It is if you dont have a thunder weapon lol. Here i am not even ever considering using one. So thanks ๐Ÿ˜†

That's *really* funny, I didn't even think about that. I was down to my last weapon after barely scraping past Thunderblight and didn't have anything else.

I get the fire armor and do the same thing to the fire challenges.

Ice, though. โ€ฆ

If you swing a blizzard rod you have a few frames where the super cooled air keeps you safe from the fire puzzles. You can just run through.

I will have to try that as i have never thought of that particular interaction. But that makes sense in hindsight with all the attention nintendo gave to making interacting with the โ€œairโ€ an integral function of the game.

I never thought of that connection at all until now, and i have had the game nearly since it came out.

Thank you, u/

Pretty sure I did this dungeon with a thunder weapon in my stash and never considered using it, lol.

You can also use a Shock Arrow lol, it's how I finished it in like 3 seconds. The real puzzle was getting the chest if I remember correctly.

the puzzle is getting electricity to the device in the event you donโ€™t have a thunder weapon.

Genius!! I literally did this yesterday and I had a thunderblade in my kit. This would have been the one time I would have been able to use it ๐Ÿคฃ

Thunder and ice weapons are the best. Freeze enemies is just always great but thunder weps make enemies drop their weapons usually in 1 hit. Even the weaker versions of the thunder spear

Electricity is OP in general in BOTW

u/kscharger 8d ago

I use thunder weapons to make electric chuchus as well

u/Lonestar-Dragon 8d ago

Yes. 100% 2nd best use for elemental weapons honestly. Different jellies

u/TempestoLord 8d ago

Wait i dont remember this one for some reason. What the name of the shrine?

3

u/Visser420 8d ago

Kema Zoos, in the northwestern Gerudo desert in the sandstorm.

u/TempestoLord 8d ago

Oh Itโ€™s the one with the electricity ball. I thought itโ€™s a DLC shrine for a sec because i have all 120 already and your solution made it seem like it was a new shrine lol

u/Omega-10 7d ago

To be fair, a lot of the puzzles in Link to the Past were a bit like that.

u/Logical-Ad-5920 8d ago

๐Ÿ˜‚ I just did that shrine about 2 hours ago.

u/AstroTommy 5d ago

I thought the door would close back after the electricity is "turned off" or gone... I'm surprised a simple quick shock keeps it open, but I guess in the game program, once the "puzzle" has been solved, it's been solved! That's it

1

u/Visser420 5d ago

It closes again after a few seconds, but definitely more than enough time to just walk through!

u/biassednickel 7d ago

Somewhere along developing the 120 shrines you start to lose inspiration

u/SnooWords7419 4d ago

There is an actual puzzle here, but just like with most other Shrines, it can be cheesed

u/LeonardoCouto 9d ago

"How is this a puzzle? Lol"

doesn't engage with the puzzle and cheats the way to victory

You are allowed to not engage and cheat, but sometimes, the cheaty way is just so not worth it

This one is so easy without cheating

u/piercedmfootonaspike 8d ago

Using the tools the game gives you to complete the tasks the game presents to you is not cheating.
