Some of the shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are not sitting out in the openness of Hyrule and must be discovered. The Rutafu-um Shrine can be found at the bottom of a cave in the snow but still needs to be activated. This guide will show players where the shrine is located, how to find it, and how to unlock it.
Rutafu-um Shrine Location In Tears of the Kingdom
The Rutafu-um Shrine (Rauru’s Blessing) in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is located in the Hebra Mountain region with the exact coordinates of (-2988, 3182, 0570). It is in the northwestern section of the map, and players can launch from the Pikida Stonegrove Skyview Tower east of where the shrine is.
The shrine itself is inside the Hebra Mountain Northwest Cave, so players will have to start at a cabin called Selmie’s Spot at coordinates of (-2958, 3136, 0571). Standing outside the front of the cabin, players will see a small sloped mountain where the cave entrance will be. Players can jump through the hole in the ground, and use the paraglider to glide down safely.
Rutafu-um Shrine Walkthrough In Tears of the Kingdom
The Rutafu-um Shrine is a Rauru’s Blessing shrine that does not feature any puzzles inside of it, but will require a large green crystal to unlock and open the shrine. The Hebra Mountain Northwest Cave contains one room with a giant pool of water in the middle, a small group of four Bokoblins, and the shrine at the other end of the cave.
The green crystal is at the bottom of the pool of water and is too far away from Link to use Ultrahand on it. The water is also freezing, which will damage Link the longer he either stands or swims in it. There are a few methods to get the crystal from the pond.
Players can attach several long icicles and rocks nearby, then use Ultrahand to push the giant makeshift stick into the water and attach it to the crystal to pull it out. Another way is to melt the nearby ice blocks with fire to discover a chest containing three Zonai wings, then use them as platforms.
Or players can use any 
Ice Fruits in their inventory to throw into the water and make ice platforms. Any of these methods can work to fish out the crystal and use Ultrahand to carry it to the shrine structure on the other side.
The Rutafu-um Shrine will be completed once the crystal has been placed in the structure, so players can then open a chest containing a topaz mineral and claim the Light of Blessing.
