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 Club's Secret." 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 access it, including mechanics, strategies, and tips.

First, you need to have Tarrey Town fully built. Tarrey Town is a settlement that you help construct as part of the "From the Ground Up" side quest. This quest begins in Hateno Village, where you meet Hudson, a worker who is relocating to Akkala to start building the town. You will need to gather materials and recruit workers from different regions of Hyrule to complete the town. Once Tarrey Town is fully built, you can proceed to the next step.

After Tarrey Town is complete, you will find a small building with a sign that says "Secret Club." This building is located near the center of the town. To enter, you need to find a way to open the door. The door has a small window, and if you look through it, you will see a Gerudo woman inside. She will ask you for a password to let you in. The password is "GSCÔÖª," which stands for "Gerudo Secret Club." You can learn this password by eavesdropping on a conversation between two Gerudo women in the town. They are usually found near the general store or the inn.

Once you have the password, return to the Secret Club and speak through the window. The woman will let you in, and you can explore the club. Inside, you will find a variety of items for sale, including the Desert Voe armor set, which is useful for heat resistance. More importantly, you will find a journal on a table that mentions a hidden shrine. The journal provides a clue about the shrine's location, stating that it is hidden beneath the town.

To find the shrine, you need to go to the back of the Secret Club building. There, you will notice a small pond with a rock formation in the center. Use Magnesis to lift the metal slab in the pond, revealing a hidden passage. Drop down into the passage, and you will find yourself in a small cave. At the end of the cave, you will see the Dah Hesho Shrine. Activate the shrine to make it appear on your map and enter it to complete the shrine's challenge.

The Dah Hesho Shrine is a blessing shrine, meaning there is no puzzle to solve inside. You will receive a Spirit Orb upon completion. However, accessing the shrine requires careful attention to the clues and the environment. Here are some important tips and considerations to keep in mind.

First, make sure Tarrey Town is fully built before attempting to find the shrine. The Secret Club and the hidden shrine are only accessible after the town is complete. Second, pay attention to the environment. The pond and the metal slab are easy to miss if you are not looking carefully. Use Magnesis to scan the area for metal objects, as this will help you locate the hidden passage. Third, be prepared for combat if necessary. While there are no enemies in the immediate area, you may encounter them on your way to Tarrey Town or while exploring the town itself.

Common mistakes to avoid include not completing the "From the Ground Up" quest, missing the eavesdropping opportunity to learn the password, and overlooking the pond and metal slab. Make sure to explore the town thoroughly and interact with all NPCs to gather the necessary information.

Advanced techniques or optimizations include using the Sheikah Sensor to detect the shrine once you are close to its location. This can help confirm that you are on the right track. Additionally, having the Magnesis rune upgraded can make it easier to detect and lift the metal slab.

Required items and preparation include having the Magnesis rune, which is obtained early in the game, and completing the "From the Ground Up" quest. No special weapons or armor are needed, but having a few healing items and a good weapon can be helpful if you encounter enemies.

Alternative approaches include using a guide or walkthrough if you are stuck, but the satisfaction of solving the puzzle on your own is much greater. You can also ask other players for hints if you prefer not to use a guide.

In summary, accessing the Dah Hesho Shrine in Tarrey Town involves completing the "From the Ground Up" quest, finding the Secret Club, learning the password, and uncovering the hidden passage. Pay attention to the environment, use Magnesis, and explore thoroughly to find the shrine. With these steps, you will be able to access the shrine and claim your Spirit Orb.
