How do I access the shrine hidden in the Tarrey Town area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To access the shrine hidden in the Tarrey Town area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to complete a specific side quest called "The Secret of the Cedars." This shrine, known as the Dah Hesho Shrine, is not visible on the map until you complete the quest. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this.

First, you need to have progressed far enough in the game to unlock Tarrey Town. Tarrey Town is a settlement that you help build as part of the "From the Ground Up" side quest. This quest starts in Hateno Village, where you meet Hudson, who is working on a house. After helping him, he moves to the Akkala region to start building Tarrey Town. You will need to assist him by recruiting workers from different races across Hyrule. Once Tarrey Town is fully built, you can proceed with the shrine quest.

The "The Secret of the Cedars" quest is given by Garill, a resident of Tarrey Town. He will mention a shrine hidden in the nearby cedar forest. To start the quest, talk to Garill, who can be found near the town's entrance. He will tell you about a shrine hidden in the forest and give you a hint about its location.

The shrine is located in the Cedar Forest, which is northeast of Tarrey Town. To reach the forest, head northeast from Tarrey Town, crossing the small bridge and following the path. The forest is dense with cedar trees, and the shrine is hidden among them. The exact location is marked by a small clearing with a stone pedestal. You will need to examine the pedestal to reveal the shrine.

Before heading to the forest, it is a good idea to prepare. Make sure you have a good supply of weapons, as there are enemies in the area. You may encounter Bokoblins and Moblins, so having a strong melee weapon and a bow with arrows is recommended. Additionally, bring some food or elixirs to restore health and stamina, as you may need to climb trees or fight enemies.

Once you reach the clearing with the stone pedestal, examine it to start the shrine quest. The pedestal will give you a riddle: "The trees in the forest are watching. They see all. Stand tall and proud before them, and the shrine will reveal itself." This riddle is the key to unlocking the shrine.

To solve the riddle, you need to stand in a specific spot in the clearing. Look for a tree with a distinctive shape or marking. Stand directly in front of this tree and face it. Then, use the Sheikah Sensor to detect the shrine. The shrine will appear once you are in the correct position.

A common mistake is not standing in the exact spot required by the riddle. If the shrine does not appear, try adjusting your position slightly. Move around the clearing and face different trees until the shrine is revealed. Patience is key, as it may take a few tries to find the correct spot.

An advanced technique is to use the environment to your advantage. Look for visual cues in the forest, such as the arrangement of trees or the shape of the clearing. These can help you identify the correct tree to face. Additionally, using the Sheikah Sensor can guide you to the shrine's location, but you still need to solve the riddle to make it appear.

If you are having trouble finding the shrine, consider using a guide or map to pinpoint the exact location. However, solving the riddle on your own can be more rewarding and immersive. Take your time to explore the forest and enjoy the process of discovery.

In summary, accessing the Dah Hesho Shrine in Tarrey Town involves completing the "The Secret of the Cedars" side quest. Talk to Garill in Tarrey Town to start the quest, then head to the Cedar Forest northeast of the town. Examine the stone pedestal in the clearing and solve the riddle by standing in the correct spot and facing the right tree. Prepare for combat and bring necessary supplies, and use the Sheikah Sensor to help locate the shrine. With patience and careful observation, you will reveal the hidden shrine and gain access to its challenges and rewards.
