Hidden beneath Hyrule’s surface, the Susub Shrine challenges players with puzzles shrouded in darkness and slimy hazards. This guide reveals its exact location, the safest path through its tunnels, and the tricks needed to conquer its glowing trials.
Our guide will help you find the Susub Shrine location to find its reward and receive the Light of Blessing. The Susub Shrine itself is pretty well hidden inside the Deya Village Ruins, inside a cave that’s accessible via a well. There’s no puzzle inside of the Susub Shrine; finding it is the challenge itself.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
Susub Shrine location
Susub Shrine is found in the Dueling Peaks region, hidden inside a cave south of the Hills of Baumer. To reach it, travel west from the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower and follow the river that runs through Deya Village Ruins. The entrance to the Susub Cave is located near a waterfall, with glowing blue mushrooms marking the way inside. Once you enter, defeat the Like Like enemies and follow the tunnel deeper until you spot the shrine near the back of the cave.
The Susub Shrine is found within Hyrule’s West Necluda region at the coordinates of (0348, -2050, -0026). But if you head to that location, you won’t spot the shrine itself. That’s because the Susub Shrine is hidden inside a cave accessible by a well – the Deya Village Ruins West Well. You can find that well at the coordinates of (0320, -1925, 0011). It’s right on one of the islands of Deya Lake, marked below with a star.
Susub Shrine Shrine walkthrough
The Susub Shrine challenges players to use Rauru’s abilities to solve a series of puzzles involving moving stone slabs and using platforms to reach higher areas. Use Ultrahand to stack or bridge slabs across gaps, and ensure you maintain balance when constructing paths. The final section requires precise placement to access the exit and claim the Light of Blessing reward.
There’s no challenge inside the Susub Shrine; instead, it’s the journey to the shrine that serves as the puzzle.
1. Head to the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower. If you’ve unlocked it already, this is going to be a breeze. Otherwise, follow our guide to do that first.
2. Launch yourself into the air and head northwest. You’re aiming for Deya Lake and the Deya Village Ruins, which are a series of islands at the northwest corner of the lake. You’ll see a tall rock structure , which you can use as a landmark. The rock structure is very close to the chasm, which you’ll definitely see on your journey. You don’t have to glide very far, so dive a bit first before starting to glide.
3. The well is located right at the base of that big rock structure at the coordinates of (0320, -1925, 0011). The well is sealed off with rocks, so you’ll want to blast that open. We recommend a bomb arrow for precision.
4. Once it’s open, hop in.
5. You’ll head southeast once you’re inside the well’s cave. You may see a Like Like on your way. There’s also a Stone Talus that you’ll want to avoid if you’re not looking for a fight.
6. You’ll see the shrine glowing on a cliffside. You can use Zora armor to get up the waterfall, or climb the rocks to reach the shrine.
How to defeat the Stone Talus guarding Susub Shrine
Defeating the Stone Talus guarding Susub Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom requires targeting its glowing ore deposit weak point on its lower back.
Combat Strategy
Climb onto the Talus’s back during openings, such as after dodging its boulder throws or punches, and attack the ore with a hammer, two-handed weapon spin attack (hold Y), or fused blunt tools for maximum damage. Use Recall on thrown boulders to stun it and create climbing opportunities, or shoot arrows at the ore from range to knock it over temporarily.
Additional Tips
Stay mobile to avoid slams and rock throws, parry punches if close, and use nearby bomb flowers or Brightbloom Seeds from the cave for visibility and explosives. Skipping the fight by gliding past is viable, but defeating it clears loot like Flint and yields materials for upgrades.
What weapons or elixirs are best for climbing to Susub Shrine after Talus
Climbing the slippery walls to Susub Shrine after the Stone Talus requires aids to prevent sliding on the damp surfaces in the Deya Village Ruins cave.
Best Climbing Gear
Wear the Froggy Armor set, obtained from the Great Fairy Fountains after progressing with musicians like Paya in Kakariko Village, for its slip resistance that negates slippery surfaces entirely.
Sticky Elixirs Recipe
Cook Sticky Frogs or Sticky Lizards (found near water or trees in Necluda) with monster parts like Bokoblin horns-the more sticky ingredients, the longer the duration, up to several minutes of enhanced grip.
Alternative Methods
Zora Armor lets you swim up the waterfall pouring from the shrine ledge without slipping. For non-equipment options, use Recall on floating platforms or Zonai devices like a wooden plank held against the wall to ascend gradually.
