Though Rauru’s Blessing Shrines don’t give players a puzzle to solve inside, there is a surprising amount of variety to this type ofLegend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomShrine. Mayahisik Shrine is one that doesn’t have many requirements. It doesn’t test players' abilities, nor can it only be unlocked bytransporting a green crystal.

Instead, Mayahisik Shrine is revealed to players in one of two ways: a relatively hidden mechanic inTears of the Kingdomthat highlights cave locations, or bycontinuing the Purah Pad questlineat the Hateno Village Research Lab. Either way, once Link has found it, he only needs to walk inside to find the Mayahisik Treasure Chest and Light of Blessing.
Mayahisik Shrine Location
Mayahisik Shrine is found insideRetsam Forest Cave in East Necluda, which is a location hidden from players behind a wall of breakable stone, but there are few things that hint at its existence. It’s just belowthe Hateno Village Research Lab, also called the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, to the east of Hateno Village. Just outside the Lab’s entrance on the hill, players should see a curved ramp leading upward, with sheer drops on each side.
Retsam Forest Cave connects the two sides of this ramp, and is blocked by destroyable rocks at both entrances. Head to the inner side of this ramp, the wall that faces the Lab, and look for these destroyable rocks. Getting into Mayahisik Shrine is as easy as activating it and entering it, but players should either progress Robbie’s quest nearby, or complete a hidden feature on a nearby hill to reveal its location and get some nice extra rewards, too.

A Korok doesn’t appear, though. Instead, one of the game’s most majestic creatures appears out of nowhere andhighlights nearby caves for Link. The Satori, which looks like the Lord of the Mountain fromTears of the Kingdom’s predecessor, willsummon beams of blue light to mark where underground caves can be found.
From the top of the hill, ride Link’s paraglider northeast toward Hateno Village Research Lab. On the ramp leading up, players should see two of the Satori lights on either side of the path – head to one of these to find the entrance to Retsam Forest Cave, either side works. Once players make it to Mayahisik Shrine, head inside to find the Shrine chest and a Light of Blessing without any other puzzles to solve.
What’s In The Mayahisik Shrine Chest?
The Mayahisik Shrine chest containsaMagic Scepter, which isa stronger version of theMagic Rodplayers can find across Hyrule from Wizrobes andPoe Bargainer statues in the Depths. The Magic Scepter, like the Magic Rod, can be fused to specific Gems to unlock new powers within them. For example, a Magic Rod fused to anOpalshoots out balls of water, while a Magic Rod fused to aTopazshoots out lightning spheres.
Head to the back of the Shrine to collect its Light of Blessing, thenuse Ascend just outside to get to Hateno Village Research Lab a little bit faster. Inside, players should talk to Robbie, who asks Link to use his new Sensor module for the Purah Pad to investigate a local cave. Having already done so, Robbie will be impressed by Link, and the Sensor questline will be finished as soon as it’s started.
