Sheem Dagoze Shrine: Two Rings and Moving in Parallel (BotW)
Find Sheem Dagoze Shrine, complete The Two Rings, follow the Moving in Parallel switch sequence, and collect the Great Thunderblade chest.
Where is Sheem Dagoze Shrine?
Use Jeddo Bridge as your approach landmark. Head north to the rocks where Kass waits, south of Ridgeland Tower, and complete his The Two Rings challenge. The shrine appears northwest of the bridge. Its entry is also listed in the BotW shrine location table.

What should you bring?
Pack a bow and a few arrows before setting out — the shrine stays buried until a single arrow threads both stone rings, so arriving without a way to shoot means a wasted trip. The paraglider is the only other gear that matters, since the one chest sits a level below the switch platform. Inside, the trial is pure floor-switch timing: there are no enemies to fight, no elemental resistance is needed, and none of the Sheikah Slate runes come into play.

Solution: how do you reveal and complete the shrine?
Bring a bow, arrows and the paraglider. The interior route below does not require Magnesis, Stasis, Cryonis or bombs.
How do you complete The Two Rings?
1. Reveal the Shrine
Talk to Kass and listen to his song on the rocks north of Jeddo Bridge.
Move to the southwest side of the stone-ring field. Stand behind a ring and look north through it toward the other ring.
Shoot through both openings with the same arrow. Aim above the farther opening to account for the arrow dropping; a successful shot reveals the shrine.
How do you solve Moving in Parallel?
The switch directions below are from the control area facing the ball mechanism.
2. Solve the Switch Puzzle
Step onto the left switch, then step off almost immediately. Let the released ball reach the lower right socket.
Step onto the right switch for the next ball, using the timing reference below.
Move onto the left switch for the next short press.
Return to the right switch and stay on it until the ball reaches the lower left socket and the gate opens.
3. Get the Treasure Chest
Glide down between the sockets. Open the chest on the left for the Great Thunderblade.
Press the switch near the chest to activate the moving platform, then ride it back toward the entrance.
4. Complete the Shrine
Go through the open gate to the monk and collect the Spirit Orb.
| Timing reference | Action |
|---|---|
| Right switch, short press | About 1–2 seconds |
| Left switch, short press | About 1–2 seconds |
| Final right switch press | Stay until the ball reaches its socket |
Chests: what is inside and how do you return?
| Chest | Contents | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Great Thunderblade | After solving the switches, glide to the platform between the sockets and open the chest on the left. Activate the nearby switch and ride the moving platform back. |
What do people miss here?
- The floor switches are cross-wired: standing on the left one tilts its platforms to the right and sends the balls rolling right, while the right one tilts them to the left. The intuitive move — stepping on the plate on the side you want the ball to go — does the opposite, which is why first attempts often fail.
- Mistimed presses have a real consequence: if both orbs end up in the same concave slot, that slot tips forward, dumps the orbs out and resets the puzzle. Nothing is permanently broken — just run the press sequence again.
- A known quirk: sometimes an orb that is already seated correctly still gets tipped out when the second orb comes down on the same side, so don’t count on one orb being ‘safe’ mid-attempt.
- Nothing points you to the treasure. As soon as both sockets activate, the gate to Sheem Dagoze opens and you can claim the Spirit Orb and leave — the chest with the Great Thunderblade hides behind the bottom-left ramp, on the platform between the two lower ramps and below the level of the switches, and the game gives no hint it exists.
