Where is the shrine hidden in the Gerudo Desert Secret Club in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

The shrine hidden in the Gerudo Desert Secret Club is called the "Daqo Chisay Shrine," and it is part of the "The Secret Club's Secret" shrine quest. This shrine is unique because it is not visible on the surface and requires specific steps to unlock. Below is a detailed guide on how to find and access this shrine, along with tips and strategies to make the process easier.

To begin, you must first reach Gerudo Town, which is located in the Gerudo Desert region of Hyrule. Gerudo Town is unique because it only allows female characters to enter. Since Link is male, you will need to disguise yourself as a woman by obtaining the Gerudo outfit. This outfit consists of the Gerudo Veil, Gerudo Top, and Gerudo Sirwal, which can be purchased from the clothing shop in Kara Kara Bazaar, located just outside Gerudo Town. Once you have the outfit, equip it and enter Gerudo Town.

Inside Gerudo Town, you will need to locate the Secret Club. The Secret Club is a hidden area where the Gerudo women gather to relax and share secrets. To find it, head to the northwest corner of the town, near the jewelry shop. Look for a small alleyway with a door that has a glowing eye symbol. This is the entrance to the Secret Club. However, the door is locked, and you will need a password to enter.

To obtain the password, you must eavesdrop on a conversation between two Gerudo women. These women can be found near the bar in the center of town, close to the Noble Canteen. Stand near them and listen to their conversation. They will mention the password, which is "GSCÔÖª." Once you have the password, return to the Secret Club door and speak to the guard. Enter the password, and the door will open.

Inside the Secret Club, you will find a group of Gerudo women relaxing. Speak to the woman named Rotana, who is sitting near the back of the room. She will tell you about a hidden shrine beneath the club and give you the "The Secret Club's Secret" shrine quest. To access the shrine, you need to find a way to open the floor of the club.

The key to opening the floor is to use a sand seal. Sand seals are creatures that can be found in the Gerudo Desert and are used for sand surfing. To proceed, leave the Secret Club and head to the northern part of Gerudo Town. There, you will find a sand seal rental shop run by a woman named Patricia. Rent a sand seal and return to the Secret Club.

Once you have the sand seal, go back inside the Secret Club and stand near the center of the room. Use the sand seal to create a gust of wind by running in a circle. This will cause the floor to open, revealing the hidden Daqo Chisay Shrine below. Drop down into the shrine to begin the challenge.

The Daqo Chisay Shrine is a minor test of strength, meaning you will face a Guardian Scout III. This enemy is moderately strong and uses a variety of attacks, including melee strikes and energy beams. To defeat it, use your best weapons and shields, and be prepared to dodge and parry its attacks. Once the Guardian Scout is defeated, you will receive a chest containing a weapon and a Spirit Orb.

Some important tips to consider: Make sure you have enough weapons and shields before entering the shrine, as the Guardian Scout can be tough to defeat if you are unprepared. Additionally, if you do not have a sand seal, you can also use a bomb to create a gust of wind, though this method is less reliable. Finally, if you are having trouble finding the Secret Club, look for the glowing eye symbol on the door, as it is a clear indicator of its location.

In summary, accessing the Daqo Chisay Shrine in the Gerudo Desert Secret Club involves obtaining the Gerudo outfit, eavesdropping on a conversation to get the password, renting a sand seal, and using it to open the floor of the club. With the right preparation and strategy, you can successfully complete this shrine quest and earn a valuable Spirit Orb.
