How do I access the shrine hidden in the Eldin region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To access the shrine hidden in the Eldin region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to locate and solve the "Shora Hah Shrine," which is part of the "The Gut Check Challenge" shrine quest. This shrine is located in the Eldin region, specifically in the Goron City area. The shrine is hidden behind a large rock wall, and accessing it requires completing a specific challenge. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this.
First, you need to reach Goron City, which is located in the Eldin region. To get there, you must travel through the Eldin Canyon and cross the Bridge of Eldin. Be prepared for the extreme heat in this area, as it can damage Link if you are not properly equipped. You will need either fire-resistant armor, such as the Flamebreaker Set, or elixirs that provide fire resistance. The Flamebreaker Set can be purchased in Goron City, but if you donÔÇÖt have enough rupees, you can also cook elixirs using Fireproof Lizards and monster parts.
Once you arrive in Goron City, head to the northern part of the city, near the Goron Hot Springs. You will find a Goron named Kabetta standing near a large rock wall. Speak to him, and he will tell you about the "Gut Check Challenge." This challenge involves breaking through the rock wall to reveal the hidden shrine. Kabetta will give you a hint that you need to use a cannon to break the wall.
To complete the challenge, you need to find and operate a nearby cannon. The cannon is located just south of the rock wall, near the edge of the cliff. Approach the cannon and interact with it to load a round bomb. You can find round bombs in the area or use your own if you have them. Once the cannon is loaded, you need to aim it at the rock wall. Adjust the angle of the cannon by interacting with it and rotating it until it is aimed directly at the wall.
After aiming the cannon, light the fuse to fire the bomb. The bomb will explode on impact, breaking the rock wall and revealing the entrance to the Shora Hah Shrine. Be careful when firing the cannon, as the explosion can also damage Link if he is too close. Stand at a safe distance before lighting the fuse.
Once the wall is destroyed, enter the shrine to begin the challenge. The Shora Hah Shrine is a combat trial, so be prepared for a fight. You will face a Guardian Scout IV, which is a powerful enemy with a variety of attacks. Make sure you have strong weapons, shields, and armor before entering the shrine. It is also a good idea to bring healing items, such as hearty meals or fairies, in case you take damage during the fight.
During the combat trial, focus on dodging the Guardian Scout's attacks and countering with your own. Use your shield to deflect its laser beams, and aim for its weak points to deal maximum damage. If you have any ancient weapons or arrows, they are particularly effective against Guardians. Once you defeat the Guardian Scout, you will receive a Spirit Orb as a reward.
Some important tips and considerations for this challenge include making sure you have enough fire resistance to survive the heat in the Eldin region. If you donÔÇÖt have the Flamebreaker Set, you can cook fireproof elixirs using Fireproof Lizards and monster parts. Additionally, be careful when operating the cannon, as the explosion can damage Link if he is too close. Stand at a safe distance before firing.
A common mistake to avoid is not having enough fire resistance, which can lead to Link taking damage from the heat. Another mistake is not aiming the cannon correctly, which can result in the bomb missing the rock wall. Take your time to adjust the cannonÔÇÖs angle before firing.
An advanced technique you can use is to bring a few extra round bombs in case you miss the first shot. This will save you time from having to find more bombs. You can also use the environment to your advantage by positioning yourself in a way that minimizes the risk of taking damage from the explosion.
In terms of required items and preparation, you will need fire-resistant gear or elixirs, strong weapons and shields for the combat trial, and healing items. If you donÔÇÖt have the Flamebreaker Set, you can purchase it in Goron City or cook fireproof elixirs. Make sure you have enough rupees if you plan to buy the armor.
An alternative approach to this challenge is to use a bomb arrow to break the rock wall instead of using the cannon. However, this method requires precise aim and may not be as reliable as using the cannon. Additionally, bomb arrows are expensive and can be difficult to obtain in large quantities.
In summary, accessing the Shora Hah Shrine in the Eldin region involves completing the "Gut Check Challenge" by using a cannon to break through a rock wall. Prepare by obtaining fire-resistant gear or elixirs, strong weapons, and healing items. Operate the cannon carefully to avoid taking damage, and be ready for a combat trial inside the shrine. With the right preparation and strategy, you can successfully complete this challenge and earn a Spirit Orb.
