Rutafu-um Shrine Walkthrough In Tears of the Kingdom
The Rutafu-um Shrine is aRauru’s Blessing shrinethat does not feature any puzzles inside of it, but will require a large green crystal to unlock and open the shrine. The Hebra Mountain Northwest Cave contains one room with a giant pool of water in the middle, a small group of four Bokoblins, and the shrine at the other end of the cave.
The green crystal is at the bottom of the pool of water and is too far away from Link to useUltrahandon it. The water is also freezing, which will damage Link the longer he either stands or swims in it. There are a few methods to get the crystal from the pond.
Players can attach several long icicles and rocks nearby, then use Ultrahand to push the giant makeshift stick into the water and attach it to the crystal to pull it out. Another way is to melt the nearby ice blockswith fireto discover a chest containingthree Zonai wings,then use them as platforms.
Or players can use anyIce Fruitsin their inventory to throw into the water andmake ice platforms. Any of these methods can work to fish out the crystal and use Ultrahand to carry it to the shrine structure on the other side.
The Rutafu-um Shrine will be completed once the crystal has been placed in the structure, so players can then open a chest containing a topaz mineraland claim theLight of Blessing.
