Kamizun 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. Proving Grounds: Beginner.
2. Kamizun Shrine is in Central Hyrule near Lookout Landing and serves as the game's first real combat tutorial shrine.
3. All your equipment is temporarily removed.
4. Step 1: Collect the Construct Sword and three arrows from the pedestal near the entrance.
5. Do not skip the arrows — they are critical for staggering.
6. Step 2: A single Construct Soldier patrols the small arena.
7. It telegraphs every attack with a clear wind-up animation (its arm pulls back for about 1 second).
8. Sidestep the swing and immediately counterattack with one sword strike.
9. Do not attempt multiple hits — one strike, then dodge out.
10. Step 3: After taking three hits, the Construct switches to a spin attack (it hunches and begins rotating).
11. Back away to safe distance and wait for the spin to end — it lasts about 3 seconds.
12. Once it stops, close in and deliver three more strikes.
13. Step 4: If you need breathing room at any point, fire an arrow at the Construct's head to stagger it and reset its attack pattern.
14. The altar unlocks when the Construct falls.
15. Pro tip: This shrine teaches the fundamental combat rhythm of TotK — observe the wind-up, dodge, punish with one hit, retreat.
16. This pattern works on nearly every enemy in the game.
17. Mastering it here makes every future combat shrine significantly easier.
18. Hidden chest: After defeating the Construct, check behind the starting pedestal.
19. A small chest with a Construct Shield is easy to miss.
