Orochium Shrine (Courage to Fall)

Orochium Shrine is a trial of lasers, a ball and a Zonai wing. Run into the first laser on purpose to drop to the lower floor, take the Small Key, carry the ball up to its hole, then fly it back on the wing to a second hole to open the exit. Bring Cold Resistance, as the shrine is in a freezing area.

How to find Orochium Shrine

From Snowfield Stable head north across the snowfield; the shrine’s green glow stands out against the snow. Step onto the blue platform in its doorway to go in.

Orochium Shrine solution

Climb to the upper walkway

Take the ramp and turn left to a single Soldier Construct; knock it off the ledge or fight it. Then stand under the nearby platform and use Ascend to pop up on top, and climb the ladder at its end to the upper level, where more guards wait below.

Open the Arrow chest

Defeat the second Construct in the small room beyond the corner, then open the chest beside it for Arrow x5.

Run through the laser corridor

Back at the stairs, use Ultrahand to open the doors in front of the laser corridor. Walk straight into the first laser on purpose: the floor drops away and you land on the level below. Walk the passage without touching the remaining beams (crouch or run under the low ones), then use Ascend through the platform at the far end to come up to a chest.

Take the Small Key and unlock the cell

Open the chest at the top of that Ascend for the Small Key. Ascend again at the back of the room to return to the upper area, go back to the barred green door, deal with the two Constructs there (shoot or bomb the right-hand one first), and use the key on the door to reveal the ball.

Carry the ball up to the hole

Pick the ball up with Ultrahand, leave the cell, go up the stairs and turn right. Ride the lift with the ball held overhead, climb the last stairs and drop the ball into the hole. This opens a door that holds a fan-powered wing.

Fly the ball back on the wing

Pull the wing out and set it on the track facing the ledge. Attach the ball to the middle of the wing with Ultrahand, then hit the fans with a melee weapon to start them. The wing carries the ball back toward the entrance. Glide down after it, pick the ball up again and set it in the nearby hole to open the final door.
