Help the legendary shield-surfer Selmie clear the Upheaval damage from her remote Hebra lodge and reopen her mountain retreat.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Find Selmie's Spot
Selmie's Spot is a remote mountain lodge in the Hebra region, northwest of the Hebra Peak. Launch from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower or climb from Rito Village and travel northwest through the snowfields. You will find Selmie outside her partially collapsed lodge, struggling to clear debris that fell during the Upheaval earthquakes. She is the legendary shield surfer from the era of Calamity Ganon and has rebuilt her retreat over the years.
2
Clear the Lodge Debris
Help Selmie clear the lodge by using Ultrahand to remove large fallen logs and boulders blocking the entrance and the surrounding course markers. There are six debris pieces to move in total: three blocking the lodge door, two on the main slope, and one large boulder that fell onto the timing post at the course start. Toss the debris off the mountain edge to clear space efficiently.
3
Run the Shield-Surfing Course
Once the course is cleared, Selmie challenges you to a timed shield-surf run down the mountain slope. Equip a durable shield (Knight's Shield or better), then hold ZL and press A to drop into shield surf. Navigate the marked gate flags down the slope — missing gates adds penalty time. Lean with the left stick to steer and maintain speed on the packed snow. Selmie's target time is posted at the start post.
4
Beat Selmie's Time and Claim the Reward
Beat her time to receive a Knight's Shield and unlock permanent access to the lodge as a resting spot and snowball bowling minigame. Snowball Bowling lets you roll snowballs down a lane at Zonai-shaped pins for rupee prizes. The shield-surfing course becomes a repeatable challenge, and future time records earn escalating rupee rewards. A fast enough run also unlocks Selmie's special commentary on shield-surfing techniques.
