Shora Hah Shrine (Blue Flame) - Zelda: BotW Shrine Guide

Shora Hah is the longest of this group. You carry blue flame from torch to torch on arrows, weapons or a torch, using Magnesis and Stasis to align platforms and get around the water jets that would put it out.

Map position	x 1536, z -3117, height 520 (map square G-1)
Runes used	Magnesis, Stasis
Reward	Spirit Orb; chests: Royal Bow, Great Flameblade, Giant Ancient Core, Silver Rupee, Forest Dweller’s Sword, Ice Arrows

How to find it

Ride the mine cart track across the lava lake north of Goron City. If the cart is derailed, lift it back with Magnesis; place a bomb in its metal cage and detonate it to start. The track ends at the island.

Solution

Pass the spike trap and take the bow

Lift the spike trap ahead with Magnesis and hold it up as you walk under it. At the torch go left and use Magnesis to line up the sliding platforms, then cross to a chest with a Royal Bow.

Carry the flame down

Align the platforms again to reach the stair with the blue torch. Set the platforms into a path back first, light an arrow or wooden weapon, and light the torch at the crossroads below to unlock the door.

Light the lift

The wall nozzles put out a held flame, so shoot a lit arrow at the distant torch instead. This starts the elevator. Light its torch when the platform is at the top or bottom and not behind the grate to finish the staircase.

Fight the scouts

Step on the pressure plate, then get away from the spiked ball, or freeze it with Stasis. Beat the four Guardian Scouts at the top; two chests hold a Giant Ancient Core and a Great Flameblade.

Light the torch rooms

Light the center torch of the next room first, then Stasis one side torch and light it, then the last while the freeze holds. In the following room, shoot the moving torches so both platforms stop and raise updrafts, then glide across. A Silver Rupee chest and the Forest Dweller’s Sword chest sit on the pillars here.

Spin attack finale

Burn the leaves under the three Guardian Scouts on the ramp, then take the Ice Arrows chest. Fetch blue flame on the Forest Dweller’s Sword, light the lone torch and spin attack to ignite all six protected torches at once. Talk to Shora Hah for the Spirit Orb.
