Step-by-step solution
There is no puzzle inside Minetak Shrine. The challenge is keeping your bearings through Deplian Badlands Cave.
1. Reach the Cave Entrance
Reach the cave. Travel north from Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower to the entrance (Show on map). An enemy camp stands outside; pass it or clear it.
Light the descent. Enter the cave and follow the dark path downward, using Brightbloom Seeds or the Miner Set to see the route.
2. Navigate by Skull Torch Landmarks
Turn left at two skull torches. Continue forward until the paired markers, then take the left passage.
Turn right at the next skull torch. Defeat the Horriblins, Blue Horriblins, and Silver Horriblins in the next area.
Pass the elevated skull chest. Go left of its raised platform and light the dark path ahead.
Choose the right branch. At the next split, follow the right-hand route until the shrine’s green light becomes visible.
3. Receive Rauru’s Blessing
Activate Minetak Shrine. Examine the entrance and go inside.
Claim the blessing. Open the chest straight ahead for a Big Battery, then examine the altar for the Light of Blessing.
