What is the easiest way to reach the shrine hidden in the Akkala region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To reach the hidden shrine in the Akkala region in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to locate and complete the Dah Hesho Shrine, which is part of the "A Brother's Roast" shrine quest. This shrine is not visible on the map until you complete the quest, so it requires some exploration and interaction with NPCs to unlock. Here is a detailed guide to help you reach and complete this shrine.
First, you need to travel to the Akkala region, specifically to the area near the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. The shrine is located on a small island called Dah Hesho Island, which is northeast of the lab. To start the quest, you need to speak with a character named Nobiro, who is found near the cooking pot on the hill just outside the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. Nobiro will tell you about his brother, who is stranded on Dah Hesho Island and needs help. This conversation triggers the "A Brother's Roast" shrine quest.
Once the quest is active, you need to make your way to Dah Hesho Island. The island is surrounded by water, so you have a few options to reach it. The easiest way is to use a raft. There is a raft located near the shore, close to the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab. You can use a Korok Leaf to blow wind into the sail and propel the raft toward the island. Alternatively, if you have the Zora Armor or the ability to swim long distances, you can swim to the island, though this is more challenging due to the stamina requirements.
When you arrive on Dah Hesho Island, you will find Nobiro's brother, Jiro, who is roasting food over a fire. Jiro will explain that he needs to cook a specific dish to reveal the shrine. The dish required is a "Gourmet Meat and Seafood Fry," which consists of one piece of gourmet meat and one piece of hearty salmon. Gourmet meat can be obtained by hunting large animals like deer or moose, while hearty salmon can be found in the waters around the Akkala region, particularly in the rivers and lakes.
Once you have the ingredients, you need to cook them together in a cooking pot. If you do not have a cooking pot on the island, you can use the one near the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab or any other cooking pot you have access to. After cooking the dish, return to Jiro and give it to him. He will then reveal the Dah Hesho Shrine by lighting a fire that activates the shrine's pedestal.
The Dah Hesho Shrine itself is relatively straightforward. It involves a puzzle where you need to use fire to light torches and activate mechanisms. You will need to use a fire weapon or a flame arrow to light the torches in the correct order. The shrine rewards you with a Spirit Orb, which can be used to upgrade your health or stamina at a Goddess Statue.
Here are some important tips and considerations. Make sure you have enough stamina or stamina-restoring items if you plan to swim to the island. If you use a raft, keep an eye on your stamina as well, as paddling can be tiring. When hunting for gourmet meat, use stealth or a bow to avoid scaring the animals away. For hearty salmon, look for them in clear, cold waters, and use stealth to catch them easily.
Common mistakes to avoid include not having the necessary ingredients before starting the quest, which can waste time. Also, make sure to light the torches in the correct order inside the shrine to avoid getting stuck. Advanced techniques include using the Zora Armor to swim faster or using a horse to travel quickly between locations if you need to gather ingredients.
Alternative approaches include using the Cryonis rune to create ice blocks in the water to help you reach the island if you do not have a raft or the Zora Armor. You can also use the Revali's Gale ability to glide from a high point to the island if you have unlocked it.
In summary, reaching the Dah Hesho Shrine in the Akkala region involves completing the "A Brother's Roast" shrine quest by gathering ingredients, cooking a specific dish, and solving a simple puzzle. With the right preparation and strategy, this shrine can be easily accessed and completed, providing you with a valuable Spirit Orb for your journey.
