Location
Ishodag shrine in Tears of the Kingdom is located southwest of the Hyrule Castle, specifically between the Quarry Ruins and the Carok Bridge. The shrine is situated on top of a rocky hill and Hyrule Castle can be seen behind the shrine.
Puzzle
The puzzle presented in the shrine is a beginner’s level puzzle, and essentially can be divided into three parts, and here is a step by step guide on how to solve it.
Part I
After entering the shrine, walk down the stairs and you will see an object (Fan) lying on the ground, and an unclimbable wall ahead.
- Use Ultrahand ability to attach the fan pointing upwards, to the ground.
- Turn on the fan by hitting it with a weapon.
- Stand on the fan and double jump to open the paraglider, the gust created by the fan, will give you enough height to reach the top of the wall.
Part II
Next, you will see a plank and another fan lying on the ground. On your left there will be water, the goal of this part of the puzzle is to get to the other side of the water.
- You can do that by building a boat, use Ultrahand ability to place the plank in the water.
- Then using Ultrahand ability attach the fan to the plank, so that it points towards you and that is it, you have created yourself a boat.
- Climb the plank and hit the fan.
Part III
Again there is a high unclimbable wall ahead of you, but this time it cannot be glided to, as in part 1. You will see two fans lying on the ground and a platform that can move vertically, infront of you.
- Attach the two fans below the platform, so that they point toward the ground.
- Hop on the platform, activate the fans and you will find yourself on top in no time at all!
Treasure Chest
After you cross the water, you will see the unclimbable wall in front, but on the right side, you will notice a plank that has a treasure chest stuck to it, but it is not reachable.
- Detach the fan from your boat and attach it to the bottom of the plank. But not on the side, where the treasure chest is attached. Point the fan toward you while attaching.
- Activate the fan by hitting it.
- Climb the platform as you did in part 3, and glide from there toward the chest.
- Open the chest, that’s it. The chest contains an opal.
Final Remarks
Shrines are an essential part of Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, they provide players with exciting puzzles, and at the end reward them with treasure chests and Spirit Orbs.
