Maka Rah Shrine (Steady Thy Heart)

Maka Rah is difficult to reach. You blow up piles of rocks around Lake Kilsie to free updrafts, glide to a cave and drop in. Inside, torches, switches, spike balls and Guardian Scouts test your timing, and Cryonis, Magnesis and Stasis all have a use.

TrialSteady Thy Heart
RegionHebra
LocationOn Lake Kilsie, hidden in the side of a cliff near a wooden pier
Map positionx -4059, z -2508, height 108 (map square A-2)
RewardSpirit Orb; chests: 10 Bomb Arrows, Diamond, Ancient Core

How to find it

The glowing shrine can be seen through a crack in a cliff beside the pier, but you cannot squeeze through. Face the crack; the pile of rocks behind you hides an updraft, so destroy it with a bomb. Glide to the far side of the lake and bomb another pile, then glide north-east along the shore to a third pile. Bomb a fourth pile on a small island, then glide north-west. A torch-lit opening in the cliff leads to a larger updraft from a hole. Drop into it, follow the cave, swim a small pool and fight the two monsters that jump you at the shrine door.

Solution

Light the torch and cross the roller

Light the unlit torch with any fire weapon, cross the rolling obstacle and stand on the switch. The door opens onto four Guardian Scouts.

Clear the room and climb

Defeat the Scouts, then raise Cryonis pillars to climb the ledges. The chest on the right holds 10 Bomb Arrows. Stand on the switch on the left to open the next door.

Dodge the spike ball

Press the next switch and stand to the far left or far right as a spiked roller smashes through the crates. Climb the ramp and turn back to look at the ledge of breakable blocks.

Collect the Diamond and Ancient Core

Blow up the breakable blocks with a Bomb Arrow to reveal a chest with a Diamond, then pull it to you with Magnesis. Keep Magnesis ready around the corner for the chest on the left ledge, which holds an Ancient Core.

Stop the last spike balls

Step on the last switch and back away from the first spike ball. A second follows right behind it. Freeze it with Stasis and crouch-walk along its side to pass safely.
