Dokabok 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 Dokabok Shrine on a Sky region island platform and prepare for a beginner-level combat encounter against a single weakened Construct Soldier.
2. This shrine is designed as an early-game combat tutorial, but the open-air platform with no guardrails adds a unique environmental hazard — falling off the edge sends you plummeting thousands of meters, requiring you to Paraglider back up and retry, wasting significant stamina.
3. Step 2: Upon entering the arena, observe the Construct Soldier's patrol pattern.
4. It walks clockwise around a large central stone pillar at a steady pace, pausing briefly at each cardinal point (north, east, south, west) before continuing.
5. The Construct is a basic melee variant with a Construct Sword and no shield.
6. Step 3: Position yourself behind the central stone pillar, opposite the Construct's current position.
7. Wait for it to patrol around to your side — when its back is facing you (it has not detected you yet), sprint forward and deliver a backstab attack by pressing Y while directly behind it.
8. The backstab deals double damage and staggers the Construct for 2 seconds.
9. Step 4: Immediately follow the backstab with two more melee strikes.
10. The Construct's total health pool is low enough that the backstab plus two regular hits should defeat it.
11. If it survives, it will attempt a slow overhead sword swing — sidestep to either side (not backward, to avoid the platform edge) and deliver the finishing blow.
12. Step 5: Once the Construct falls, it drops a Construct Horn and its Construct Sword.
13. Pick up both — the horn is a useful Fuse material (adds 5 attack power) and the sword serves as a reliable backup weapon.
14. Step 6: The altar sits on the platform's east side, marked by its distinctive green glow.
15. Walk over and claim your Light of Blessing.
16. Hidden chest: A small chest sits on the platform's northern edge, partially obscured by the central stone pillar.
17. It contains three arrows — easy to miss if you head straight to the altar after the fight.
18. Ability needed: No shrine abilities required — pure melee combat.
19. Pro tip: This shrine teaches the fundamental stealth-combat loop: observe patrol pattern, position for backstab, execute, follow up.
20. This same approach works on nearly every patrolling enemy in TotK, including Bokoblin camps, Lizalfos sentries, and even some mini-bosses.
21. Master it here and it pays dividends throughout the entire game.
