Quick Links
While a majority of the Shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be easily found by simply exploring the world of Hyrule, some of them are more hidden than others, requiring the completion of a side quest before appearing. These quests are called Shrine Quests, and one of them is located in West Necluda called "Keys Born of Water." By completing this quest from a Steward Construct, TotK players can reveal the hidden Jochisiu Shrine.
TotK: Keys Born of Water Shrine Quest Location
To find the Steward Construct that gives Link the Shrine Quest, TotK players should head to the south section of Hyrule. The location of the quest is southeast of Hyrule Field, not that far northeast of the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower. (For a guide on how to fix the Popla Foothills tower, fans can click this link). The coordinates for the side quest are 0954, -1874, 0011. The location is shown on the map below as well.
TotK: Keys Born of Water Shrine Quest Walkthrough
Speak to the Construct underneath the stone slab structure, and they will tell players to give keys born of water to the three altars nearby. After doing so, the hidden shrine will reveal itself. The clues that the NPC gives are pretty vague, so some players might be confused as to what they actually have to do to complete this puzzle; however, the solution is rather simple.
The first thing players should do is grab the nearby Flame Emitter in the room where the Construct is. Attach it to a shield or just pick it up and then use the fire to light up the pile of wood. Now that the fire is going strong, players should pick up the(we fused it to one of our weaker shields).
Now that players have the Frost Emitter, they should walk over to the closest body of water, stand on the shore, and freeze the water until a square piece of ice is created.
Make sure it's a square shape and not a rectangle, as it won't work for this quest. Pick up the piece of ice with Link's new Ultrahand ability and carry it back to the NPC. There are three diamond-shaped recesses in the altars next to the Construct, and essentially, players need to bring back three pieces of ice to fit into the holes. However, the other two recesses are smaller, so to fit the rest of the ice pieces, players need to hold the ice over the flame to melt it a little bit until it's a perfect size.
Once players fit the pieces into all three holes, the quest will be completed, and the Jochisiu Shrine will reveal itself on top of the structure. Luckily, there's no puzzle to solve in the shrine.
Players can simply walk in to earn themselves yet another Light of Blessing. There's also a chest inside containing a Big Battery, which can hold energy for powering up Tears of the Kingdom's Zonai Devices.
