What is the best way to locate the shrine hidden in the Ridgeland region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

The shrine hidden in the Ridgeland region of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is called Mijah Rokee Shrine, and it is part of the "A Modest Test of Strength" series. Locating this shrine can be a bit tricky because it is not immediately visible and requires solving a puzzle to reveal it. Here is a detailed guide to help you find and access the shrine.

To begin, you need to head to the Ridgeland region, which is located northwest of Hyrule Castle. The shrine is situated on a small plateau near the Ridgeland Tower. The plateau is surrounded by water, and the shrine itself is hidden beneath the ground, requiring you to complete a specific task to make it appear. The key to revealing the shrine is to light four torches located on the plateau. These torches are arranged in a specific pattern, and lighting them in the correct order will cause the shrine to rise from the ground.

First, you need to prepare for this task. Make sure you have a fire source, such as a fire arrow, a flame weapon, or a torch. If you donÔÇÖt have any of these, you can use a wooden weapon and light it on fire using a nearby campfire or a fire source. Additionally, itÔÇÖs a good idea to have some stamina-restoring food or elixirs, as you may need to climb or swim to reach the plateau. If you havenÔÇÖt already activated the Ridgeland Tower, you should do so first, as it will make navigating the area much easier.

Once you are prepared, head to the plateau. You can reach it by climbing or using the nearby land bridges. When you arrive, you will notice four torches arranged in a square pattern. The torches are positioned at the four corners of the plateau, and each one is marked by a small stone pedestal. Your goal is to light all four torches in the correct order. The order is not random; you need to light the torches in the sequence of the constellations depicted on the pedestals.

To determine the correct order, examine the pedestals closely. Each pedestal has a constellation carved into it, and these constellations correspond to the four cardinal directions: north, east, south, and west. The order in which you light the torches should follow the sequence of the constellations from left to right. For example, if the constellations on the pedestals are arranged in the order of north, east, south, and west, you should light the torches in that same order.

Once you have identified the correct sequence, light the torches one by one using your fire source. If you light them in the wrong order, the torches will extinguish, and you will need to start over. Be careful not to take too long between lighting the torches, as they may also extinguish if too much time passes. If you are using a torch or a wooden weapon, make sure to keep it lit by periodically reigniting it if necessary.

After successfully lighting all four torches in the correct order, the ground will shake, and the Mijah Rokee Shrine will rise from the ground. You can then enter the shrine and complete the "A Modest Test of Strength" challenge, which involves defeating a Guardian Scout. This Guardian Scout is equipped with a variety of weapons, including a sword, spear, and laser beam. To defeat it, use your best weapons and shields, and be prepared to dodge its attacks. You can also use the environment to your advantage by hiding behind pillars or using the shrineÔÇÖs layout to avoid its laser attacks.

Once you have defeated the Guardian Scout, you will receive a chest containing a weapon or shield, and you can claim your Spirit Orb. This shrine is a great way to test your combat skills and earn valuable rewards.

In summary, to locate and access the Mijah Rokee Shrine in the Ridgeland region, you need to light four torches in the correct order based on the constellations depicted on the pedestals. Prepare by bringing a fire source and stamina-restoring items, and be ready to face a Guardian Scout inside the shrine. By following these steps and paying attention to the details, you can successfully reveal and complete the shrine, earning a Spirit Orb and valuable loot in the process.
