Simosiwak Shrine location

The Simosiwak Shrine is on Courage Islandone of the air islands in the Great Hyrule Forest Sky region. The exact coordinates are (0163, 1973, 0759).

To get to Bravery Island, where you can also find part of the super useful Glide Armor set, go to the Thyphlo ruins Skyview tower, launch into the sky and paraglide south. Land on the circular island, the southernmost of the group of four. (There’s also an easier route once you’ve unlocked the nearby Mayim Shrine; you can just paraglide from the North Hyrule Sky Archipelago.)

Simosiwak Shrine Walkthrough

This shrine is a “Proving Grounds” challenge, so you will be immediately robbed of your equipment. As if losing your clothes and armor isn’t enough, Simosiwak Shrine also plunges you into almost complete darkness. I think that’s why this test is called ‘Lights Out’, isn’t it?

1. Go down the small stairs and pick up two light shields and a wooden stick on your left. After this dimly lit opening room, you enter the dark; press ZL to raise your shield and shine its light in front of you.

2. There is one Construct on the left, shining his red eyebeam in the darkness. It has its own light shield, which will shine in your eyes; it won’t be particularly aggressive, at least not until you attack. And you will have to: beating the constructions is the way to solve this shrine.

3. Leaning against the wall near this Construct, there is a long stick and an old wooden shield. Grab those and use them to take down this first enemy. Pack up his things and take this opportunity to Merge the Construct’s horn against one of the wooden sticks you picked up.

4. Continue into the darkness and look for more constructions along the way. This isn’t a very big room and there are only two Constructs left to fight, but you’re underarmed, so be careful.

5. The next construction is a little further in the sanctuary and is stronger than the first; crawl on it to land sneak strike if you can. It has a Flame-Emitter Club, whose flames we avoided by parrying and using Flurry Rush. By the way, there are two Flame Emitter devices nearby, in corners next to where this Construct is patrolling. We fused both devices into wooden sticks.

6. Look around in the dark for a staircase and go to the last Construct in the room. Again, if you can be stealthy and sneak strike, that chews away a lot of damage. This Construct shoots fireballs at you with a Fire rod; it is also surrounded by three rubies. Once you defeat this last Construct, the gates at the back of the room will open.

7. Go through the gate and open the chest, which contains a bright elixir that gives a glow effect (very suitable for this shrine). After grabbing it, go forward to activate the sigil and get one Light of blessing.
