The Isolated Plateau

Follow the old man a short distance; he will point you towards a glowing building across a lake. This is your first shrine.

To reach the first shrine (Oman Au Shrine), you can either clear the enemy camp to the right of the lake (containing four Bokoblins and a Treasure Chest with a Traveller's Sword), then swim across, or circle around to the left, or swim directly across the middle.

Upon reaching the far side, approach the shrine and interact with the pedestal by the door to add it as a fast travel point on your map and gain access.

Inside the Oman Au Shrine (Magnesis Trial), head to the far left corner and place your Shieka Slate (a device used in the game) on the pedestal to unlock the Magnesis Rune.

The Magnesis Rune allows you to identify and manipulate metal objects, which appear highlighted in purple when active and turn yellow when targeted. These can be used to remove obstacles, open doors, create bridges, or platforms.

Magnesis can be used in combat by dropping metal objects on enemies, pushing them off ledges, or creating moving cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) against projectiles and lasers.

In the environment, use Magnesis to create bridges or pull buried metal treasure chests from the ground.

Use the Magnesis room to pick up a large metal slab on the floor to reveal a passage below, then drop down.

In the next room, use Magnesis on a single metal block in a wall of blocks to pull it out, or use another metal block behind stairs to push over the other stone blocks. Climb over the wall.

In the next area, kill the Guardian Scout. Use the metal bridge to reach the central platform, then use Magnesis to pick up the bridge and place it on the other end to reach the far side.

Use Magnesis to open the large door. Approach and interact with the glowing altar at the top of the stairs for a scene. This rewards you with a Spirit Orb and completes the Shrine.

After the scene, you will be back outside. The Old Man will explain Spirit Orbs and fast travel using the Shieka Slate.

Use fast travel to the Great Plateau Tower and speak with the Old Man again. He will give you a tutorial on the Shieka Spyglass and placing pins on the map (a marker on your minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen), which is a small map displayed on your HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap), or Heads-Up Display).

Place pins on the three visible Shrines from the Tower: one south amongst ruins, one southwest on a ridge, and one west on a hill.

Drop down the tower to ground level and head south towards the closest Shrine in the ruins. Be aware of sleeping Guardians, Keese (flying bat-like creatures), and Bokoblin Skeletons. If you get too close, Guardians will wake up and shoot laser beams, which are an instant kill at this stage.

Use ruined walls as cover to avoid incoming attacks and climb over walls to reach your destination.

The easiest way to reach the Shrine is to run along the cliff edge of the Great Plateau, kill the Bokoblin Skeletons, and then climb over the back wall when you reach the Shrine's location.

Approach the shrine and interact with the pedestal by the door to add it as a fast travel point and gain access.

Inside the Ja Baij Shrine (Remote Bomb Trial), head to the far left corner of the first room and place your Shieka Slate on the pedestal to unlock the Remote Bomb Rune.

The Remote Bomb Rune allows you to create an infinite number of remote bombs (with a brief cooldown), which can be detonated with a specific button command. It is advisable to move out of the explosion range before detonating.

There are two types of remote bombs: spherical (which roll) and cubic (which stay put and fit specific sockets), useful for puzzles.

Remote bombs can be used in combat to damage enemies, unlock blocked entrances, and destroy weak walls (often indicated by cracks).
