Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To access the Thunderhead Isles, complete the 'Regional Phenomena' main quest, which involves resolving issues in the four major regions.

    Afterward, report to Lookout Landing and head to Lurelin Village, then the Faron region. Completing investigations here will dissipate the cloud over the Thunderhead Isles.
  3. 3
    The best way to reach the Thunderhead Isles is by launching from the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower and gliding south.
  4. 4
    Use your Ascend ability to navigate through the islands.
  5. 5
    When encountering mine cart tracks, create a replacement wooden cart and use a fan to propel yourself across, avoiding lightning.
  6. 6
    At the second set of mine cart tracks, use Ascend mid-way to reach the shrine.
  7. 7
    Inside the Joku-usin Shrine, you'll face the 'Proving Grounds: Short Circuit' challenge with limited gear. Pick up available weapons.

    Defeat the first patrolling archer Construct. Fuse its horn to your weapon for increased damage and use its bow.
  9. 9
    Defeat the second patrolling Construct with your physical weapon, saving the bow for later.
  10. 10
    Gather Shock Fruit from nearby shrubs.
  11. 11
    Fuse Shock Fruit with arrows and shoot the metal platforms where elevated Constructs are located to electrocute them.
  12. 12
    Head to the left platform, climb the ladder, and glide to another ladder to find a Shock Emitter.
  13. 13
    Fuse the Shock Emitter with a weapon.
  14. 14
    Crouch and wait for enemy aggro to reset.
  15. 15
    Strike the Construct near a metal platform with the Shock Emitter-fused weapon to trigger a chain reaction, electrocuting the remaining Constructs. Be cautious of your own electrical currents.
  16. 16
    Once all Constructs are defeated, the shrine challenge is complete.
