The Sifumim Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will strip Link of all of his armor and equipment and throws him into an all-out war with a couple of deadly Constructs, also known as the Guardians of the Shrine of Light.

Sifumim Shrine Location in TotK

To reach the Sifumim Shrine in Hyrule, players should make their way to East Necluda, in the southeastern section of the map, not too far from Lurelin Village (which players will have to restore by fighting enemy pirates). The coordinates for the Sifumim Shrine are roughly 2823, -3266, 0078, and it's southeast of the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower and north of Tuft Mountain. The image below will show the shrine's location on the map.

As soon as players step foot into the Sifumim Shrine, players will be stripped away of their weapons and armor, leaving Link pretty defenseless. The good thing is, though, he'll still have all of his special abilities, like Recall and Ultrahand, that will definitely come in handy when dealing with the multiple Constructs, especially the ones standing on the moving boats on the water.

The two major tips Tears of the Kingdom players should know before going into this fight is that A) the Constructs are weak to water, so if they fall into it, they will die immediately. And B, players can use Ultrahand to move the boats around, easily knocking the archer Constructs into the water.

At the beginning of the shrine, get rid of the first Construct on the boat by moving it with Ultrahand and then jump into the water and swim over to the left side to find a ladder to reach the main platform.

As for the Constructs that are not on the boats, they can either be smacked into the water with a good melee weapon hit, and players can utilize the nearby Ice and Shock fruits to stun them too by fusing them to arrows.

There are also some red explosive barrels on the main platform that can be picked up with Ultrahand and then dropped onto the enemies. Just be careful to take a step or two back, or else the explosion will kill Link in an instant.

Once the Constructs are all gone, the door to the Shrine's 'exit' will open, and players can open the chest to find a Captain II Reaper weapon with an attack power of 27. Of course, Link will also get a Light of Blessing upon the shrine's completion.
