Ridgeland Shrine Solutions
Ridgeland is the wild country west of Hyrule Castle, with the Thundra Plateau, Washa's Bluff and the Tabantha Bridge Stable. Four of its seven shrines are tied to shrine quests or hidden caves.
Jump to a shrine: Mijah Rokee | Maag No'rah | Mogg Latan | Shae Loya | Sheem Dagoze | Toh Yahsa | Zalta Wa

Mijah Rokee Shrine: A Modest Test of Strength
Show on map
Shrine quest, Under a Red Moon: Kass sings about a red moon. Stand on the pedestal on Hyrule Ridge during a Blood Moon.
Mijah Rokee is on the south side of Washa's Bluff. Its shrine quest (from Kass) only completes during a Blood Moon, so if you're waiting for one: Blood Moons come more often the more enemies you defeat, and Hino at the Dueling Peaks Stable tells you when one is coming. Inside is a Modest Test of Strength against a Guardian Scout with two weapons.
Chest: Frostblade, in front of the altar.
Maag No'rah Shrine: Maag No'rah's Blessing
A blessing shrine hidden in a cave in the cliffs north of the Ridgeland Tower. Look for a Bokoblin camp with a tall lookout tower. From the camp, facing south, you'll see a small cluster of gray rocks on the sandstone cliff. Break them with a bomb arrow (you can shoot from the top of the lookout tower), or climb up and use a Remote Bomb. Inside there's no puzzle.
Chest: Silver Rupee.
Mogg Latan Shrine: Synced Swing
Mogg Latan is tucked into the cliffs at the foot of Satori Mountain, southwest of the Ridgeland Tower. Magnesis is the key to everything here.
- Swing the metal swing toward you with Magnesis, jump on, and jump off on the next platform. Do the same with the second swing. Too much or too little swing sends it off course, so go gently.
- Shoot the ropes holding up the bridge so it drops into place.
- Go left and swing the spiked metal balls aside with Magnesis to slip past them. Some are heavier and need more of a push.
- Pull the metal platform over with Magnesis and ride it down to the four metal platforms below. Arrange them into a set of steps.
- Burn the leaves on the way up to the big metal doors, either with a fire weapon or by hitting the orange crystal to light the hanging lanterns and shooting one down. The fire burns away the wooden block holding the doors. Swing the doors open with Magnesis and go to the altar.
Chests: Forest Dweller's Spear (on the right after the bridge drops), Forest Dweller's Bow (behind the last spiked ball) and Gold Rupee (behind the metal platforms: move the highest one out of the way, jump down to the chest, then build steps to climb back up).
Shae Loya Shrine: Aim for the Moment
Shae Loya is just south of the Tabantha Bridge Stable. Bring plenty of arrows.
- A ball bounces back and forth in the air. Freeze it with Stasis in mid-flight and shoot it once with an arrow; when Stasis ends, it drops into its hollow. A launcher by the entrance starts working.
- Ride the launcher up. In mid-air, turn the camera left: there's a switch in an alcove above the altar room. Draw your bow (time slows down) and shoot it. The gate to the altar opens.
Chests: Topaz: glide to it at the back of the shrine after riding the launcher. Falcon Bow: on the main floor, turn left and shoot the ropes holding up the high wooden platform, and the chest falls down.
Sheem Dagoze Shrine: Moving in Parallel
Show on map
Shrine quest, The Two Rings: Kass sings about two rings. Find the spot where the rings line up and shoot one arrow through both.
Sheem Dagoze is on a cliff northwest of the Jeddo Bridge. Kass's shrine quest there has you shoot one arrow through two rings to make it appear. Inside, two pressure plates tip the platforms that two balls roll down; each ball has to reach its hole.
- Stand on the left pressure plate. The top left platform tips and its ball rolls into the hole on the right.
- For the second ball, stand on the right plate. Before the ball finishes the first ramp, run to the left plate, and before it finishes the second ramp, run back to the right plate. The ball rolls into the left hole, and the door to the altar opens.
Chest: Great Thunderblade. Glide down to the platform between the two bottom ramps and look behind the left ramp. Afterward, step on the switch there to ride a platform back up.
Toh Yahsa Shrine: Buried Secrets
Show on map
Shrine quest, Trial of Thunder: During a thunderstorm on the Thundra Plateau, place the four orbs in their matching pillars. Don't carry metal.
Toh Yahsa is on the Thundra Plateau, where it's always storming, so don't carry metal weapons or shields. Setting foot on the plateau starts its shrine quest: put the colored balls in the matching holes to raise the shrine. Inside, Remote Bombs do most of the work.
- Blow up the breakable stone cubes in front of you to uncover a metal cube.
- Keep blowing up stone blocks, including the ones under the altar platform. They're hiding a large pressure plate.
- Use Magnesis to put the metal cube behind the low platform as a step up to the taller platform. Climb the ladder.
- From the top, lift the cube with Magnesis and drop it onto the pressure plate. The gate opens; climb to the altar.
Chests: Rubber Armor, in a small alcove under the entrance once the stone blocks are cleared. It protects you from lightning. Opal, on the tall platform to the right of the entrance: push it off with the metal cube.
Zalta Wa Shrine: Two Orbs to Guide You
Zalta Wa is at the bottom of a small canyon near the Breach of Demise. Two small orange balls are the key.
- Shoot the rightmost ball with an arrow to knock it into the hollow next to it. A gate opens with a second ball behind it.
- Pick up that ball and stand on the nearby floor switch. Another gate opens, but only while you're on the switch. Throw the ball into the hollow from where you stand, or freeze the switch with Stasis and walk the ball over.
- A platform starts moving. Hit the orange switch in the open room on it, and a launcher rises from the floor. Step on it when it's down, and it flings you up onto the moving platform.
- Climb the stairs to the altar.
Chest: Knight's Bow. Partway up the stairs, look over the ledge on the left and glide down to it. Then get back on the moving platform.
