How do I access the shrine hidden in the Necluda region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To access the shrine hidden in the Necluda region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you will need to locate and solve the "Dah Hesho Shrine," which is part of the "A Modest Test of Strength" shrine quest. This shrine is hidden in the Necluda region, specifically near the Rabia Plain, which is east of Kakariko Village. The shrine is not immediately visible, as it is buried underground and requires you to complete a specific task to reveal it. Here is a detailed guide on how to access and complete this shrine.

First, you need to reach the Rabia Plain, which is a large, open area filled with trees, grass, and a few enemies. The shrine is located near a small pond in this area. To find the exact spot, look for a large, flat rock with a circular pattern on the ground. This rock is the key to revealing the shrine. You will need to place a specific object on this rock to trigger the shrine's appearance.

The object you need is a rock. Specifically, you need to find a large, round rock that can be found nearby. These rocks are often found in clusters around the area, and you can use your Magnesis ability to locate them if they are metallic. Once you find a suitable rock, carry it to the circular pattern on the ground. You can either carry it by hand or use Magnesis if the rock is metallic. Place the rock on the circular pattern, and the shrine will rise from the ground.

Once the shrine is revealed, you can enter it and begin the "A Modest Test of Strength" challenge. This type of shrine is a combat trial where you face off against a Guardian Scout. The Guardian Scout is equipped with a variety of weapons, including a sword, spear, and laser attacks. To defeat it, you will need to use a combination of dodging, parrying, and attacking. Make sure you have a good supply of weapons, shields, and healing items before entering the shrine.

During the battle, the Guardian Scout will use a series of attacks. It will often charge at you with its sword or spear, which you can dodge by performing a backflip or side hop. Timing your dodges correctly will allow you to perform a Flurry Rush, which lets you land multiple hits on the enemy. The Guardian Scout will also fire laser beams at you, which you can either dodge or parry with your shield. Parrying the laser beams requires precise timing, but it can reflect the attack back at the Guardian Scout, dealing significant damage.

After defeating the Guardian Scout, you will be rewarded with a chest containing a strong weapon, such as a Guardian Sword or Guardian Spear. You will also receive a Spirit Orb, which can be used to upgrade your health or stamina at a Goddess Statue.

Some important tips and considerations for this shrine include making sure you have enough weapons and shields, as the Guardian Scout can be tough to defeat if you are not prepared. It is also a good idea to have some healing items, such as cooked meals or elixirs, to restore your health during the battle. Additionally, practicing your dodging and parrying skills before entering the shrine can make the fight much easier.

Common mistakes to avoid include not having enough weapons or shields, which can leave you defenseless during the battle. Another mistake is not timing your dodges or parries correctly, which can result in taking unnecessary damage. It is also important to avoid getting too close to the Guardian Scout when it is about to perform a spinning attack, as this can deal a lot of damage.

Advanced techniques for this shrine include using elemental weapons or arrows to deal extra damage to the Guardian Scout. For example, using shock arrows can stun the enemy, giving you an opportunity to land multiple hits. You can also use bombs to create distance between you and the Guardian Scout, allowing you to heal or reposition yourself.

Required items and preparation for this shrine include a variety of weapons, shields, and healing items. It is also helpful to have some arrows, especially elemental ones, to deal extra damage. If you are low on resources, you can gather materials from the surrounding area or purchase items from nearby shops.

Alternative approaches to this shrine include using stealth to avoid detection by the Guardian Scout, although this is not always effective. You can also use the environment to your advantage, such as hiding behind pillars or using the terrain to block the Guardian Scout's attacks.

In summary, accessing the Dah Hesho Shrine in the Necluda region involves finding and placing a large rock on a circular pattern to reveal the shrine. Once inside, you will face a Guardian Scout in a combat trial. By preparing with the right weapons, shields, and healing items, and by mastering dodging and parrying, you can successfully complete the shrine and earn a Spirit Orb.
