How to Complete Musanokir Shrine

Learn how to solve the Musanokir Shrine's physics puzzles in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Get the treasure chest and the Light of Blessing with this walkthrough.

Alright, let's get this Musanokir Shrine sorted! It's all about using those cool physics mechanics in Tears of the Kingdom. First off, though, you gotta find it. It's right next to the Deku Tree in Korok Forest.

Here's the trick to getting into Korok Forest: Forget the old Breath of the Wild method with the braziers. If you try to walk into the Lost Woods fog, you'll just get sent back. The real way in is through the Depths! Start at Woodland Stable and head north. Look for the Minshi Woods Chasm and drop down. Once you're in the Depths, make your way northwest towards an area called Korok Grove. You might run into some Gloom Hands, just deal with them how you see fit. Near the Rikonasum Lightroot, you'll spot a huge pillar. Use your Ascend ability right underneath it to pop up into Korok Forest!

Walkthrough: Musanokir Shrine - Swing to Hit

As soon as you enter the shrine, you'll see a bridge over a chasm with a chain and ball. On the other side is a metal cube. You need to use your Ultrahand ability to lift the bridge with enough force that the ball and chain swings up and connects with that metal cube. Get them attached, and the bridge will stay horizontal so you can cross.

Once you're on the other side, detach the cube from the bridge. Now, attach that cube to the ball and chain on the right side of the room. Pull the cube back as far as you can to get a good swing going. You want that swing to hit a target at the back of the room. This will open the door to the next area.

Getting the Treasure Chest: Before you move on, let's snag that chest. It's pretty straightforward. Grab the nearby log and lean it against the metal cube that's on the platform opposite the chest. Climb up the log, and then paraglide from the metal cube over to the chest. Inside, you'll find a x1 Large Zonai Charge.

Now, paraglide back to the main platform. The next puzzle looks a bit more complicated, but it's the same principle. You need to attach the cube to the ball and chain hanging down. Then, attach the log to the front of the sliding cube that's at the top of the rail. Once those are connected, swing the bottom cube. The force from the swing will push the sliding cube down its rail, and the log will hit the target at the back, opening the final gate.

And that's it! You'll get your Light of Blessing and can now use this shrine as a fast travel point to Korok Forest, saving you a trip through the Depths next time.
