What is The Hardest Shrine in Zelda BotW? I'll talk about Mirro Shaz, Shorna Hah and Keo Ruug shrine. inspiration - • Zelda: Top 15 Hardest ... • This ALMOST Made Me Qu... #zelda #botw #breathofthewild
It's a numbered grid. With an answer key. HOW did so many people struggle with this? I get that some of us will be having a brain fart but seriously? The hardest shrine????
I love how at the end of a shrine, the Monks don't say anything along the lines of "good jobsolving the puzzle" but instead, they congratulate your "resourcefullness" Almost like the people who designed the shrines knew that we'd find an easier way to beat it. Seriously, bombjumps are so fun.
I spent years leaving that shrine in Korok Forest. I ended up searching on RU-vid how to solve it ‘cause i was about to have a mental breakdown while trying to do it by myself.
Maybe not the hardest but definitely frustrating, but the shrines where you tilt your joy cons/switch to get a ball through a maze. Or to make a path for something else to go through.
@@zekstrskis or, just windbomb. But the hateno village shrine even with motion controls is easy af. as long as you play docked. Handheld motion controls are a whole different level of pain
@@saltystrudel9997 I did it thrice as well: when I played for the very first time, when I got a replacement Switch and lost my original save data, and when I played Master Mode for the first time.
I am fourteen off! I got the game on Aug 16 of last year, so wish me luck with my last few! Update! Finished the eventide island quest! I'm gonna wait for my mom to get home to do the shrine!
I think the hardest shrine in breath of the wild is the one in the mountains where you have to use a snowball to get in and it's really hard because everywhere your shrine sensor is beeping and you can't find it because it's stupid in the mountain.
It took me way too long to get into that one. I couldn't get the ice blocks lined in the hole right to create a bridge and had to keep leaving and go back for more large snowballs to spawn.
I didn't know about it and thought ut was a sheildsurfing area (i had my sensor set on naydra) and saw the big snowball and used stasis and sent it flying just for fun and then i saw the shrine behind the doors and realized what i had done lol
Being a completionist, Mirro Shaz is by far the hardest shrine. Trying to get that damn ball in the hole on the second course was absolutely infuriating. And then finding out all you get for it is a Giant Ancient Core is even more infuriating.
Keo Ruug is probably my favorite because of how it uses these minimal decorations to the puzzle! I want more shrines like this! Edit: Thanks for 1K likes everyone!
Not that I hate subtle hints, but for me personally the hint they give is far too subtle. Even if they changed the wording on the sign a bit it would’ve been better. The puzzle for me was impossible to figure out without looking it up. I mean in general I agree I want more puzzle shrines but not ones that are going to be that confusing. Here’s how I would fix Keo Ruug: Before going into the main chamber there’s a small puzzle before it with two symbols. The symbols are lined up on a wall close by. This way you don’t even need the sign. To make the main chamber a bit more challenging, four symbols, but they’re scattered on different walls. And when it comes to orb placement, there is one symbol that is incredibly similar to another, so you have to observe them closely. Same chest puzzle but the symbols are inside the room with the chest instead of outside. Bonus room after the monk with 8 seperate symbols just for fun. This way you get increasingly complex puzzles that challenge the mind but also teach you at the same time instead of just leaving you blindfolded in a dark room. Although honestly I came up with this on the spot, so there could very well be flaws with it.
In the the death mountain "pass the torch" shrine, you can carry the giant spike metal ball with magnesium to beat the small guardian robots. It's basically like a companion box.
Yes!!! The Korok Forest shrine was the last one I completed because I just had no idea how to do it. I eventually just saw a clip of someone who figured it out immediately and I felt like an idiot. Given the hint about “looking at the stars”, I assumed I literally had to exit the shrine, stare up at the night sky and look for something. I do hope we get more abstract puzzles like these in TOTK though, the head scratchers are always more memorable!
Hardest shrine for me was the DLC one in the great plateau with all the spikes everywhere you had to platform around. It’s not so bad when I replay it, but that first time was brutal. Took me hours.
The hardest one was Eventide Island. But it was definitely the most fun. Having everything taken away and then you have to find a way to get the ball from around the Hinox neck to complete the shrine.
The one by Death Mountain I completed on my first try. Once you get to the part with the 3 or 4 mini guardians, just go kill them first and then bring the flame
The death mountain on was super easy. You can light arrows in the blue fire and just shoot the next target. I did this shrine early game and didn't want to leave one of my weapons behind to use a torch ( no weapon slots lol ). At the parts where the arrows couldn't last long enough and the last bit where you have to spin attack, I just set one of my wooden weapons on fire.
I always forget the solution of the korok shrine. It’s super cryptic unless you a) notice that the consolations in the picture match the ones by the solutions. And b) count the # of each of the consolations. God have mercy if you miscounted
That or you just throw out a strong weapon before it starts. Threw out a strong sword and bow beat with ease although you need to throw the back out if you want to keep them.
@@tolkienism3806 I remember how good that was after stupidly going to the desert first. Thunder blight was a pain until I figured out how to evade or parry.
Rohta Chigah - It wouldn't be so bad under normal circumstances, but the one-hit kill aspect makes it damn annoying. I die at least two dozen times every time I get to it.
In a stupidly cryptic way that is referring to decoration that on cursory glance looks pretty much identical to the decoration in every shrine, which has never been relevant to solving puzzles in any other shrine. It’s obvious once you get it, but it requires the player to think about the shrine as a location in a completely different way from any other shrine in the game, and that isn’t instinctual or obvious for most people.
That first one you mentioned was way harder than the second one for me, I actually kinda enjoyed it lol. Also, I’m at 92 shrines completed! I’m trying to do all shrines before Ganon
@@blackcat09tails55 like a week before TotK released I found every Korok (after finding about 300 on my own I used a guide), it was pretty terrible but yeah. I did every quest, side quest, shrine quest, shrine, Korok, collected every piece of armor, upgraded every piece of armor to the max, killed every mini boss, and got every key item. It was a grind, but felt accomplishing and would recommend if you have time to kill like I did. Now all I need to do is beat the game on Master Mode
I struggle a lot with that one shrine that is in the DLC. I think it's one of Mipha's trials and there is a wall you need to climb by lifting metal blocks with magnesis and trying to use cyro to hold them in place. I have no idea how you're supposed to do it right🗿 (Also there is a chest on the other side, but I usually just use stasis and bomb arrows on that so it falls rather than trying to lift the climbing blocks up to reach it...)
I have the combo to that shrine memorized. It’s 5312. It’s a great shrine to practice shield clipping which I’m addicted to, so I’ve been there a bunch.
One of the hardest is defintely the hidden shrines in the Hebra mountains where you roll a snowball down a very rocky road. I ended up cheesing it by bringing a tiny snowball, using stasis to increase its size little by little until it opens the door.
I don’t know which one it is but I actually gave up on one, it involved using gyro controls to move a cube round, which had like 4 torches on it that you needed to light, but there was water pointing down on it.
I remember spending way more time trying to cheese the death mountain one with windbombs than the time I would have spent doing the shrine the way it was intended to.
One shrine I adore for showing player choice is that one where you need to hit the ball over water into a hole, but there are moving platforms. Cause most people see moving platforms and go "oh ok i have to stasis them to make them line up"... But you can literally just cryonis bridge the balls to the holes making the entire puzzle trivial😂
The one where you have to stasis the orbs and aim them into those targets genuinely pissed me off so much i just learned how to wall clip with shield jumping and skipped to the end lol
I was never able to beat the Keo Ruug shrine because I never realized that the star patterns were part of the puzzle. The whole time I just thought they were decorations.
Me who breezed through all the shrines except the one really easy spikey one near the start: …..yeah sure totally the most difficult ones, all my deaths are attributed to those other very reasonable ones
For the last one you talked about, i just the camera on the tablet and photographed the two opposite shrine before to move anything, since the good placement for one is the initial placement of the other
I hated eventide. All my scavenged weapons broke before I could do significant damage to the Hynox, so I resorted to throwing 100 freaking remote bombs on him, and hitting him with a metal box. I tried to glide on while he was asleep too, but couldn’t grab the orb for some reason, but I finished it luckily, only took 5 tries and no saving in the middle 😭😂
Yeah I just searched for a tutorial for the Korok one after spending half an hour thinking about committing unalive while not understanding the assignment
In fact, that forest shrine was one of the ones that I loved the most, it took me a few minutes to theorize the solution and it was incredibly satisfying to solve it the truth
