How to find it
From Akkala Tower, look east of Tarrey Town and Lake Akkala. The shrine sits on the high ground there.
Solution
Win the opening phase
It alternates between melee and a spin attack. Flurry rushes work well, and so does parrying. When it prepares to spin, stand behind a pillar and wait for it to crash, or freeze it with Stasis+.
Rise on the laser’s updraft
At half health it drops to the ground and spins a laser. Use the updraft with the paraglider and stay in the air until the laser stops.
Beat the last charge
At very low health it charges a laser like the overworld Guardians. Either attack it while it charges if you are strong enough, or raise a shield and parry the shot at the beep.
Collect the rewards
Open the chest for the Giant Ancient Core, then claim your Spirit Orb from the monk.
Chests and rewards
- Giant Ancient Core: in the chest near the end of the shrine.
- Spirit Orb: from the monk.
