The Thyphlo Ruins are a location in Breath of the Wild.[1]
Features and Overview[]
Located in the northern portion of the Great Hyrule Forest, the Thyphlo Ruins are surrounded by a murky lake and are shrouded in darkness, making navigation impossible without a light source. The Thyphlo Ruins can be entered from any side, which will trigger a short cutscene and place Link accordingly in the island. The entrance is located on the western side, connected to the Drenan Highlands by a bridge.
Upon entering, a voice speaks to Link and informs him of an Ancient Shrine deep within the Thyphlo Ruins.[2] However, he must navigate the darkness within in order to reach it. This begins the "Shrouded Shrine" Shrine Quest. Near the entrance is a Torch that can be used if Link does not carry one.
As Link makes his way through the darkness, he will find many Torch Stands that can be lit. These Torch Stands serve as hints to find the way to the Ancient Shrine.
Once Link reaches a Pedestal with a Stone Sphere Socket near a set of unlit Torch Stands, he will spot an Ancient Orb tethered to the necklace of a Blue Hinox. Link can defeat the Hinox in order to obtain the Orb. Alternatively, he can steal the Orb from the Hinox's necklace, avoiding the fight. Placing the Ancient Orb in the Stone Sphere Socket will reveal the Ketoh Wawai Shrine and complete the Shrine Quest.[3]
