How do I unlock the shrine hidden in the Tarrey Town area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To unlock the shrine hidden in the Tarrey Town area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to complete a specific side quest called "The Secret of the Cedars." This shrine, known as the Dah Hesho Shrine, is not visible on the map until you complete the quest. Here is a detailed guide on how to achieve this.
First, you need to have started and progressed through the Tarrey Town questline. Tarrey Town is a settlement that you help build by completing the "From the Ground Up" side quest. This quest begins in Hateno Village, where you speak to Bolson, the construction worker, and then progresses as you recruit various NPCs from different regions of Hyrule to move to Tarrey Town. Once Tarrey Town is fully built, you can begin the quest to unlock the Dah Hesho Shrine.
The "Secret of the Cedars" quest is given by Garill, a Goron who can be found in Tarrey Town. He will mention that he heard a rumor about a shrine hidden in the nearby cedar forest. To start the quest, speak to Garill and he will give you the clue: "At the north end of the forest, there is a shrine that can only be seen in the light of the sun at a certain time."
The cedar forest is located to the north of Tarrey Town, on the eastern side of Lake Akkala. To find the shrine, you need to go to the northernmost part of this forest. Look for a large, flat rock formation surrounded by cedar trees. This is the location where the shrine will appear.
The key to unlocking the shrine is to stand on the flat rock at a specific time of day. The shrine will only become visible and accessible when the sunlight hits the rock at the right angle. The best time to do this is during the late morning or early afternoon, around 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in-game time. Stand on the rock and wait for the sunlight to reveal the shrine. Once the shrine appears, interact with it to enter and complete the challenge inside.
Here are some important tips and considerations. Make sure you have a good understanding of the in-game time system. You can use a campfire to pass time if it is not the right time of day when you arrive at the location. Additionally, ensure that the weather is clear, as rain or clouds can obscure the sunlight and prevent the shrine from appearing.
Common mistakes to avoid include arriving at the wrong time of day or not standing on the correct spot on the rock. The shrine will not appear if you are not on the flat rock or if the sunlight is not hitting it at the right angle. Be patient and wait for the right moment.
Advanced techniques or optimizations include using the Sheikah Sensor to detect the shrine once you are close to the correct location. This can help you pinpoint the exact spot where the shrine will appear. Additionally, you can use the Paraglider to quickly travel from Tarrey Town to the cedar forest, saving time.
Required items and preparation are minimal. You do not need any special items to complete this quest, but having a good supply of food and weapons is always helpful in case you encounter enemies along the way. It is also a good idea to have a few arrows and a bow, as there may be enemies in the forest.
Alternative approaches include using the Stasis rune to check for the shrine. If you activate Stasis and look around the area, the shrine may become visible even before the sunlight reveals it. This can help you confirm that you are in the right location.
In summary, to unlock the Dah Hesho Shrine in the Tarrey Town area, you need to complete the "Secret of the Cedars" quest by standing on the flat rock in the northern cedar forest at the right time of day. Be patient, ensure the weather is clear, and use the Sheikah Sensor or Stasis rune to help locate the shrine. With these steps, you will successfully reveal and enter the shrine, gaining access to its challenges and rewards.
