Eshos Shrine location and walkthrough in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Eshos Shrine is located within The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s West Necluda region.

Our guide will help you find the Eshos Shrine location and walk you through its Combat Training: Shields challenge so you can collect the chest and Light of Blessing. This shrine is another combat trial, centered around using your shield.

When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.

Eshos Shrine walkthrough

The Eshos Shrine is all about using Link’s shield, part of Tears of the Kingdom’s “Combat Training” trials. If you don’t have any shields for whatever reason, don’t panic — the shrine’s got some for you.

1. Head down the steps and into the main chamber. Get close enough to the Construct in the middle of the room and it’ll evolve and prepare for an attack.

2. The screen will prompt you to deflect projectiles from the Construct, noting that other attacks won’t work. It’ll send a projectile, and you’ll deflect it.

3. After your first deflect, a second Construct will appear, and you’ll have to deflect projectiles from both. The trick is that they’re both different elemental projectiles, so you’ll use different shields for each. We used a spiked Boko shield for the yellow projectile and a zonaite shield for the red projectile. The shrine provides a rusty shield and a wooden shield, which follow the same properties — i.e., use the wooden shield for the yellow projectile (red is fire!), and the metal for the red projectile.

4. Pick up the Zonai charges and other items from the defeated Constructs, then head into the next room to collect from the chest, which awards a mighty zonaite shield. Dang!

5. Examine the sigil further in to complete the shrine and collect the Light of Blessing.
