Great Plateau Shrine locations

Zelda Breath of the Wild great plateau shrine locations
In the first area – Great Plateau – you will find four Shrines:
  1. Keh Namut – Cryonis Trial
  2. Owa Daim – Stasis Trial
  3. Ja Baij – Bomb Trial
  4. Oman Au – Magnesis Trial
Hard part about these shrines are the ones in the mountains. In order to go through the snowy mountain, and reach the shrines you’ll need something to warm you up. You can use a torch melee weapon. Swing your torch over the fire to light it. If you have Spicy Pepper, Raw Meat and Hyrule Bass you can make Spicy Meat and Seafood Fry meal that gives cold resistance, and if you give the meal to the old man in the cottage during the night, he’ll reward you with Warm Doublet. We have a comprehensive guide How to protect from cold & solve Old Man’s Warm Doublet recipe.

You can drop from above it, slam into the breakable rocks, quickly drop your bomb and detonate it and if you have a fairy she will resurrect you and you can enter. If you don’t want to spend fairies you need to go to the cliff opposite of the breakable rocks. There are several large stones (some of them you can move with magnesis). Place them opposite of the breakable rock and use stasis and sledgehammers to launch them into the breakable rocks. Takes good positioning and about four hits with the sledgehammer to have it hit. Paraglide to the shrine cave from the cliff above. You can check the gif of me doing it by clicking here.

  1. Kaam Ya’tak – From the top of Central Tower, paraglide to the southwest and look around the eastern side of Mount Daphnes.
  2. Katah Chuki – Northeast of Mount Gustaf, in the southeastern part of Quarry Ruins
  3. Noya Neha – On the island north of Quarry Ruins, on the southern slope of a hill in the southwest corner of the island. Find the side overgrown with thorns, burn them away and use a bomb on the breakable rocks and reveal the shrine.
  4. Saas Ko’sah – In the northern part of Castle Hyrule. You’ll have to go inside and find a large stone brazier and ignite it. To get inside the castle, watch it from the mountain on the northwest. You’ll notice a part of the moat where the water flows into the castle. That’s your point of entry.
  5. Namika Ozz – In the northeast of Central Hyrule, in the center of Crenel Hills. Look inside the huge rocky formation that looks almost like a volcano opening.
  6. Kaya Wan – Just head a little to the west of Wetland Stables, which are near a wooded area south of Crenel Peak, near the eastern bank of the Hylia River.

Shrines in Zelda BoTW

UPDATE: What follows is information we had on this page before the game came out and gives general information about shrines in Zelda BotW.

The shrines we’ve seen so far have all been underground. Their entrances were easy to notice – imagine a cave mouth adorned with glowing, orange runes. You’ll be able to spot them from quite far away, so use any chance you get at higher ground to scout out your surroundings. You can plant map markers on places you deem interesting, in case you don’t want to visit them right away.

Once you reach the shrine, you’ll use your Sheikah slate to gain entrance. The runes will turn blue, and an elevator will appear. Inside, jumping puzzles and challenges await. Many of them include finding inventive ways to use your rune powers. Getting to the end of the shrine is usually not that hard, so you’re pretty much guaranteed a spirit orb. However, there are other treasures inside, and they’ll often require a bit of lateral thinking.

They may include enemies, but the focus is usually not on fighting, but on figuring out a solution to the puzzles inside. They’re all tied by a theme in each shrine, so there isn’t much guessing involved. In case you do get stuck, we’re going to list the shrines and the solutions to their challenges on this page.

Once the game launches, on March 3rd, we’re going to start updating this guide with more info. If you discover a shrine that isn’t here, feel free to share your findings in the comments.
