In this guide, we will tell you how to solve the Orochium (Orochimaru, as named by the fans) Shrine in ToTK.

Steps to Complete Orochium Shrine in Zelda Tears of The Kingdom (ToTK)

The Orochium Shrine is located at coordinates in the Tabantha Tundra region (-1636, 2642, 0239). This shrine is confusing because as soon as you open the doors, you are faced with lasers that drop you down a trapdoor. If you’re stuck at the lasers in the Courage to Fall Shrine, then here’s how to solve it:

  1. Go around the left, beat the Soldier Construct II, and use the Ascend ability to climb up.
