The Sahirow Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be found in the Hebra Mountains in the northwest section of Hyrule. It is north of Rito Village/ Tabantha Frontier and west of Tabantha Tundra. Its coordinates are roughly -3356, 2385, 0360.

Players making their way to this part of Hyrule will need some cold-resistant clothing or meals that protect against the freezing weather. Rito Village has the Snowquill Armor Set for sale, but it will cost players 2150 Rupees. Using a portable cooking pot can also come in handy if players have some Spicy Pepper to throw in.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Sahirow Shrine Solution

Upon entering the Sahirow Shrine (Aid from Above), players will have to jump over a single red laser beam. Pass it to find yet another section with even more laser beams. Touching these will not harm Link, but they will open the floor beneath Link, causing him to fall to his doom. Jump over the first laser in this section and then press the left stick to crouch underneath the second one. Carefully pass through the others and then use the tiny steps on the right side of the hallway to gain some height to use Link's paraglider.

To get to the next area, use Link's Ascend skill to pass through the moving platform that's going left and right. Crouch underneath the laser to the right and then pick up one of the cubes with the Ultrahand ability. Carefully place the block in the laser's path to open the locked gate in the same room. Just be sure to put the block down in the correct spot so it doesn't fall into the chasm. Open the chest behind the newly opened gate to find a Spicy Elixir.

The Spicy Elixir gives Link about eight minutes of Cold Resistance.

Continue on the main path of the shrine, jumping over the red laser beam that moves towards Link. To end the shrine, a wall of lasers will approach players. The best way to deal with this is to just use Ascend once the structure comes close to Link.

Once players make it to the top of the laser beam block, they can use their paraglider to glide safely toward the end of the Sahirow Shrine, giving Link another Light of Blessing to increase his health or stamina.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
