This shrine-puzzle sits on the hill above the East Akkala Stable in Deep Akala, and it’s a nice checkpoint for the Malanya, the Horse God, as well. And although the puzzle seems intimidating, it’s a fairly easy and straightforward challenge worth the initial struggle.
How To Complete Jochi-iu Shrine: Courage To Pluck
Walking into the room, the first and most obvious thing to observe is the giant tower ahead. It’s comprised ofseveral metal bars stackedprecariously on top of one another with anorange ball on top.
Second, there’s anelectric current to your right that you’ll need to complete. Unfortunately, that requirestwo of the metal barson the tower.
There area few guaranteed safe bars,and you’ll need only two to complete the puzzle. You can take:
Place both to link the two ends of the electric circuitto create a working, moving platform.
Jump onto the now-working platformto ride over beside the tower. You can nowgrab the orange ball from the top of the towercarefully with your Ultrahand.
Take the ballback with you to the switchto open the exit door.
You can gimp this entire puzzle byselecting the metal bars with your Ultrahand and, instead of moving them,Attach them all together.By gluing the parts of this tower together, you canpick up the entire tower andcarry it overto your side. Since the puzzle only resets if the bars fall into the chasm, it doesn’t matter if it falls apart on your side of the dungeon.
Turn the tower over at the top of the ramp,unstick the ball at the top(if it’s been glued),and place it into the switchto skip the puzzle. It’s not as satisfying at finishing the puzzle as intended, but it’s certainly funny.
Before you leave, you cantake the two metal bars off the electric circuit now.Use them tocreate a bridge over to the chest on the upper platformnearby for a powerfulZonaite Bow.
Additionally, there’s achest with aLarge Zonaitehidden in the tower on its far left side.You can pick this out with your Ultrahand, or you can use the strategy ofgluing together the entire tower and pulling it overto your side to make this a little safer.
Whichever you choose, you’ll be able to walk out of this trial with two prizes and a Light of Blessing.
