Lakna Rokee Shrine: The Stolen Heirloom Walkthrough (BotW)
Unlock Lakna Rokee Shrine with the Kakariko quest prerequisites, follow Dorian without being spotted, recover the orb, and collect the Edge of Duality.
Where is Lakna Rokee Shrine?
Look in the forest east of Kakariko Village, near the Great Fairy Fountain. From the village, take the uphill path toward the fountain and continue to the bridge and orb pedestal. The pedestal is your destination, but the shrine stays hidden until you recover the stolen orb through the village quest.
Use the BotW shrine locations checklist to track the shrine after unlocking it.

What should you bring?
Inside, this is a pure blessing trial with no puzzle or combat, so you need no runes and no resistances — Magnesis, Stasis, Cryonis, and Remote Bombs all go unused on the straight walk to the chest and the monk. Everything worth bringing is for before the door opens: a one-handed weapon and a shield for the Yiga Blademaster fight outside. Note that the Edge of Duality in the chest can only be claimed after that fight, so it cannot serve as your battle gear; stealth clothing or food remains optional.

Solution: How do you complete The Stolen Heirloom?
The main obstacle is unlocking the quest. Finish the prerequisites before waiting outside Impa’s house; watching Dorian alone does not replace them.
| Preparation | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Camera and the requested Great Fairy offering | Photograph the opened fountain for Pikango |
| Cuccos restored to 10 in the enclosure | Complete Flown the Coop; this is the total flock, not the number missing |
| 5 Sunset Fireflies | Release them inside Lasli’s house for By Firefly’s Light |
| Weapon and shield | Fight the Yiga Blademaster; a one-handed weapon lets you use the shield |
| Stealth clothing or food, optional | Help with following Dorian quietly |
| Magnesis, Stasis, Cryonis or Remote Bombs | No rune puzzle requires these for this shrine’s opening route or interior |
1. Complete Village Side Quests
Finish Find the Fairy Fountain. Help Pikango locate the fountain, make the requested offering, photograph the opened fountain, and show him the picture.
Finish Flown the Coop. Return Cado’s escaped Cuccos until the enclosure holds the total listed above, then report back to him.
Finish By Firefly’s Light. Visit Lasli at home at night, speak to her, then hold and release the required Sunset Fireflies from your materials inventory inside her room.
2. Start The Stolen Heirloom
Talk to Paya at Impa’s house. With the prerequisites complete, her report of the missing orb starts The Stolen Heirloom.
3. Tail Dorian at Night
Wait for Dorian to leave his post. Rest at the fire outside until night, then watch the guard rather than following unrelated villagers. His departure time is listed below.
Follow without being seen. Keep back as he walks uphill toward the Great Fairy; hide behind the rock beside the bridge while he crosses.
Wait for his call, then approach. Beyond the bridge, let him reach the pedestal area and call for the person he is meeting before you move closer. This triggers the confrontation.
4. Defeat the Yiga Blademaster
Defeat the Yiga Blademaster. Guard or dodge his sword attack, then counterattack during the opening. Bring a shield and a weapon you can handle comfortably; the fight happens outside the shrine.
5. Return the Orb to Reveal the Shrine
Place the recovered orb in the pedestal. After Dorian explains what happened, take the orb and set it into the ancient pedestal to reveal the entrance.
6. Receive the Blessing
Open the chest and approach the monk. Inside, collect the Edge of Duality, then receive the Spirit Orb. There is no further puzzle.
| Timing | How to use it |
|---|---|
| 22:00 / 10 PM | Dorian leaves his guard post; begin following him |
Chests: What is inside and how do you get it?
| Chest | Contents | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Edge of Duality | Enter after placing the quest orb, then open the chest on the route to the monk; no switch or rune is needed |
What do people miss here?
- Before ‘The Stolen Heirloom’ properly begins, Impa does not let you touch the Sheikah Heirloom, so there is no shortcut — you cannot carry the orb to the pedestal early, and it only becomes available once Paya reports the theft.
- After the theft is reported, the story has Link spend the day by Paya’s side before the nighttime events unfold. If nothing seems to happen after the conversation, pass time until nightfall rather than redoing the prerequisite quests.
- Paya explicitly warns you not to approach anyone suspicious at night — do not let that warning stop you from tailing Dorian; shadowing him at a distance is exactly what the quest expects.
- Nothing here is permanently missable: once the heirloom is placed, the shrine rises from beneath the ground and stays, so you can re-enter at any time, and the single chest (the Edge of Duality, an ancient Sheikah weapon) can still be collected on a return visit if you leave without it.
