Musanokir Shrine Location and Solution (TotK)

Where is Musanokir Shrine?

Inside Korok Forest, the heart of the Great Hyrule Forest. The forest is hidden by the lost fog and you cannot walk in, so the shrine is reached from the Depths: you Ascend through the ceiling beside Rikonasum Lightroot, directly below the forest. The location matches our 152-shrine table.

How to reach Korok Forest

1. Start at Minshi Woods Chasm. It sits southeast of the Great Hyrule Forest, west of Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower. Fast travel to Ekochiu Shrine if you have it and walk north until you find the gloom-covered chasm entrance.
2. Light Uihcoke Lightroot. Once you land in the Depths, glide south and activate it so the surrounding terrain appears on your map.
3. Head northwest to Korok Grove. The grove lies directly under the Great Hyrule Forest — flip your map between the Surface and Depths layers to check where you are.
4. Light two more Lightroots. You will run into Eknupup Lightroot first; from there, look southwest for Rikonasum Lightroot and activate it too.
5. Ascend. Climb the stairs to the south of Rikonasum Lightroot and use Ascend through the ceiling. You surface in Korok Forest, right at Musanokir Shrine.

Step-by-step solution

Musanokir Shrine is the shrine in the middle of Korok Forest, and the trick is that you cannot walk in — you come up through the floor.

1. Swing the Cube to Open the First Door

Raise the bridge. The first room has a gap. Grab the ball on the chain with Ultrahand to raise the platform, and attach it to the box on the far side of the gap.

Move the cube to the second chain. Detach the same cube from its chain. To the right of the chamber is another chain hanging beside a target — attach the cube to that one.

Swing it. With the cube on the chain, use Ultrahand to pull it back and let it swing into the target. The door to the next chamber opens.

2. Collect the Large Zonai Charge

Chest first. In the next room, lift the cube up to the raised platform with Ultrahand, then bring it back down. Stand on it and Recall it: the cube retraces its path and lifts you to the chest — Large Zonai Charge.

3. Build a Swinging Battering Ram

Build a battering ram. Take the log and raise it up to the box sitting on the rail. Fix it to the front so it sticks out like a ram.

Hang the cube under the ram. Attach the cube to the chain beneath your battering ram. If the cube fell earlier, it respawns — just grab it again.

Swing the cube high. Lift the cube up with Ultrahand and release: its momentum drags the box along the rail so the log slams into the target. The last door opens.

4. Claim the Light of Blessing

Altar. Walk through and collect the Light of Blessing.
