The Anedamimik Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of the many, many shrines players will discover through their adventures in Hyrule. Before players can enter this shrine and face its challenge, they must first discover how to gain access to the shrine’s entrance, which is submerged in water. Read on to learn how to unlock and solve the Anedamimik Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
How to Unlock Anedamimik Shrine
Anedamimik Shrine is located within Deepback Bay Cavern. The entrance to the cave can be found on the beach at coordinates 4206, -2291, 0000, directly East of Hateno Village. Upon entering the cave, the player has the choice to either run past the Horriblin or engage it in a fight and defeat the monster for its drops. The player will soon come across a shrine, but its entrance is currently underwater and inaccessible.
To progress, drop through one of the holes on either side. On a short ledge, the player will encounter a creature called a Like Like. Defeat it, and it will drop a chest containing a shield and arrows. With the Like Like out of the way, use bomb arrows to destroy the rock wall. This will cause the water to drain out from the room where you previously encountered the shrine.
The player should then head back to where they dropped and use the Ascend ability to get back up to the upper level. Proceeding forward, the player will now be able to enter Anedamimik Shrine.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Anedamimik Shrine Solution (A Retraced Path)
Upon entering the Anedamimik Shrine, the player will notice a ledge to the right with a treasure chest. To reach this chest, simply head over to the ledge, stand underneath and use the Ascend ability. Once at the top of the ledge, looting the chest will reward the player with a Large Zonai Charge.
The player should jump off the ledge and head to the pillar switch located in the center of the room. Here, the player will notice an opening in the wall to the right that dispenses a large ball, which will roll across the floor and off the ledge on the other side.
To solve the puzzle of this shrine, the player should wait until a ball has been dispensed, then attack the pillar switch on the ledge, which will shift the stairs toward the back of the shrine and relocate the hole in the wall to the location from where the ball was previously released. The player can drop the ball into any of the openings in the floor to have the wall dispenser provide a new ball.
Activate the Recall ability and target the ball, then activate the Recall. This will cause the ball to roll backward through the now-open space and into the relocated hole in the wall.
Doing so will raise the gate blocking the end of the shrine. Link should proceed through the gate once opened, during Recall, as once Recall ends and the ball falls from the hole, the gate will close once more.
The player should then enter the open gate and collect the Light of Blessing from the statues. This completes the Anedamimik Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
