Kema Zoos Shrine

By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

A guide on how to complete Kema Zoos shrine, found northwest of Gerudo Town, in the Wasteland Region. This shrine is associated with The Silent Swordswomen Shrine quest, but the quest is only optional and the shrine can be found without completing it.

How to Complete The Silent Swordswomen

Laine is a Gerudo woman guarding the west entrance of Gerudo Town. Talk to her and she will point out a statue of a swordswoman nearby. She hints that it is connected somehow to the sandstorms that frequent the area and cause your Sheikah Slate to become static. This being a Shrine Quest, it obviously leads also to a Shrine.

The secret to the swordswomen statues is that each time you find one, face the direction their sword points in and continue in that direction. Of course, it’s not that simple. If you get caught up with enemies, for example, you could very well find yourself stuck in a sandstorm not knowing which way is which and that could force you to start over. Try to walk as straight as possible, never deviating, and ignore enemies if you can.

Interestingly, is that it is entirely possible to find the Shrine without running into all of the Swordswomen statues. In fact, the Swordswoman near the skeletons points straight to the Shrine. If you go straight, literally going as ruler-straight as you can, you will run into the Kema Zoos Shrine. That’s what happened to us.

This screenshot above shows the Swordswoman statue closest to the Shrine in question. It is surrounded by four pillars. Once you have activated Kema Zoos Shrine, the Shrine Quest will be concluded.

How to Complete Kema Zoos: A Delayed Puzzle

Once you’ve found the shrine, the puzzle itself is relatively short. You’ll notice that a metal ball is being flung between two launchers. The ball is just too high up that you can’t trigger magnesis on it. So, what you’ll want to do first, is freeze it with stasis when its on a launcher. Then, when the launcher hits it, it’ll go into the air and then drop to the floor.

Once the metal ball is on the floor you can use magnesis to pick it up and place it inside the caged area to the left. You’ll want to place the ball next to the lightbulb to generate electricity and open up the gate so you can grab the treasure. You can loot the chest for a Moonlight Scimitar.

Then, take the metal ball to the right side of the shrine room and place it next to the second lightbulb. This will open up a gate right through to the end of the shrine where you can claim your Spirit Orb!

Use the ball to generate electricity on the lightbulb and open the gate.
