1. Go Down the Hebra Mountains Northwest Cave

Rutafu-um Shrine is located deep within Hebra Mountains Northwest Cave. The entrance of the cave is just west of Selmie's Spot near Hebra East Summit.

When you find the mouth of the cave, look for a hole on the ground and glide down from there.

2. Fuse a Weapon with the Icicle Nearby

Inside the cave are a couple of icicles. There should be one near where you landed. Fuse this icicle with a weapon of your choice.

3. Defeat the Bokoblins in the Area

Continue forward to find a couple of Bokoblins hanging out by the icy lake. Defeat all of them before making your way to the shrine.

4. Examine the Shrine

After defeating the Bokoblins, venture deeper into the cave until you find the shrine. Examine the terminal to activate the The Northwest Hebra Cave Crystal Shrine Quest.

5. Build a Bridge of Ice Sheets

After activating the Shrine Quest, look for the shore on the north end of the icy lake. Take out the weapon you Fused with the icicle a while ago, and swing it on top of the water.

Hop on top of the ice sheet it creates and continue making sheets of ice until you've built a bridge that's long enough to reach the green crystal.

6. Grab the Green Crystal from the Lake

Once the green crystal is within reach, grab it from underwater using Ultrahand and bring it back to the shore.

7. Take the Green Crystal Back to the Shrine

Pick up the green crystal and return it to the shrine to unlock it.
