The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Simosiwak Shrine Guide


Simosiwak Shrine (0163, 1972, 0759) is located in the North Hyrule Sky Archipelago, directly above the Great Hyrule Forest. This sky shrine offers a unique challenge and a valuable reward for those who manage to complete it.


Finding the Shrine:

  1. Launch from a Skyview Tower: The best way to reach the shrine is by launching from a nearby Skyview Tower to gain height, and then gliding toward the North Hyrule Sky Archipelago.

  2. Navigate to the Great Hyrule Forest Sky Island: Once you're in the air, glide over the Great Hyrule Forest and head for the island floating above it in the sky.


Shrine Challenge: Proving Grounds: Lights Out

The challenge inside the Kiuyoyou Shrine is titled Proving Grounds: Lights Out, a combat trial with a twist. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Combat in Darkness: In this trial, the environment will likely be shrouded in darkness or feature low visibility, forcing you to rely on limited light sources, your hearing, and awareness to navigate and fight enemies.

  2. Inventory Stripped: As with all Proving Grounds challenges, you'll be stripped of your equipment and have to make use of the weapons and items scattered throughout the shrine.

  3. Stealth and Strategy: The darkness may give an advantage to stealth tactics. Using your surroundings to sneak up on enemies or set traps could be key to overcoming this challenge.

  4. Manage Resources: Collect any glowing or illuminating items you find along the way to help guide you through the shrine and assist in locating and defeating enemies.


Shrine Rewards: Bright Elixir

Upon completing the Lights Out trial, you'll be rewarded with a Bright Elixir, which is useful for navigating dark areas. This elixir grants visibility in pitch-black environments, making it easier to explore caves or shrines with low visibility.


The Simosiwak Shrine provides a thrilling, tactical combat challenge in near-total darkness, and the Bright Elixir reward is perfect for future explorations of dark areas in Hyrule!
