Hidden deep within Mount Dunsel Cave, the Bamitok Shrine challenges players with puzzles that twist perception and demand precision. This guide reveals how to find its concealed entrance and conquer every obstacle inside for a clean, rewarding completion.
Bamitok Shrine location
Bamitok Shrine is found inside Mount Dunsel Cave in the Faron region, southeast of Lurelin Village. The cave entrance sits on the mountain’s southern slope at coordinates roughly (3093, -3208, -0009). To access it, glide or climb up from the nearby cliffs and follow the tunnel until reaching the shrine chamber. Players may also spot a few enemy camps and ore deposits along the way, making the route both challenging and rewarding to explore.
Bamitok Shrine is found inside of the Mount Dunsel Cave in the East Necluda Region. The cave can be found just north of Lurelin Village with the entrance being half submerged in water.
The exact coordinates for the shrine are (3094, -3209, 0082).
How to get to Mount Dunsel Cave
Mount Dunsel Cave lies south of the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower in the Necluda region. Glide south from the tower toward the coastline until you reach the cliffs close to Mount Dunsel. The cave entrance sits on a rocky ledge facing the ocean, marked by a cluster of luminous stones. Use a paraglider or climb up from the shoreline path leading from the nearby fishing area to reach the entrance safely.
Mount Dunsel Cave can be found just north of Lurelin Village in the East Necluda region at the coordinates (3290, -3304, 0066). To access the cave, you can either glide down to the entrance from above if you have the teleport waypoint for the Kumamayn Shrine or you can climb up the side of the mountain from the Sifumim Shrine.
There is also a waterfall on the north side of the Lurelin Village that you can swim up if you have the Zora Armor set, but if you haven’t cleared the village of its pirate problem, you may run into a lot of enemies. The cave’s entrance is surrounded by a lake, so you can either build a boat or slowly swim across the water.
Bamitok Shrine walkthrough
Inside Mount Dunsel Cave, the Bamitok Shrine presents a challenge that focuses on climbing and observation. Use the Ascend ability to move through the cave’s layered chambers, watching for weak rock walls that can be broken to reveal hidden paths. Light the area with Brightbloom Seeds to spot ledges and ceilings that allow upward movement. Reaching the shrine itself requires patience and awareness of your surroundings rather than combat, rewarding careful exploration with a straightforward completion once inside.
Bamitok Shrine tests your exploring skills as it is hidden away inside a cave and finding the shrine itself is the challenge.
1. Make your way to Mount Dunsel Cave.
2. Swim across the water into the shrine. If you haven’t upgraded your stamina, don’t dash because you will not make it across!
3. Proceed into the cave to find a Horriblin and a chest blocked off by vines.
4. Defeat the Horriblin and then swing at the vines to break them.
5. Open the chest to receive a royal bow.
6. Continue down the path to find two Shock Likes hanging from the ceiling. You can either defeat them and collect their loot, or run past them and go deeper into the cave.
7. Once the Shock Likes have been dealt with, venture further into the cave to find an elevated ledge with water underneath it on your left and a Stalkoblin besides a wooden pallet and a wooden box on your right.
8. Glide down to the right side of the room and defeat the Stalkoblin.
9. Grab the wooden pallet with Ultrahand and place it on the water underneath the elevated ledge.
10. Use Ascend to rise to the top of the ledge.
11. Turn to your right to find two Rock Likes hanging from the ceiling. You can either defeat them and collect their loot, or run past them up the rocky slope.
