The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – All Faron Shrine Locations and Solutions


The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features 152 Shrines in total, with 120 located on the Surface and 32 in the Sky. While there are no Shrines in the Depths, you'll find Lightroots there, which serve as fast travel points, similar to Shrines. Each Shrine offers a mini-dungeon filled with puzzles and rewards, including at least one Treasure Chest and a Light of Blessing.


Faron Locations

Utsushok Shrine ( -3807, 2698, 0172)


The Utsushok Shrine ( -3807, 2698, 0172) in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of many shrines that challenge players with puzzles or combat trials to earn Light of Blessing or other rewards. Located in the Hebra region, this shrine features the Proving Grounds: Vehicles challenge, where you must defeat enemies using a variety of Zonai vehicles, which are a central mechanic in Tears of the Kingdom.


Shrine Challenge: Proving Grounds - Vehicles

The main goal in Utsushok Shrine is to defeat all the constructs (enemies) in the area. The shrine is packed with Zonai devices like fans, wheels, and flamethrowers, which you can use to create vehicles or weapons. Here’s a step-by-step strategy:

  1. Survey the Area:

    • Take a moment to look around and spot the enemies. Note where Zonai devices and materials are placed, as you’ll need to use them creatively.

  2. Build a Combat Vehicle:

    • There are several Zonai devices around, including fans, wheels, and flamethrowers. You can create different types of vehicles, like:

      • Flame-chariot: Attach flamethrowers to a platform with wheels or fans. This allows you to drive close to enemies and unleash fire.

      • Ram vehicle: Attach fans to a simple platform and drive it toward enemies to knock them over.

    • Tip: Attach fans to increase speed, but make sure to control the vehicle so it doesn’t veer off too wildly.

  3. Using Zonai Weapons:

    • Scattered around the shrine are Zonai weapons, such as construct bows, spears, and swords. Equip these as needed, especially if you prefer close combat over vehicle combat.

  4. Combat Strategy:

    • Flamethrowers: If you have a flamethrower-equipped vehicle, stay on the move to hit multiple constructs.

    • Sneak Attacks: You can use stealth to approach enemies if you prefer a quieter approach. The constructs are less likely to detect you if you stick to the edges.

    • Using the Environment: Some areas have height differences that you can use for sniping with a bow or evading enemies.

  5. Eliminate All Constructs:

    • Continue using vehicles or weapons until all constructs are defeated. Don’t forget that if a vehicle is destroyed, you can build a new one using available materials.


Rewards

After defeating all the constructs, a chest will appear. This chest often contains:

  • A useful Zonai device or weapon.

  • After claiming the chest, you’ll receive a Light of Blessing, which you can use to upgrade your stamina or health at a Goddess Statue.


Tips for Success

  • Experiment with Zonai Devices: The vehicles here can be tricky to control, but experimenting with different combinations can make combat easier.

  • Stay on the Move: Constructs hit hard, so keep moving and use vehicles to evade attacks.

  • Patience is Key: Take your time to plan your vehicle builds and strategies. Rushing may lead to losing valuable devices and increasing the difficulty.


With these tips, the Utsushok Shrine should be a fun and manageable challenge.
