Angaku 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 Angaku Shrine in the Lanayru Wetlands and immediately observe the main hazard — the entire floor is covered in shallow water that conducts electricity.
2. A locked gate blocks the path forward, controlled by an electric circuit with two broken segments.
3. Two metal conductor blocks sit near the entrance, and exposed copper terminals line both walls.
4. Step 2: Use Ultrahand to grab the first metal block.
5. Position it carefully between the left terminal pair on the wall — you must bridge the gap precisely so the block contacts both copper plates simultaneously.
6. Sparks fly and a hum confirms the connection is live.
7. Critical safety note: do NOT touch the metal block or stand in the water near it while the circuit is active, or you will take significant electric damage.
8. Step 3: Grab the second metal block with Ultrahand and carry it to the right terminal pair.
9. This one is slightly farther apart than the left pair — rotate the block 90 degrees so its longer axis bridges the wider gap.
10. When both circuits close simultaneously, the locked gate ahead slides open with a mechanical grinding sound.
11. Step 4: Before proceeding to the altar, check the alcove to the right of the now-open gate.
12. A chest containing a Topaz (worth 180 rupees, and a key material for upgrading Rubber Armor at Great Fairy Fountains) sits against the back wall.
13. Step 5: Walk through the gate to the altar and claim your Light of Blessing.
14. Hidden chest: The Topaz in the right alcove past the gate — easy to miss if you walk straight to the altar.
15. Ability needed: Ultrahand is the only ability required.
16. Precise block placement and rotation are the core skills tested.
17. Pro tip: If you get shocked, it means you are standing in the water too close to a live circuit.
18. Use the dry stone platforms along the edges as safe zones while positioning blocks.
19. The Rubber Armor set (available from a side quest in Lurelin Village) grants shock immunity and trivializes this shrine entirely.
