Where is the shrine hidden in the Gerudo Desert Sand Seal Rally in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

The shrine hidden in the Gerudo Desert Sand Seal Rally in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is called the "Daqo Chisay Shrine." This shrine is part of the "The Perfect Drink" shrine quest, which requires you to complete the Sand Seal Rally mini-game. The shrine is not visible at first and only appears after you successfully complete the rally under specific conditions. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to find and unlock this shrine.

To begin, you need to travel to the Gerudo Desert. The Sand Seal Rally is located near the Southern Oasis, which is southwest of Gerudo Town. You will find a Gerudo woman named Liana standing near a flagpole. She is the one who runs the Sand Seal Rally. Speak to her to learn about the mini-game. The goal of the rally is to complete the course within a certain time limit while riding a Sand Seal. You will need to follow the flags placed in the desert, which mark the course.

Before starting the rally, itÔÇÖs important to prepare. You will need a Sand Seal to participate. You can rent one from Liana for 20 rupees, or you can catch your own Sand Seal in the desert. If you choose to catch your own, you will need a bow and arrows to stun the Sand Seal, then approach it to mount it. Once you have a Sand Seal, you can start the rally by speaking to Liana again.

The rally course is marked by flags, and you must follow them in order. The key to unlocking the shrine is to complete the rally in under 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This is a challenging task, as the desert terrain can be difficult to navigate, and the Sand Seal can be tricky to control. To improve your chances of success, make sure you have a good understanding of the course layout. You can practice the course a few times to get familiar with the turns and obstacles.

One important tip is to use the Gerudo Shield, which can be obtained in Gerudo Town. This shield allows you to shield surf on the sand, which is faster than running. Shield surfing can help you maintain speed and make sharp turns more easily. Additionally, using the Gerudo DesertÔÇÖs natural slopes to your advantage can give you a speed boost. Be mindful of the Molduga, a large sand-dwelling creature that can attack you during the rally. If you hear its roar, quickly move away to avoid being knocked off your Sand Seal.

Common mistakes include missing flags or taking wrong turns, which can cost you valuable time. ItÔÇÖs crucial to stay focused and follow the flags closely. Another mistake is not managing your stamina properly. If you run out of stamina while shield surfing, you will slow down significantly. Make sure to keep an eye on your stamina wheel and avoid unnecessary movements that drain it.

Advanced techniques involve using the environment to your advantage. For example, you can use the updrafts created by the desertÔÇÖs heat to glide over obstacles and save time. Additionally, using the Master Cycle Zero, if you have it, can make the rally easier, as it is faster and more maneuverable than a Sand Seal. However, this is only available if you have completed the "EX The Champions' Ballad" DLC.

Once you complete the rally in under 2 minutes and 30 seconds, Liana will congratulate you, and the Daqo Chisay Shrine will appear nearby. Enter the shrine to complete the quest and receive your Spirit Orb. The shrine itself is relatively straightforward, with a simple puzzle involving moving a ball through a maze using motion controls.

In summary, to unlock the Daqo Chisay Shrine, you need to complete the Sand Seal Rally in under 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Preparation, practice, and using the right equipment are key to success. By following the flags closely, managing your stamina, and using advanced techniques, you can achieve the required time and reveal the hidden shrine.
