◈ Select a shrine to explore its location.

The shrine hides under a rocky canopy in the northwestern part of the Pikida Stonegrove, in the Hebra Mountains. Coming from Snowfield Stables, push northwest across the snow until the glowing entrance appears tucked beneath the overhang. For orientation, Goma Asaagh Shrine sits to the southwest and Shada Naw Shrine to the west, with Sha Gehma Shrine off to the northeast. Because the entrance is under a canopy of rock, it is easy to walk past — sweep along the base of the rocks if you don’t see it right away.

What should you bring?

You need the Magnesis and Remote Bomb runes — Magnesis fetches both the ledge chest and the metal block, and a Remote Bomb is the only way to clear the barrels at the end. Bring a weapon sturdy enough for two Guardian Scout IIs, each wielding a Guardian Spear. No fire gear is required: the torches in the first room can be knocked into the vines to burn them, though any fire weapon works too. The trial itself asks for no special armor or resistances, but you are crossing snowy Hebra terrain to get there, so dress warmly for the trip.

How do you solve Rok Uwog Shrine?

Everything in this shrine is solved from a distance: Magnesis moves objects you can’t walk up to, and one well-placed Remote Bomb does the heavy lifting at the end.

1. Pull Down the Metal Chest

Walk in and size up the main chamber: a locked door on the right leads to the monk, ivy covers the walls on the left beside a barred window, and lit torches stand around the room.

Look up along the right wall — a metallic chest sits on a high ledge. Use Magnesis to grab it and pull it down to the floor, then open it for a Drillshaft with Durability Up.

2. Burn the Ivy to Open a Passage

Turn to the ivy on the left wall: burn it with any fire weapon, or simply knock over one of the nearby torches so the flames catch the vines. The burning ivy opens a small hole in the wall.

Climb through the gap — you’ll pass two wooden boxes sitting in it — into the second chamber.

3. Defeat the Guardian Scouts and Lower the Platform

A Guardian Scout II wielding a Guardian Spear attacks right away; take it out before touching anything else.

Look at the raised platform: it is being held up by a metal block (with a wooden box alongside). Use Magnesis to pull the metal cube out from under the platform.

With the support gone, the platform falls into a ramp you can walk up — climb it into the corridor beyond.

A second Guardian Scout II with a Guardian Spear guards the corridor; deal with it.

4. Clear the Barrels to Open the Portcullis

At the end of the corridor is a barred window. Through it you can see the final chamber: barrels stacked on a floor switch, a treasure chest, and a closed portcullis.

Throw a Remote Bomb toward the barrels and detonate it only once it has landed beside them — the explosion destroys the barrels and takes their weight off the switch.

With the barrels gone, the portcullis rises; head into the chamber.

Open the treasure chest to claim the Small Key.

5. Unlock the Monk’s Door

Climb the ladder in this chamber — it leads back up into the starting room.

Use the Small Key to unlock the door on the right, then speak with Monk Rok Uwog to receive your Spirit Orb.

What is in each chest?

Chest	Contents	How to get it
1	Drillshaft (Durability Up)	A metallic chest sits on a high ledge on the right wall of the very first chamber. Grab it with Magnesis and pull it down to open it — do this before you leave the room, or loop back via the ladder later.
2	Small Key	Inside the chest in the final chamber behind the portcullis. Clear the barrels off the floor switch with a Remote Bomb to raise the gate, then walk in and open it.

What do people miss here?

The Drillshaft chest is the classic miss — it’s up on a ledge on the right of the first room and nothing in the room points to it. Magnesis it down before moving on, or grab it when the ladder returns you here at the end.
You don’t need fire arrows or your own torch for the vines: knocking one of the room’s torches into the ivy sets it alight just fine.
At the barred window, the Remote Bomb must go off right next to the barrels. Detonate too early and the barrels survive and the portcullis stays shut — just throw another bomb.
Both Guardian Scout IIs carry Guardian Spears, so fiddling with the metal block while one is still alive invites damage. Clear each room of enemies before you start puzzling.
Nothing here is permanently missable: the shrine stays on your map once found, so you can re-enter any time to pick up a chest you skipped.

FAQ

How do I open the gate at the end of Rok Uwog Shrine?

Look through the barred window at the end of the corridor: barrels are stacked on a floor switch, and removing them raises the portcullis. Throw a Remote Bomb in and detonate it beside the barrels — the explosion clears the switch and the gate opens so you can reach the Small Key chest.

How do I burn the vines in Rok Uwog Shrine without fire arrows?

Any fire weapon will do it, but you don't need one. Knock over one of the torches in the first room so it lands in the ivy on the left wall; the burning vines open a hole next to the barred window that you climb through.

Where are all the chests in Rok Uwog Shrine?

There are two. One is a metallic chest on a high ledge on the right of the first room — pull it down with Magnesis for a Drillshaft with Durability Up. The other holds the Small Key and sits in the chamber behind the portcullis, unlocked by bombing the barrels off the floor switch.

What is the metal block for in the second chamber?

It is propping up a raised platform. Grab the metal cube with Magnesis and pull it out; once the support is gone, the platform drops into a ramp you can walk up to reach the corridor.

Can I go back for the Drillshaft chest after finishing the shrine?

Yes. The ladder in the final chamber drops you back into the starting room near that ledge anyway, and the shrine stays on your map afterward, so you can re-enter whenever to grab the chest with Magnesis.
