Arancia Shrine

Maren's Tip

Remember — if a shrine gives Rauru's Blessing with no puzzle inside, the real challenge was reaching the entrance. Check the surrounding area!

Walkthrough

1. Step 1: Enter Arancia Shrine in the Hebra region and survey the main chamber.
2. A frozen river bisects the room — a thick mass of ice blocks the main walkway and conceals a pressure plate embedded in the floor beneath it.
3. The walkway is impassable until the ice is cleared.
4. On the far side of the frozen river, a second section contains the altar, but a raised bridge prevents crossing.
5. Step 2: Melt the ice mass blocking the walkway.
6. You have two options: fire a Fire Arrow directly at the center of the ice block (two arrows for full melt), or use a Flame Emitter Zonai device placed adjacent to the ice (faster but consumes battery).
7. As the ice melts, the released water flows into a carved stone channel running along the floor.
8. This channel feeds a water wheel mechanism on the wall.
9. Step 3: The flowing water spins the water wheel, which is mechanically connected to the raised bridge via a gear system.
10. As the wheel turns, the bridge lowers into a walkable position spanning the frozen river.
11. The bridge remains down as long as water continues flowing — the melt volume provides enough water for approximately 90 seconds, plenty of time to cross.
12. Step 4: Sprint across the lowered bridge to the second section.
13. Here, a heavy stone door is sealed shut by another large ice block frozen directly against its surface, locking the door mechanism in place.
14. Fire a second Fire Arrow at this ice block (or use the Flame Emitter again) to melt it.
15. The door mechanism releases once the ice clears, and it slides open.
16. Step 5: Behind the now-open door, a treasure chest sits on a pedestal containing a Sapphire (worth 260 rupees — also a key upgrade material for Snowquill armor at Great Fairy Fountains, providing essential cold resistance for Hebra exploration).
17. Do not skip this chest.
18. Step 6: Continue past the chest room through the corridor to the altar at the shrine's far end.
19. Claim your Light of Blessing.
20. Hidden chest: The Sapphire behind the ice-sealed door in the second section.
21. Ability needed: No shrine abilities (Ultrahand, Ascend, Recall, Fuse) are required.
22. The puzzle is solved entirely with environmental manipulation — fire melts ice, water powers machinery.
23. Fire Arrows or a Flame Emitter Zonai device are the key tools.
24. Pro tip: If you lack Fire Arrows, use Fuse to attach a Fire Fruit or Ruby to a regular arrow for the same effect.
25. Alternatively, drop a bundle of Wood near the ice and strike it with a Flint to start a fire — the radiant heat melts nearby ice over about 15 seconds, slower but free.
