RequirementThe ancient orb, carried to the middle of Rist Peninsula
RewardAccess to Ritaag Zumo Shrine; Spirit Orb from the shrine

A tablet near Malin Bay says only a hero carrying the ancient orb may take the trial on Rist Peninsula. Carry the orb along the spiral of the peninsula and set it on the pedestal at the centre, and the shrine rises from the ground.

Starting the quest

Read the tablet

In the ruins on the eastern shore of Malin Bay, examine the stone tablet beside the ancient orb. It tells you the orb is the key to the trial on Rist Peninsula. If you place the orb without reading the tablet first, examining it afterwards completes the quest.

Moving the orb

Walk the spiral

You can lift the orb and walk the spiral to its centre, but Bokoblins, Moblins, Lizalfos, Octoroks and Chuchus line the way, and you must set the orb down every time you need to fight.

Skip the enemies

Easier options bypass most of them. Use Stasis on the orb and strike it so it flies across the gaps between spiral segments, take the raft from Malin Bay through the channels of the peninsula, or push the orb through the water with spin attacks while wearing the Zora Helm.

Place the orb

Set the orb on the pedestal at the centre. The Ritaag Zumo Shrine rises and the quest ends.

Chests and rewards

  • Ritaag Zumo Shrine: one chest holding a Giant Ancient Core, and a Spirit Orb from the monk.
