahead. By following these steps and using effective combat strategies, you can successfully complete the shrine and earn your reward.
