Step-by-step solution

The Northwest Hebra Cave Crystal is the shrine’s trial. The green crystal rests underwater in the icy lake.

1. Enter the Cave and Prepare

Enter the cave. Use the entrance west of Selmie’s Spot, find the hole in the ground, and glide down.

Make an ice weapon. Pick up an icicle near the landing point and use Fuse to attach it to a weapon.

Clear the lake area. Continue to the icy lake and defeat the Bokoblins there.

Activate the quest. Venture deeper, examine the shrine terminal, and start The Northwest Hebra Cave Crystal.

Move to the north shore. Find the shore on the north side of the icy lake.

2. Build Ice Bridge and Retrieve Crystal

Build an ice-sheet bridge. Swing the icicle-fused weapon over the water to create an ice sheet. Step onto it and repeat until the bridge reaches the green crystal.

Lift the crystal. Use Ultrahand to pull the green crystal out of the water and bring it to shore.
