How do I access the shrine hidden in the Tarrey Town area in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
To access 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 explanation of how to achieve this, including mechanics, strategies, and tips.
First, you need to have progressed far enough in the game to unlock Tarrey Town. Tarrey Town is a settlement that you help build as part of the "From the Ground Up" side quest. This quest begins in Hateno Village, where you meet Hudson, who is working on a house. After helping him, he moves to Akkala to start building Tarrey Town. You will need to assist him by recruiting workers from different regions, each with a specific name requirement. Once Tarrey Town is fully built, you can proceed with the shrine quest.
The "Secret of the Cedars" quest is given by Garill, a resident of Tarrey Town. He mentions that he saw a shrine appear in the distance but cannot find it again. He asks you to investigate the area near the cedar trees north of Tarrey Town. This is your clue to the shrine's location.
To find the shrine, head north from Tarrey Town towards the cedar trees. You will notice a small forested area with a group of trees. The shrine is hidden underground and can only be accessed by solving a puzzle involving the trees. The key is to examine the pattern of the trees. There are two groups of trees: one group has three trees in a straight line, and the other group has five trees in a straight line. The shrine is located directly in line with these trees.
To reveal the shrine, you need to cut down the trees in a specific order. Start by cutting down the three trees in the first group. Make sure you cut them down in a straight line, as this will create a path. Next, move to the second group of five trees and cut them down in a straight line as well. Once all the trees are cut down in the correct pattern, the shrine will emerge from the ground.
It is important to note that you need a weapon capable of cutting down trees, such as an axe or a sword. Make sure you have enough durability on your weapon, as cutting down multiple trees can wear it out quickly. If your weapon breaks, you can find more in the area or use bombs to cut down the trees, though this method is less precise.
Common mistakes to avoid include cutting down the trees in the wrong order or not cutting them down in a straight line. If you do not follow the pattern, the shrine will not appear. Additionally, make sure you have enough stamina to cut down all the trees in one go, as leaving some trees standing will prevent the shrine from emerging.
Advanced techniques include using the Stasis rune to freeze the trees and then hitting them to cut them down more efficiently. This can save time and reduce the risk of your weapon breaking. You can also use the Magnesis rune to move metal objects out of the way if they are blocking your path.
Preparation is key for this quest. Make sure you have a good supply of weapons and possibly some stamina-restoring food in case you need to cut down a large number of trees. It is also helpful to have the Sheikah Sensor upgraded to detect shrines, as this can help you locate the exact spot where the shrine will appear.
Alternative approaches include using the environment to your advantage. For example, if you have the Master Sword, it can cut down trees without losing durability, making the process easier. You can also use the environment to create a straight path by aligning yourself with the trees and using landmarks to guide your cuts.
In summary, accessing the Dah Hesho Shrine in Tarrey Town involves completing the "Secret of the Cedars" quest, cutting down trees in a specific pattern, and ensuring you have the right tools and preparation. By following these steps and avoiding common mistakes, you can successfully reveal the shrine and claim your Spirit Orb.
