Kadipih 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: Kadipih Shrine is a Rauru's Blessing shrine in the Depths, unlocked by completing the "Bargainer Statue's Request" quest.
2. This quest begins at the large Bargainer Statue — a towering stone figure located in a cavern near the Construct Factory in the central Depths region.
3. Reach the Bargainer Statue by descending through the chasm beneath Hyrule Castle or navigating from any Depths Lightroot and following the underground paths toward the factory's glow.
4. Step 2: Interact with the Bargainer Statue.
5. It requests a tribute of 150 Poe points in exchange for a crystal activation token.
6. Poes are the ghostly blue flames scattered throughout the Depths — you should have collected plenty during exploration.
7. If you are short, the nearest dense Poe cluster is along the abandoned mining tunnels east of the factory (roughly 30 Poes within a 200-meter stretch).
8. Step 3: After paying the 150 Poe tribute, the statue produces a glowing green crystal activation token.
9. Grab it with Ultrahand.
10. The shrine receptacle is located approximately 400 meters northwest of the Bargainer Statue, in a narrow alcove carved into the cavern wall.
11. Step 4: The path to the receptacle passes through two Gloom Hand clusters — these are the most dangerous enemies in the Depths.
12. Each cluster consists of five grasping hands that emerge from gloom pools and chase you relentlessly.
13. Direct combat is possible but costly (they inflict permanent heart damage).
14. The safer approach: stick to the narrow rock passages along the cavern walls.
15. Gloom Hands cannot fit through passages narrower than 2 meters, and several natural rock corridors along the route provide safe transit.
16. Step 5: Use Brightbloom Seeds to illuminate the path ahead and identify the narrow passages before the Gloom Hands detect you.
17. Move at a steady pace — sprinting creates noise that attracts their attention from farther away.
18. If a Gloom Hand does detect you, do not fight.
19. Sprint through the nearest narrow passage and wait 15 seconds for the hands to lose interest and retreat.
20. Step 6: Place the crystal token into the glowing green receptacle in the alcove.
21. The shrine materializes with a burst of green light.
22. Enter and walk directly to the altar — no puzzle, no combat.
23. Claim your Light of Blessing with well-earned relief after the dangerous journey.
24. Hidden chest: Inside the shrine, a chest near the altar contains a Sundelion (restores hearts lost to gloom damage — symbolic given the journey to reach this point).
25. Ability needed: Ultrahand for carrying the crystal token.
26. Brightbloom Seeds are essential for navigating the dark path.
27. No abilities used inside the shrine.
28. Pro tip: The Bargainer Statue trades other valuable items for Poes beyond this quest — return after completing the shrine to purchase Depths-exclusive armor pieces and rare materials.
29. Poe farming in the Depths is one of the most efficient ways to acquire these items.
