Hidden in Lanayru’s mist, Jogou Shrine guards a riddle that rewrites the quest-and the road to the shrine itself becomes part of the puzzle.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
Jogou Shrine location
Jogou Shrine sits in the Lanayru region, just off the eastern section of Lanayru Road, not far from the Lanayru Road – East Cave entrance. Its coordinates are approximately (3345, -0450, 0065). The shrine can be reached by traveling east from Kakariko Village or following the mountain path leading toward Mount Lanayru. Watch for an entrance near a small cluster of ruins and rocky slopes before entering the cave that connects directly to the shrine.
The Jogou shrine is found within the Lanayru Great Spring region. Looking at the map, you’ll want to head to the river in the deep canyon of the East Necluda region, where you’ll find a stone bridge along the water called Lanayru Road – East Gate.
Hop off the bridge toward the water and glide (or swim) eastward. You’ll soon reach an underground cave – specifically, the Lanayru Road East Cave.
Head through this cave to reach the shrine’s coordinates (3346, -1187, 0057), although of course you’ll face some challenges along the way.
At the outset, this cave is mostly filled with water, so if you have the Zora Armor or food that increases your swim speed, use it to your advantage. As you head eastward, deeper into the cave, you’ll run into Octoroks and glowing cave fish along the way, as well as ore deposits that you can smash open to find precious gems.
Keep on heading east, further and further into the watery cave, until you hit land – and a Rock Like, who will spit boulders at you until you defeat it. Keep on going, still eastward, into a large cavern. In the center of this room, you’ll be able to see the green glow of the exterior of Jogou Shrine peeking out from behind a huge rock structure surrounded by a moat.
Before diving in, walk around the side of the moat; feel free to mine more Ore Deposits or grab brightbloom seeds and brightcap mushrooms if you want them. To the left, you might see an opening that looks like it’ll take you deeper into the cave; that’s actually another entrance (or exit) for this cave. To the right, there’s a different small opening with a Bubbulfrog inside.
As you keep walking around the edge of the moat surrounding Jogou Shrine, you’ll run into the big challenge of this room (and this shrine): It’s a big ol’ Black Boss Bokoblin followed by five Black Bokoblins. This fight will be tough, so here’s the good news: Jogou Shrine will be puzzle-free once you actually get inside. We survived this battle by strafing around a lot, carefully picking off each of the smaller Bokoblins before finally conquering the big guy.
There’s an Octorok waiting in the moat as well, but after that big Bokoblin battle, you should make quick work of it.
You have two options to get to the Shrine; the first is the most obvious, which is to swim across the moat and climb up the rock structure to get to the front door of Jogou Shrine. The rock structure surrounding the shrine is covered in water and moss, meaning you’ll need a sticky elixir to climb it – or you can put on Froggy Armor, if you have it.
There’s an easier way, though, if you have some arrows and bomb flowers. Walk around to the far end of the rock structure surrounding the shrine, and you’ll see a section of rocks that can be blown up. This will reveal a much shorter, easier climb up to the shrine.
Jogou Shrine walkthrough
Jogou Shrine, found inside the Lanayru Road East Cave, challenges players with puzzles focused on the movement of water and precise timing. To reach it, follow the cave’s winding path while clearing loose rocks and avoiding enemies within the narrow tunnels. Inside the shrine, use the available Zonai devices to manipulate water flow and create platforms that lead to the final chamber. Solving these mechanics rewards you with a Light of Blessing and a fast travel point for easier access through Lanayru’s mountainous region.
Jogou Shrine par Celestial Gate
Jogou Shrine lies within Lanayru Road East Cave, accessible near Lanayru Road – East Gate, which serves as a key landmark often called a “celestial gate” in some French guides (“par Celestial Gate” likely refers to this eastern gate approach). No direct shrine puzzle involves a celestial gate; the challenge centers on cave navigation to reach Rauru’s Blessing.
Location Details
Head west from Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower toward Lanayru Road – East Gate at coordinates around (3074, -1138, 0092). Jump under the bridge into the water, glide to luminous stone deposits marking the cave entrance, and swim inside to face enemies like Bokoblins and Octoroks.
Cave Walkthrough
Swim past the Octorok, defeat or avoid the patrolling Black Boss Bokoblin and minions circling a central island, then destroy breakable rocks on the moat’s edge with bomb arrows to access the shrine alcove. Alternatively, use Ultrahand on a rock with Recall for an elevator to the visible shrine section high up, skipping some combat.
Shrine Solution
Enter for Rauru’s Blessing-no puzzles required. Open the chest for a Hearty Elixir, then interact with the green gate at the end for a Light of Blessing.
Como derrotar os Bokoblins na caverna
Para derrotar os Bokoblins na Lanayru Road East Cave em Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, priorize furtividade ou ataques à distância para evitar combates diretos no círculo central da caverna.
Estratégias Principais
-
Nade até a ilha central após o Octorok e use bombas de rocha ou flechas explosivas para destruir as rochas quebráveis na borda do fosso, revelando o acesso ao santuário sem necessidade de lutar.
-
Se engajar em combate, mire flechas na cabeça do Black Boss Bokoblin e nos lacaios (2-3 ao redor da fogueira); um arco forte ou flechas elementais os eliminam rapidamente.
Alternativa Avançada
Use Ultrahand em uma rocha elevada com Recall para criar um elevador até a alcova superior do santuário, pulando todos os Bokoblins.
