Akkala Span Shrine

Maren's Tip

Remember — if a shrine gives Rauru's Blessing with no puzzle inside, the real challenge was reaching the entrance. Check the surrounding area!

Walkthrough

1. Step 1: Enter the arena and immediately survey the layout.
2. Two Blue Bokoblins stand on the arena floor — one wielding a spear (longer reach, slower attacks) and one carrying a spiked club (shorter range, high damage).
3. An elevated stone ledge runs along the right wall, providing critical height advantage.
4. Step 2: Sprint to the elevated ledge before engaging either enemy.
5. From this position, throw a Bomb Flower down at the Bokoblins to scatter them and break their guard stance.
6. The explosion staggers both for approximately 3 seconds.
7. Step 3: Drop down onto the staggered spear Bokoblin first (the greater threat at range) and deliver a full two-handed weapon combo — four heavy swings should eliminate it.
8. The club Bokoblin recovers and charges; sidestep its overhead slam to trigger a Flurry Rush for massive counter-damage.
9. Step 4: After both Blue Bokoblins fall, a Captain Bokoblin drops from a hidden platform above the arena.
10. This enemy has significantly more health and a devastating two-hit combo.
11. Do not trade blows — wait for its heavy horizontal swing, perform a backflip dodge to trigger Flurry Rush, and unload your strongest weapon.
12. Two Flurry Rush cycles defeat it.
13. Step 5: Before claiming the altar, loot the chest tucked behind the stone column near the arena entrance — it contains a Topaz (worth 180 rupees).
14. Hidden chest: The Topaz chest is easy to miss since it sits behind you as you face the Captain Bokoblin.
15. Ability needed: None specifically, but Flurry Rush timing is essential for the Captain.
16. Pro tip: Fuse a Rock Hammer to a weapon before entering — it deals bonus damage to armored enemies and the Captain Bokoblin counts as lightly armored.
