Hateno Shrine Solutions

    
                               

The Hateno region covers the southeast of Hyrule: Hateno Village, the Ancient Tech Lab, the Rabia Plain and the islands off the coast. Of its seven shrines, three are hidden behind shrine quests and two are blessings with no puzzle at all.

Jump to a shrine: Chaas Qeta | Dow Na'eh | Jitan Sa'mi | Kam Urog | Mezza Lo | Myahm Agana | Tahno O'ah

See the full shrine list for every region, and our interactive map for exact locations.

Chaas Qeta Shrine: A Major Test of Strength

Show on map

Chaas Qeta is far out to sea on Tenoko Island. You can glide to it from the cliffs, ride a raft with a Korok Leaf, or build a path of Cryonis blocks.

This is a Major Test of Strength, so you'll face the toughest kind of Guardian Scout. Bring your best weapons, armor and healing food. Watch for it charging up a big laser: perfect-guard it back with your shield, or finish the fight quickly. Champion abilities don't work inside shrines.

Chest: Climbing Gear, the chest piece of the Climbing set, which opens when the Guardian is defeated.

Dow Na'eh Shrine: Three Boxes

Show on map

  1. The pressure plate in the middle of the room needs weight on it. The three treasure chests in the room are metal, so open each one and then put it on the plate with Magnesis.
  2. The first chest is on a wooden platform on the left wall, and the second is under the water nearby. Pull them both over.
  3. The third chest is on a moving platform across the room. Glide over and pull it off with Magnesis.
  4. With all three chests on the plate, a gate opens. Pull the metal cube out of the room behind it and put it on the platform that moves up and down.
  5. Ride the lift up and step off to the left. When the lift goes back down, jump onto the metal cube, then climb to the metal walkway that leads to the altar.

Chests: Zora Sword (wall platform), Opal (underwater) and Amber (moving platform).

Jitan Sa'mi Shrine: Jitan Sa'mi's Blessing

Show on map
Shrine quest, The Spring of Wisdom: Medda in Hateno tells of the Spring of Wisdom. Shoot the Malice off the dragon Naydra on Mount Lanayru and drop one of its scales in the spring.

A blessing shrine. It only appears once you've freed the dragon Naydra from Malice on Mount Lanayru during its shrine quest. Inside, just open the chest and walk to the altar.

Chest: Frostspear, with a long-throw bonus.

Kam Urog Shrine: Trial of Passage

Show on map
Shrine quest, The Cursed Statue: A statue near Fort Hateno has glowing eyes at night. Shoot it with an arrow.

The whole shrine is a giant rotating cylinder, with spiked balls rolling around inside. If you fall, you start again from the bottom, so take it slowly.

  1. Wait for the big platform to come round level, then walk up it to the large cog in the center. The cog doesn't spin, so it's a safe place to stop and plan.
  2. From the cog, move onto the platform on the left before it rises out of reach (or wait on the cog for it to come round again).
  3. Hop onto the spinning cog on the wall, ride it, then jump to the platform ahead.
  4. Climb the steps and wait for the second set of steps to come round. Cross them quickly to reach the altar.

Chests: a chest on a small platform that swings past the central cog: wait on the cog and jump down onto it when it lines up. (One source says it holds a Royal Halberd, the other a Soldier's Spear.) You'll have to start the climb again from the bottom afterward. There's also an Opal on a ledge outside the cylinder that you can glide to from the cog.

Mezza Lo Shrine: Ancient Trifecta

Show on map
Shrine quest, The Crowned Beast: Kass sings about a crowned beast. Ride a mountain buck onto the glowing pedestal on Rabia Plain.

A laser hits an orange crystal switch in this shrine, and each hit moves a big platform around the room. Stasis blocks the laser for a moment; when it ends, the laser hits the crystal again and the platform moves on. A metal cube that you'll need later blocks the laser at the start.

  1. Pull the metal cube out from behind the crystal on the right of the entrance with Magnesis, and bring it with you onto the moving platform.
  2. From the platform, use Stasis to stop the laser so the platform moves to the next stop on the left. Grab the chest there.
  3. Get back on the platform with the cube and repeat to move to the next stop.
  4. Put the cube on the floor switch there. It holds open the gate to the end of the shrine.
  5. Use Stasis on the laser once more, and the platform carries you to the altar.

Chest: Thunderblade, at the second stop.

Myahm Agana Shrine: Myahm Agana Apparatus

Show on map

This shrine, right by Hateno Village, is a motion-control maze. Go up the stairs on the right and examine the pedestal to take control of the maze.

  1. Tilt your controller slowly to roll the ball through the maze. It's heavy and hard to stop once it's moving, so go steadily. Leave and re-examine the pedestal to reset the controls if they drift.
  2. At the end of the maze, flip the maze up sharply so the ball flies across the gap to its target, instead of dropping through.
  3. Alternatively, flip the whole maze upside down: the back is flat, and you can simply roll the ball across.

Chest: Phrenic Bow, inside the maze. Once the ball is home, tilt the maze so it's lower than the ramp, run up the ramp and glide into it. To get out, jump from a high point and glide back.

Tahno O'ah Shrine: Tahno O'ah's Blessing

Show on map
Shrine quest, Secret of the Cedars: A song in Hateno hints at three cedar trees on Madorna Mountain. Line them up, follow the direction they show and bomb the rubble hiding the shrine.

A blessing shrine: finding it is the challenge. The shrine quest gives a hint to where it's hidden, or you can come across it on your own. Inside, just open the chest and walk to the altar.

Chest: Climbing Boots, part of the Climbing set.
