Ruvo Korbah Shrine (A Major Test of Strength+)

A combat shrine from the Champions’ Ballad, tougher than the original. Beat a Guardian, then a gauntlet of small Guardians and a final ambush of four Guardian Scouts before the monk gives a Spirit Orb.

TrialA Major Test of Strength+
RegionGreat Plateau
LocationSouth of the Temple of Time in the fields near the Old Man‘s hut
Map positionx -834, z 2145, height 199 (map square E-7)
RewardSpirit Orb; chests: 10 Bomb Arrows, Giant Ancient Core

How to find it

An enemy camp stands in the plains south of the Temple of Time, and the shrine appears when it is cleared. The temple’s bluffs let you observe the camp without being spotted by archers. Expect Bokoblins on stal-horses, Lizalfos and a Moblin. Snipe archers first, then fight carefully.

Solution

Defeat the Guardian

Raise your shield and strafe to avoid its shots, then dash in when it pulls back its spear or axe. Take the 10 Bomb Arrows from the chest.

Descend the new path

There is no monk. Step on the plate where he should be to lower the pit and open the way down. Head left past the locked door and out-of-reach chest to fight a small Guardian.

Catwalk and chest

Block its blast, retaliate, then climb to the catwalk to beat more small Guardians. Go under the catwalk past the high ledge for the Giant Ancient Core chest.

Key and door

Wait for the Guardian to fire, turn away, climb the stairs and defeat it for the key in the nearby chest.

Final ambush

Four Guardian Scouts drop in. Use arrows or a Cryonis platform for cover, defeat the lower scout, then the top one, then the last. The gate opens and the monk gives the Spirit Orb.
