How do I unlock the shrine hidden in the Lurelin Village cliff area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To unlock the shrine hidden in the Lurelin Village cliff area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to complete a specific quest called "The Secret of the Cedars." This shrine, known as Kah Yah Shrine, is not immediately visible and requires you to solve a puzzle to reveal its location. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to achieve this.

First, you need to reach Lurelin Village, which is located in the southeastern part of Hyrule, near the Faron region. Once you arrive, head to the village and look for a man named Rozel near the entrance. He will mention a rumor about a shrine hidden in the cliffs behind the village. This will start the quest "The Secret of the Cedars."

The key to finding the shrine lies in the arrangement of cedar trees on the cliffs behind Lurelin Village. There are three cedar trees standing in a specific pattern, and you need to replicate this pattern elsewhere to reveal the shrine. To do this, you must first locate the three cedar trees. They are positioned in a straight line, with two trees close together and the third tree a bit further away. This pattern is crucial for solving the puzzle.

Once you have identified the pattern, you need to find another set of cedar trees that can be arranged in the same way. Look around the cliffs and nearby areas for groups of cedar trees. You will notice that some trees are missing or not in the correct position. Your goal is to cut down the necessary trees to replicate the pattern you observed earlier.

To cut down the trees, you will need a weapon with a sharp edge, such as a sword or an axe. Make sure you have a durable weapon, as cutting down multiple trees can wear out your equipment quickly. ItÔÇÖs also a good idea to bring some food or elixirs to restore your stamina, as cutting down trees can be physically demanding.

After you have successfully replicated the pattern, the shrine will appear in the area where the trees are arranged. Approach the shrine and interact with it to enter. Inside, you will find a puzzle that you need to solve to complete the shrine and obtain the Spirit Orb.

One common mistake players make is not paying close attention to the exact pattern of the cedar trees. ItÔÇÖs important to replicate the pattern precisely, as even a slight deviation can prevent the shrine from appearing. Another mistake is not having enough durable weapons to cut down the trees. Make sure to bring multiple weapons or repair them if necessary.

An advanced technique to optimize this process is to use the Stasis rune to freeze the trees before cutting them down. This can help you align the trees more accurately and ensure that they fall in the correct position. Additionally, using a two-handed weapon can make cutting down trees faster and more efficient.

If you are having trouble finding the cedar trees or replicating the pattern, you can use the Sheikah Sensor to detect the shrine once you are close to the correct location. This can help guide you to the exact spot where the shrine will appear.

In summary, unlocking the Kah Yah Shrine in Lurelin Village involves completing the quest "The Secret of the Cedars" by replicating a specific pattern of cedar trees. Pay close attention to the pattern, bring durable weapons, and use the Stasis rune for better accuracy. With these strategies, you should be able to reveal the shrine and complete the puzzle inside.
