How do I unlock the shrine in the Goron City region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To unlock the shrine in the Goron City region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to complete the Shae Loya Shrine, which is part of the "The Gut Check Challenge" shrine quest. This shrine is located near Goron City, but it is not immediately accessible. Instead, you must complete a specific challenge to reveal it. Here is a detailed guide on how to unlock and complete this shrine.

First, you need to reach Goron City, which is located in the Eldin region. This area is extremely hot, so you will need heat-resistant gear or elixirs to survive. You can purchase the Flamebreaker Armor set from the armor shop in Goron City, or you can cook elixirs using Fireproof Lizards and monster parts. Once you are prepared for the heat, head to the southern part of Goron City, where you will find a Goron named Rohan standing near a large rock formation. Speak to him to start the "The Gut Check Challenge" shrine quest.

Rohan will explain that you need to push a large boulder down a hill and into a target area to reveal the shrine. The boulder is located at the top of a hill to the east of Goron City. To reach it, you can either climb the hill or use the nearby minecart tracks. If you choose to use the minecart tracks, you will need to find a minecart and place it on the tracks. You can then use a bomb to propel the minecart forward, allowing you to ride it up the hill. Once you reach the top, you will find the large boulder.

To push the boulder, you need to use a combination of strength and precision. Stand behind the boulder and press the action button to push it. You will need to guide the boulder down the hill, avoiding obstacles and ensuring it stays on the correct path. The path is narrow and winding, so you will need to make small adjustments to keep the boulder on track. If the boulder falls off the path, you will need to start over.

As you guide the boulder down the hill, you will encounter several obstacles, including rocks and gaps in the path. You can use your weapons to break the rocks, but be careful not to hit the boulder too hard, as this can cause it to veer off course. If the boulder gets stuck, you can use a bomb to dislodge it, but again, be careful not to push it too far off the path.

Once you successfully guide the boulder into the target area, the Shae Loya Shrine will appear. Enter the shrine to complete the quest and receive your Spirit Orb. Inside the shrine, you will find a puzzle involving moving platforms and switches. Use the platforms to reach the higher levels and activate the switches to open the doors. The final challenge involves using the platforms to reach the monk and claim your reward.

Some important tips to keep in mind include saving your game before attempting the challenge, as it can be frustrating to start over if you make a mistake. Additionally, make sure you have plenty of stamina, as pushing the boulder and climbing the hill can be physically demanding. If you are having trouble with the minecart, consider using a different approach, such as climbing the hill directly.

In summary, unlocking the Shae Loya Shrine in the Goron City region requires completing "The Gut Check Challenge" shrine quest. This involves pushing a large boulder down a hill and into a target area, navigating obstacles and maintaining precision. With the right preparation and strategy, you can successfully reveal the shrine and claim your Spirit Orb.
