How do I find the shrine hidden in the Thyphlo Ruins in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

The Thyphlo Ruins shrine, known as the "Shrouded Shrine," is one of the more challenging shrines to find in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild due to its unique environmental conditions. The Thyphlo Ruins are located in the northern part of Hyrule, directly north of the Korok Forest and west of Death Mountain. The area is shrouded in complete darkness, making navigation difficult without proper preparation. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to find and complete the Shrouded Shrine.

First, you need to prepare for the journey to the Thyphlo Ruins. The most important item you will need is a source of light. The easiest way to navigate the darkness is by using a torch, which can be found in various locations throughout Hyrule. You can also use weapons that emit light, such as the Flameblade or the Great Flameblade. Additionally, carrying a few fire arrows or a fire rod can help you light torches along the way. ItÔÇÖs also a good idea to bring some food or elixirs that restore stamina, as you may need to climb or run to avoid enemies.

Once you arrive at the Thyphlo Ruins, you will notice that the area is completely dark. The shrine is located in the center of the ruins, but you will need to navigate through the darkness to find it. Start by lighting a torch or using a light-emitting weapon to illuminate your surroundings. As you move through the ruins, you will encounter several torches that you can light to create a path. Follow these torches to guide you to the shrine.

One common mistake players make is rushing through the ruins without properly lighting the torches. This can lead to getting lost or running into enemies unprepared. Take your time and light each torch as you go. This will not only help you navigate but also provide a safe path back if needed. Another mistake is not bringing enough light sources. If your torch goes out or your weapon breaks, you may find yourself stranded in the dark. Always have a backup plan, such as carrying multiple torches or light-emitting weapons.

As you progress through the ruins, you will encounter several enemies, including Keese and Stal enemies. These enemies can be challenging to deal with in the dark, so itÔÇÖs important to stay alert. Use your light sources to spot them from a distance and take them out before they get too close. If you have a shield, you can use it to block their attacks and create an opening for a counterattack. Alternatively, you can use stealth to avoid them altogether by crouching and moving slowly.

Once you reach the center of the ruins, you will find the Shrouded Shrine. Interact with the shrine to activate it and enter. Inside, you will face a series of puzzles that require you to use light to solve them. The first puzzle involves lighting a series of torches in the correct order. Use your torch or light-emitting weapon to light the torches as indicated by the patterns on the walls. The second puzzle requires you to use a mirror to reflect light onto a sensor. Position the mirror so that it reflects the light from a nearby torch onto the sensor to open the door.

The final puzzle involves navigating a maze in complete darkness. Use your light sources to illuminate the path and avoid falling into pits. Once you reach the end of the maze, you will face a Guardian Scout. Use your weapons and shields to defeat it and claim your Spirit Orb.

In summary, finding and completing the Shrouded Shrine in the Thyphlo Ruins requires careful preparation and navigation. Bring plenty of light sources, take your time to light the torches, and stay alert for enemies. By following these steps and avoiding common mistakes, you can successfully find and complete the shrine, earning a valuable Spirit Orb for your efforts.
