The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has many ways for you to test your skills, with Shrines being one of the best ways to brush up on the game's many systems and mechanics and hone your combat skills, which you will need to take down some of the game's more formidable foes.
Take the Makurukis Shrine, for example, a Shrine that focuses on honing your Archery skills, having you face off against Training Constructs with only your Bow and Arrows. While not a terribly tasking challenge, there are methods you can use to quickly and efficiently dispatch these units!
Makurukis Shrine (Combat Training: Archery) Walkthrough
Found in the southwest portion of the Hyrule Ridge region is the Makurukis Shrine, which will have Link complete a couple of Archery-based challenges to claim the Treasure Chest and Light of Blessing.
Makurukis Shrine: Archery Challenge One
Upon entering the Makurukis Shrine, you will be greeted with text on the screen that explains how the Training Constructs in this Shrine only take damage via your Bow and Arrow. Anything else will be ineffective, forcing you to put your Archery skills to the test.
The Shrine's first challenge is simple: Land a headshot on the Training Construct. If you do not have a Bow or any Arrows, you can find several of them leaning on the Weapons Rack to the left, so gather them if you need or want them.
This Training Construct is wide-open when the challenge begins, so if you take aim as soon as you gain movement, you can land a headshot with little to no effort, as it won't have time to fire back at you.
However, if you have to scramble to grab the provided Bows and Arrows, you will have to dodge its shot before taking aim. Still, it's well-telegraphed and easily avoidable. Just look for it to pull the string back and move to the left or right the moment you see it release the Arrow.
Makurukis Shrine: Archery Challenge Two
Landing a headshot on the first Training Construct will begin the second challenge, which involves you having to land headshots on three Training Constructs. This can be a bit tricky if you're not the best at Archery in this game, but there's a trick to this challenge.
On the left and right side of the arena are two pillars with an extended platform on them, allowing you to use your Ascend ability when under the extended portion to get on top of it.
Not only does this give you a height advantage, but jumping off the platform and aiming with your Bow will slow time down, allowing you to shoot all three Training Constructs in the head before you hit the ground to complete the challenge swiftly and in style.
Makurukis Shrine: Rewards
Completing the second challenge of the Makurukis Shrine will open the gate, leading you to a Treasure Chest and the Light of Blessing. Open the Chest to receive the Strong Construct Bow, which has the Attack Potency of 11, then head up to the statues to receive your Light of Blessing to complete the Shrine!
