The White Bird's Guidance Shrine Quest Walkthrough

1. Talk with Laissa
2. Head to the Cave
3. Enter the Cave
4. Go Deeper in the Cave

1. Talk with Laissa

Head towards Rito Village by launching yourself from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower, and gliding south.

From there, find Laissa in Rito Village and talk with her to begin The White Bird's Guidance Shrine Quest.

2. Head to the Cave

Wao-os Shrine is a little tricky to find as it's hidden inside a cave. You'll need to find the West Lake Totori Cave entrance which can be found in the spot marked above.

Glide from the area where you have interacted with Laissa, and head northeast towards the indicated spot.

3. Enter the Cave

The cave entrance is dark and elevated from the road level, so you'll need to climb up to a ledge with a patch of snow to find the entrance.

4. Go Deeper in the Cave

From the pond, head to the left of the cave and follow the path down until you find the shrine!

Wao-os Shrine Puzzle Solution

1. Attach the Bowl
2. Place the Ball
3. Launch the Ball
4. Attach the Plank
5. Launch Yourself
6. Reattach the Plank
7. Reattach the Bow
8. Hit the Higher Target
9. Launch to the Exit
10. Examine the Shrine

1. Attach the Bowl

When you enter the Shrine, you'll find a few items on the left side and a platform. Take the bowl-like object and attach it with UItrahand to the end of the platform closest to you. This will create a catapult of sorts!

2. Place the Ball

Take the large metal ball and place it inside the bowl!

3. Launch the Ball

With the Ball in place, take the box and drop it on the other end of the platform to launch the ball towards the lower target! This will open up the gate to reveal a wooden plank.

4. Attach the Plank

With the plank, extend the platform by attaching it to the middle. You won't need the bowl just yet though.

5. Launch Yourself

Step on the plank and use the box and launch yourself upwards. Once you're high up, glide to the right to find the platform with a chest. Open it to snag a Spicy Elixir.

6. Reattach the Plank

Now that you have the chest, remove the plank and reattach it to the end of the platform so that it's as long as possible.

7. Reattach the Bowl

The plank extension has 2 horizontal lines on it. Reattach the bowl to the second line and not the end of the plank so it does not throw the ball too high. Place the ball in the bowl!

8. Hit the Higher Target

Once again, drop the box from its highest point on the end of this platform to send the ball flying and it should hit the higher target.

9. Launch to the Exit

Stand on the end of the platform and launch yourself with the box towards the exit! Simply glide towards it once you're high up and you should see the shrine!

10. Examine the Shrine

Examine the Shrine to receive your reward!
