The Kikakin Shrine is located at the coordinates in the Great Hyrule Forest region (0395, 2736, 0287). It is located on a mountain ridge.


Kikakin Shrine is dark, and it requires the use of a Zonai flashlight or Brightbloom Seeds, otherwise you risk injuring yourself on obstacles. (We used the flashlight, but Brightbloom Seeds make this much easier – you don’t even need that many.) In the main room is a closed door. You have to run around in a small maze to find the key.

1. Pick up the Zonai flashlight. You can also use Brightbloom Seeds if you have some to spare. (Place them on the ground and hit them to activate the seeds.)

2. Go to the back, on the left side of the room. Turn left and then left again. You see red lasers. Avoid them, but go right back for one chest of Opal inside. Go back through the red lasers.

3. Go straight until you see a pointed wall. Be careful, but keep going. Continue through another jagged wall and turn right. There is a panel on the floor that can be removed Ultra handy – do that and pull the chest, which contains a key. You can go back to where you came from and open the locked door in the main room, but you’ll miss some loot.
