About this guide

Overview

Eutoum Shrine is a Shrine of Light in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It is found in Goflam’s Secret Hot Spring, in the northern part of the Hebra Mountains. Its trial is called Proving Grounds: Infiltration, a combat challenge in which Link temporarily loses his normal equipment and must defeat the shrine’s Soldier Constructs using weapons, shields and materials supplied inside the shrine.

The shrine is a small, self-contained location rather than a settlement or broad overworld region. Its relevant surrounding area is Goflam’s Secret Hot Spring, while the wider regional context is the Hebra Mountains. The shrine does not contain shops, named residents, side quests or separate buildings beyond its entrance, combat arena and altar chamber.

Goflam’s Secret Hot Spring

Eutoum Shrine is set inside Goflam’s Secret Hot Spring, a named hot-spring location in the snowy Hebra Mountains. The shrine entrance is not placed in a village, stable or outpost. It is instead embedded in the hot-spring area, making the spring the immediate named subarea associated with the shrine.

The surrounding Hebra Mountains are cold and exposed. Players travelling to the shrine should prepare for the region’s freezing conditions, particularly if approaching on foot or climbing through the mountains. A cold-resistance meal, elixir or suitable armour is useful before reaching the entrance. One guide specifically recommends Snowquill equipment for the journey.

Not part of Eutoum Shrine itself

• Rospro Pass Skyview Tower
• Muotue Lightroot

Reaching the shrine from the surface

The most practical general route is to travel into the northern Hebra Mountains and continue towards Goflam’s Secret Hot Spring. If using the map, set a marker close to the shrine coordinates, then approach through the snowy mountain terrain.

The shrine’s position is listed as roughly −3506, 3570, 0387, although another reference gives −3507, 3570, 0401. Treat these as nearby map-marker readings rather than contradictory destinations.

A useful route is

1. 01
   Travel to Rospro Pass Skyview Tower or another unlocked point in Hebra.
2. 02
   Launch from the tower if convenient and glide northwards towards the shrine’s approximate position.
3. 03
   Use the map marker to identify the hot-spring area.
4. 04
   Land near Goflam’s Secret Hot Spring and search for the shrine entrance.
5. 05
   Activate Eutoum Shrine before entering so it becomes a fast-travel point.

Environmental preparation

The approach is exposed to Hebra’s cold climate. Before setting out, consider carrying:

The cold-resistance requirement applies to the overworld approach, not to the internal shrine combat trial in the same way. Once the trial begins, Link’s normal equipment is removed and the shrine supplies the necessary basic equipment.

Depths connection

Eutoum Shrine corresponds with Muotue Lightroot in the Depths. This relationship is useful for exploration and map completion, but Muotue Lightroot is a separate location and is not an additional section of the shrine.

---

The trial is designed around stealth, positioning and controlled engagements rather than a straightforward battle against every enemy at once. The supplied weapons are weak, so the shrine expects Link to use sneakstrikes, enemy drops and Fuse materials efficiently.

Eutoum Shrine has four practical sections

1. 01
   Entrance equipment area
2. 02
   Outer combat arena
3. 03
   Raised ledges and inner room
4. 04
   Altar chamber

Entrance equipment area

When Link enters a Proving Grounds shrine, the game removes his ordinary weapons, shields, bows, armour and other equipment. The available guides identify the equipment near Eutoum Shrine’s entrance as including:

Take everything available before moving into the main arena. The shrine’s challenge is intended to be completed with equipment found inside and items dropped by the Constructs.

The Paraglider and Link’s unlocked abilities remain available. In particular, Ascend is important for reaching the raised ledges and gaining a better position over the Constructs.

---

Entrance equipment area

• Long Stick
• Wooden Stick
• Old Wooden Shield

1. Collect the starting equipment

Pick up the Long Stick, Wooden Stick and Old Wooden Shield near the entrance. Do not rush into the main arena before collecting them.

The supplied gear is basic, but it is enough to begin the trial. The first objective is not to win a prolonged fight. It is to secure a safe position and remove enemies one at a time.

2. Move quietly into the arena

Crouch and advance carefully. The shrine’s title, Infiltration, reflects the intended method: use stealth to reach advantageous positions before the Constructs detect Link.

Avoid running directly into the centre of the arena. If several Constructs become alert together, Link can be overwhelmed because the starting weapons have limited durability and damage.

3. Use Ascend to reach the ledge

Move towards the right-hand side of the arena and use Ascend on the nearby ledge. From above, Link can watch the movement of the Constructs and choose when to drop behind one.

The elevated position also makes it easier to glide down for a sneakstrike. This is safer than approaching every enemy at ground level.

4. Perform a sneakstrike on the first Construct

Wait until the nearest Construct turns away. Drop or glide behind it and perform a sneakstrike.

The first attack may not defeat the Construct outright, but it should remove a substantial amount of health. Finish it with the supplied weapon, then collect the items it drops.

The first defeated Construct provides useful resources, including a Soldier Construct Horn and a Long Stick according to the available walkthrough.

5. Improve a weapon with Fuse

Use Fuse to attach the Soldier Construct Horn to one of Link’s available weapons. This improves the weapon’s effectiveness and makes the next encounters more manageable.

Do not waste every weapon on a single enemy. The shrine’s restricted inventory means that durability management matters. If a weapon is close to breaking, use it for a final strike or fuse a replacement when possible.

6. Attack the Construct near the inner room

Return to the raised ledge and approach the Construct guarding the area near the inner room. This enemy can use a bow if alerted, so stealth is preferable.

Drop behind it when its back is turned and perform another sneakstrike. Defeat it, then collect its dropped weapon or materials before moving on.

7. Fuse spikes to a weapon or shield

After clearing the outer part of the arena, inspect the nearby spike hazards. Fuse spikes to a weapon and shield where useful.

A spiked weapon increases the damage potential of the basic equipment. A spiked shield can also provide an additional offensive option while blocking, though the precise usefulness depends on your timing and preferred play style.

The key point is to use the shrine’s environmental materials rather than relying only on the unmodified sticks.

8. Lure the next Construct away from the group

Use a bow, if available, or another ranged option to draw the nearest Construct away from the inner room. Fight it in an open area away from the other enemies.

This prevents the remaining Constructs from joining the battle immediately. If you are detected before reaching a safe position, retreat rather than allowing the whole room to become active.

9. Clear the remaining outer enemies

Repeat the lure-and-defeat approach for another Construct. Collect any dropped equipment and use the best available weapon for the next engagement.

The available walkthrough describes defeating four Constructs before dealing with the final enemy inside the inner room.

10. Enter the inner room

Once the outer Constructs have been defeated, approach the inner room carefully. One final Construct remains inside.

Defeating every Construct opens the way to the altar chamber.

Use the same method if possible

1. 01
   Observe its patrol.
2. 02
   Wait for it to turn away.
3. 03
   Approach from behind.
4. 04
   Perform a sneakstrike.
5. 05
   Finish the fight with a fused weapon.

11. Claim the chest and Light of Blessing

Enter the altar chamber and open the treasure chest. The chest contains a Sapphire. Then examine the shrine’s altar to receive a Light of Blessing and complete Eutoum Shrine.

---

Soldier Constructs

The shrine’s enemies are Soldier Constructs positioned around the arena and inner room. There is no separately named boss encounter. The challenge comes from fighting several ordinary enemies while deprived of Link’s normal equipment.

Why stealth matters

The starting weapons are deliberately modest. A direct fight against several Constructs can consume durability quickly and leave Link exposed to arrows or simultaneous melee attacks.

A sneakstrike changes the opening exchange in Link’s favour. It also lets you turn the shrine’s layout into a sequence of smaller encounters rather than one large battle.

---

Fixed shrine items

The following items are associated with Eutoum Shrine’s fixed trial content:

The first three are supplied at the entrance. The Horns come from defeated Constructs, while the Sapphire is in the treasure chest after the combat trial is cleared.

Fixed shrine items

• Long Stick
• Wooden Stick
• Old Wooden Shield

Reward directory

The Sapphire is a standard shrine chest reward and is not required to open the altar. The Light of Blessing is the shrine-completion reward.

---

Eutoum Shrine does not have a separate Korok Seed, side quest reward or optional puzzle chest identified by the available shrine guides. Its listed treasure is the Sapphire chest in the altar chamber.

The chest is effectively missable only if the player leaves the shrine before opening it. After completing the trial, return to the altar chamber and collect the Sapphire before fast-travelling away.

There is no indication in the researched sources of a time-limited reward, branching outcome or progression-dependent alternate version of the shrine.

---

Hebra Mountains

The shrine belongs to the Hebra Mountains region. The wider region contains numerous other shrines, caves, cold-weather routes and settlements, but these should not be treated as parts of Eutoum Shrine.

Rospro Pass Skyview Tower

Rospro Pass Skyview Tower is a practical launch point for an aerial approach. From the tower, Link can glide towards the northern mountain area and use the shrine’s approximate coordinates to correct the final approach.

Muotue Lightroot

Muotue Lightroot is the shrine’s Depths counterpart. It offers a useful vertical relationship for players mapping the region across the Surface and Depths, but it has its own location, activation process and exploration context.
