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

In the Lanayru region of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one of the shrines that players often struggle to find is the Dagah Keek Shrine, which is hidden and requires completing a specific quest to unlock. This shrine is located near ZoraÔÇÖs Domain and is tied to the quest "The Ceremonial Song." Below is a detailed guide on how to find and unlock this shrine, along with tips and strategies to make the process easier.

To begin, you must first reach ZoraÔÇÖs Domain, which is located in the northeastern part of the Lanayru region. The easiest way to get there is by following the path from Kakariko Village or by paragliding from the nearby Lanayru Tower. Once you arrive in ZoraÔÇÖs Domain, speak to the Zora NPCs to learn about the shrine and the quest associated with it. Specifically, you need to talk to Laflat, a Zora who is standing near the throne room. She will tell you about the ceremonial trident and the shrine hidden behind the waterfall.

The shrine is located behind the East Reservoir Lake, which is east of ZoraÔÇÖs Domain. To access it, you need to perform a specific action involving the ceremonial trident. First, you must obtain the Ceremonial Trident, which is a weapon that can be found near the throne room in ZoraÔÇÖs Domain. It is located on a pedestal near the water. If you lose or break the trident, you can have it remade by speaking to Dento, the Zora blacksmith, who will craft a new one for you using Zora Spears and diamonds.

Once you have the Ceremonial Trident, head to the East Reservoir Lake. There is a platform with a glowing pedestal near the waterfall. Stand on the pedestal and perform a downward thrust attack with the Ceremonial Trident. This action will trigger the shrine to appear. The shrine, Dagah Keek, will emerge from the water, and you can enter it to complete the challenge inside.

The shrine itself is relatively straightforward, but it involves a combat trial. You will face a Guardian Scout wielding a spear. To defeat it, use your shield to parry its attacks or dodge to trigger a flurry rush. If you have strong weapons, you can also attack it directly. Once the Guardian Scout is defeated, you will receive a chest containing a Zora Spear and a Spirit Orb.

Here are some important tips and considerations for this quest. First, make sure you have enough health and weapons before attempting the shrine. The Guardian Scout can deal significant damage if you are not prepared. Second, if you lose the Ceremonial Trident, do not worry, as you can always have it remade by Dento. Third, if you are having trouble performing the downward thrust attack, practice on flat ground first to get the timing right.

A common mistake players make is not realizing that the Ceremonial Trident is required to unlock the shrine. Some players try to use other weapons or methods, but only the Ceremonial Trident will work. Another mistake is not having enough stamina or health to complete the shrine challenge. Make sure to cook meals that restore health or provide temporary boosts before entering the shrine.

For advanced players, you can optimize this quest by using the Zora Armor set, which allows you to swim up waterfalls. This can make traveling to the East Reservoir Lake faster and more efficient. Additionally, if you have the Master Sword or other high-damage weapons, the combat trial inside the shrine will be much easier.

In summary, the Dagah Keek Shrine in the Lanayru region is hidden behind a waterfall and requires completing the "The Ceremonial Song" quest. Obtain the Ceremonial Trident, perform a downward thrust on the pedestal near the East Reservoir Lake, and defeat the Guardian Scout inside the shrine to claim your Spirit Orb. With proper preparation and understanding of the mechanics, this shrine can be completed efficiently.
