Tena Ko’sah Shrine (A Major Test of Strength)

Tena Ko’sah is a combat shrine. A Guardian Scout IV with 3,000 health attacks with an axe and sword behind a shield. Use pillars to stun its charge, shock it with arrows and finish it for ancient parts and a Spirit Orb.

How to find it

The shrine sits among the Ancient Columns in the Rayne Highlands of Tabantha. It is high up and can be spotted from Piper Ridge and the Tabantha Great Bridge; climb or glide up to the ledge.

Solution

Sidestep the sword and axe

Dodge to the side as it brings the sword down, or backflip from the sideways axe swipe, to trigger a flurry rush and strike it freely.

Make it hit a pillar

When it powers up to charge, stand behind a pillar. It smashes into it and is stunned, leaving it open to your weapons or arrows.

Handle the laser attacks

Damaged, it turns into a spinning laser. Use the updraft to float over and attack, or shoot it from range. Its charged beam fires four shots; circle around it until they are spent.

Take the spoils

Bomb and Shock Arrows are cheaper than Ancient Arrows. Grab the dropped ancient parts and weapons, then the Spirit Orb.
