In this Zelda TotK temple, Link will once again find himself without equipment and will have to use everything he has at hand to succeed in the “unarmed combat – strategy” challenge. Here’s how you can take advantage of your environment in this ordeal.
To come across this sanctuary in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom you have to want it or be a little lucky. If you’re looking for it, we’ll tell you where to find it. And if you want tips on how to fight the horde of golems without your equipment, find the video walkthrough above or the written and illustrated version below.
Where to find the Ota Qalqa shrine?
Ota Qalqa is one of the extremely well-hidden shrines in the game. You won’t see it by gliding from the sky since it’s inside a cave, which is also well-hidden. Head to the Hebra region and go to the top left corner of the map. Equip yourself with cold weather gear.
At the edge of the mountain, below, you will see a cave whose access is closed by ice peaks. You can use an arrow with a fire flower on the end to melt the ice or the Soneau Flamethrower artifact amalgamated with a weapon.
Once inside, continue until you come across a ice circle on the ground. Jump on it several times so that it breaks and you fall in the middle of some bokoblins. Once you have eliminated them, look on the walls of the cave to spot a piece of ice that hides yet another entrance. Fire arrow again and you will see the sanctuary!
How to complete it?
- All means are good but obviously don’t forget to take the bow, arrows and club at the entrance,
- Now, analyze the room carefully: all the golems are generally not far from a pile of leaves which can be set alight either with the candles located in the four corners of the room, or by shooting an arrow at the fire chandeliers,
- You can eliminate the golem on the left quite easily by setting it on fire in order to recover a horn (to amalgamate on your club for example),
- Then go kill the two golems on the right: you can amalgamate a rock on your club to cause more damage,
- Take the new resources available each time to strengthen your weapons,
- The most dangerous enemies will probably be the golem with the spear at the top left, and the one with the spike board right,
- If you’re feeling confident, you can lure them to the center of the room and hit the pillar with your rock mallet so that the ceiling collapses on them.
