Location & Directions to Sepapa Shrine
On the northwest part of the island, directly to the east of Hyrule Castle, sits Sepapa Shrine with a lovely river view. You can almost see through a tiny hill the swirling green lights that shrines generate at night.
Walkthrough and Puzzle Solutions for Sepapa Shrine
It would be foolish not to go ahead and line up Recall with a shrine task name like “Backtrack.”
It will be put to use right away. As you ascend the first flight of steps, watch for the moving platform to start passing beneath the bottom security barrier. Use Recall as it does so and jump onto the platform to ride a lift up to the subsequent room.
How to Access the Treasure at Sepapa Shrine
There are two easy ways to get this. The enormous room immediately following the entry staircase contains the treasure chest. A platform in the far back of the lake has vines climbing the wall. A wooden platform with a chest is at the top. You have two options for lighting the vines on fire: either use a fire arrow or use the torch, land it in the river, jump to the back platform, and then burn the vines on fire. You’ll discover a Strong Construct Bow inside the chest.
You only have to light the two pillars to solve the puzzle. The room’s fire doesn’t need to be used. If you have Fire Fruit, you can use that in its place. If not, you’ll need to have a fire-starting weapon in hand or use the torch that is lying on the ground in front of the door.
Await the raft’s appearance to the right of the entryway before boarding it. Use Recall on the raft as soon as you are close to the flames. Light the fire by striking it with the torch. The torch will go out if Recall is used on the raft after it has been lit since Link needs both hands to perform Recall.
You must utilise Recall on a ball that is far away in the third chamber. Turn right, then up the wall. Two locations where a ball can be dropped to start a mechanism will be on your path. When you’re ready, take the ball from the top and lower it into the lower of the two ports by moving it down. The first gate is thus opened. Retrace your steps and enter the gate.
When the ball is above the taller of the two ports, stop using Recall on it and turn to face the ball. You will reach the exit for the Light of Blessing and Shrine when the ball rolls into the port and opens the second gate.
You’ve completed the shrine and obtained a Light of Blessing!
