The Noya Neha is arguably the least visited shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – only being valuable for useless DLC equipment, here’s how to complete it!
Location
The Noya Neha Shrine is located on the island west of Hyrule Castle and far north of Central Tower.
The Shrine is in a mountain at the south of the Island. To get in, burn the thorns with any flame source and use a remote bomb or bomb arrow to blow up the entrance boulders.
Walkthrough of Noya Neha Shrine
When you enter the Shrine, you’ll see the main chamber ahead of you where you’ll fight a Guardian Scout, prepare your strongest weapon, shield, bow and armour and prepare Stasis+ if you have it.
Walk over to the hole in the center of the room and the guardian will rise up from its depths. Guardian Scouts in Minor Tests of Strength are the weakest besides their counterparts without weaponry, but they can still do some damage if not fought correctly.
Try to keep your shield up and use one-handed weapons so you always have defence from its lasers. To start, it will use slow attacks which are easily blocked or dodged. When the guardian stops attacking, hit his shield repeatedly – if he has one – to knock it out of the way and then hit it as many times as possible. It’s only a weak fella so it shouldn’t take many hits to get it down to half health. Using Stasis+ has the obvious effect of freezing him in time, but also, any attacks you use while Stasis is active will deal double damage!
When it reaches half-health it will begin to avoid combat, jumping back away from you and shooting more lasers. If you get close it will attack you as usual and begin to spin around to create a huge updraft within the Shrine. Use your paraglider to glide above it and press Y when you’re right above it to perform an air-strike-critical-hit.
When dealt enough damage, it will turn blue and charge using energy in the air. Once it finished charging, it will fire multiple short but powerful blasts which will deal TONS of damage! Run from side to side to avoid these blasts and when it’s charging, use Stasis+ and hit it until it’s gone!
Finally, collect the Guardian’s weapons and everything it dropped, then walk through to the next room and open the chest to find a Knight’s Shield! Walk up to the pedestal and acquire the Spirit Orb from the Shrine’s Monk!
