How do I start the "The Skull's Eye" shrine quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To start "The Skull's Eye" shrine quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to travel to the Gerudo Highlands region, specifically to the area near the Gerudo Summit. This quest is one of the many shrine quests in the game, and it involves solving a puzzle to reveal a hidden shrine. Here is a detailed guide on how to complete this quest.

First, you need to reach the Gerudo Highlands. This area is located in the southwestern part of the map, near the Gerudo Desert. You can get there by traveling from the Gerudo Tower or by climbing up from the desert. Once you are in the Gerudo Highlands, head towards the coordinates (-3787, -2445, 0395), which is near the Gerudo Summit. This is where you will find a large skull-shaped rock formation. This formation is the key to the shrine quest.

When you arrive at the skull-shaped rock formation, you will notice that it has an eye socket. The goal of the quest is to align the eye socket with the rising sun to reveal the hidden shrine. This requires you to wait until morning when the sun rises. The shrine will only appear if the sunlight passes through the eye socket at the correct angle. This means you need to be patient and wait for the right time of day.

To prepare for this quest, make sure you have a good supply of food and elixirs, as the Gerudo Highlands can be quite cold. You will need cold-resistant gear or elixirs to survive the low temperatures. The Snowquill set, which can be purchased in Rito Village, is a good option for cold resistance. Alternatively, you can cook dishes using Spicy Peppers or Sunshrooms to create cold-resistant meals.

Once you are ready, position yourself near the skull-shaped rock formation and wait for the sun to rise. You can pass time by sitting at a campfire until morning. When the sun begins to rise, stand in a position where you can see the sunlight passing through the eye socket. If you are in the correct spot, the shrine will appear. This is the Dah Hesho Shrine, and you can now enter it to complete the quest.

One common mistake players make is not waiting long enough for the sun to rise. The shrine will only appear when the sunlight is at the correct angle, so you need to be patient. Another mistake is not having the proper cold-resistant gear or elixirs, which can lead to losing health quickly in the cold environment. Make sure you are well-prepared before attempting this quest.

An advanced technique for this quest is to use the Sheikah Sensor to detect the shrine once it appears. If you have upgraded the Sheikah Sensor at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, it can help you locate the shrine more easily. Additionally, you can use the Paraglider to reach the shrine quickly once it is revealed.

In terms of alternative approaches, some players prefer to use the Stasis rune to freeze the sunlight and align it with the eye socket. However, this method is not necessary and can be more complicated than simply waiting for the sun to rise. The most straightforward approach is to wait for the correct time of day and let the sunlight do the work.

Overall, "The Skull's Eye" shrine quest is a test of patience and observation. By following these steps and preparing properly, you can successfully reveal the Dah Hesho Shrine and complete the quest. Remember to bring cold-resistant gear, wait for the sun to rise, and position yourself correctly to see the sunlight pass through the eye socket. With these tips, you should have no trouble completing this shrine quest and continuing your adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
