Orochium Shrine Solution: Complete Guide – Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Much like the Nachoyah Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Orochium Shrine is one of the more challenging puzzles in the game, set by the Zonai. Alternatively known as Courage To Fall, solving this Shrine may prove to be a daunting task for players. Luckily, I’m here to make it easy for you.

To solve the Orochium Shrine puzzle, players need to follow these steps:

  1. Enter the Orochium Shrine at the Hebra Mountains region.
  • Locate the first chest in the smaller chamber using the Ascend ability on the suspended pillars.
  • Trigger the lasers in the middle of the room by walking into them and dropping down.
  • Collect the key from the second chest and approach the locked green door.
  • Retrieve the ball from the green door and take it upstairs.
  • Locate the Wing Zonai Device and unlock it by placing the ball in the slot.
  • Using Ultrahand, place the ball on top of the Wing and ride it to the entrance of the Shrine.
  • Place the ball once again at the entrance in the slot to the right of it.
  • Unlock the final door and claim the Light of Blessing.

Let’s take a detailed look at solving the complete Orochium Shrine Puzzle.

In the room below, more lasers will be present, which will be easy to avoid. Once you avoid the lasers, go straight ahead and Ascend to the room above to find the second chest.

Take control of the ball by grabbing it or by using your Ultrahand ability and return to the green platforms at the location where you last Ascended. Ride the platform up and go left, up the stairs to come across a locked room containing the Wing Zonai Device.
