355 zelda breath of the wild - carrying blue flame at shorah hah shrine

Dear Readers,

I had a couple of quests I needed to do for the Gorons, so I warped to Goron City.

I took the long rail that wraps around the big lava lake to the north in order to get to the quest I wanted to do quickly, but when I got to the end of the rail there was a shrine! I thought hmm... it might be a difficult one since it was so easy to get to.

It was a fairly detailed shrine, but not too difficult. What I had to do was light lamps with a blue flame in order to clear obstacles on the way to the monk. Some of these were straight forward — just carry a torch to each lamp.

Then there were tricky ones where I had to hold an arrow up to a flame and shoot at unlit lamps in the distance. That caught me out before! Not this time!

Then there were these pumps shooting out water. I had to manoeuvre around them when they were flowing. I had to use stasis on the pumps a couple of times to stop the water so I could carry a blue flame through safely. Sometimes the pumps would shoot out a tiny bit of water to put out a flame, as if to mock my efforts! It was all very simple to figure out and it was just a thing to manage.

A few moments of excitement too where I got to beat up guardian scouts. That was fun.

The last puzzle was where I was surrounded with lamps and pumps. I had to do a spin attack with a lit torch to light all the lamps at once before any water could get out at them. After this, the way opened to the monk. Another nice little puzzle.
