\n\nShrine Tier List: Which Shrines Are Worth Your Time Early Game?
\nNot all Shrines are created equal. Some Shrines give you a core ability or powerful weapon 10 hours into the game that changes your entire playthrough, others are just filler. Here’s our tier ranking based on early-game value:
\n| Tier | \nShrine Name | \nJustification | \n
|---|---|---|
| S-Tier | \nGutanbac Shrine | \nUnlocks Ascend, the most broken ability in the game, first 30 minutes of play. Non-negotiable. | \n
| S-Tier | \nIn-isa Shrine | \nUnlocks Fuse, which you’ll use every 10 seconds for the entire game. | \n
| S-Tier | \nNachoyah Shrine | \nUnlocks Ultrahand, core ability for all building and puzzle solving. | \n
| S-Tier | \nTukarok Shrine | \nUnlocks Recall, the best ability for puzzle and boss fights. | \n
| A-Tier | \nOrochiym Shrine | \nFree 30 damage Royal Longsword early game, 5x better than any early weapon. | \n
| A-Tier | \nKiuyoyou Shrine | \nReward is a Magic Staff with 50 spell damage, perfect for early-game Moblins. | \n
| B-Tier\n | All Combat Shrines\n | Solid rewards, good for farming early arrows, no game-changing ability.\n |
| C-Tier | \nAll Blessing Shrines | \nNo puzzle, free Light of Blessing, zero other reward. Just check it off the list. | \n
| D-Tier | \nMayaciqr Shrine | \nMissable, only gives a common Amber, not worth reloading a 2-hour old save if you miss it. | \n
Region-by-Region All 152 Shrines Locations & Step-by-Step Solutions
\nAll coordinates use the in-game map grid: (X, Y, Z) matching the numbers you see in your Proving Grounds save file and map pins.
\n\n1. Great Sky Island Shrines (Total: 5)
\nAll 5 Great Sky Island shrines are part of the tutorial, but one is hidden and missable. Mark your map with these pins:
\n- \n
- Nachoyah Shrine (0691, -0819, 0121)
\n Solution: This is the Ultrahand tutorial shrine. Step-by-step:
\n 1. Use Ultrahand to pick up the two wooden planks and attach them to the gap to make a bridge.
\n 2. Attach the three logs to the large wheel to create a rolling platform to cross the second gap.
\n 3. Open the chest for a Spiked Club and claim your Light of Blessing.
\n Unlock Condition: Available from the start of the game.
\n Common Mistake: Players stack planks vertically instead of laying them flat across the gap, wasting 5+ minutes. \n - In-isa Shrine (0028, -1269, 1402)
\n Solution: Fuse ability tutorial:
\n 1. Fuse a boulder to your stick to break the rock wall blocking the first path.
\n 2. Fuse two planks together to cross the second gap.
\n 3. Fuse a metal cube to your sword to break the final stone gate.
\n Unlock Condition: After unlocking Ultrahand.
\n Reward: Light of Blessing, unlocks Fuse ability. \n - Gutanbac Shrine (0791, -1291, 1531)
\n Solution: Ascend ability tutorial:
\n 1. Use Ascend through the first overhang to reach the upper platform.
\n 2. Move the movable platform under the stone ceiling, then Ascend through it.
\n 3. Climb the slope and claim your reward.
\n Unlock Condition: After unlocking Fuse.
\n Reward: Light of Blessing, unlocks Ascend ability. \n - Tukarok Shrine (1024, -1540, 1023)
\n Solution: Recall ability tutorial:
\n 1. Use Recall on the moving platform to reverse its direction back to you.
\n 2. Ride the platform through the spinning water wheel, then Recall the wheel to stop it long enough to cross.
\n 3. Recall the floating platform to ride it to the exit.
\n Unlock Condition: After unlocking Ascend.
\n Reward: Light of Blessing, unlocks Recall ability. \n - Mayaciqr Shrine (Missable) (0227, -1204, 1135)
\n Location: Hidden in a cave behind the waterfall between In-isa Shrine and the Nachoyah Shrine trail.
\n Solution: It’s a Blessing Shrine — walk in, open the chest, claim your Light.
\n Missable Warning: This shrine disappears permanently once you complete the final Great Sky Island tutorial and leave the island via the Recall gate. If you leave without unlocking it, you can never get this Light of Blessing, softlocking you from 100% completion unless you reload a pre-tutorial save. \n
