Master combat in Tears of the Kingdom! Learn to side hop, backflip, parry, and charge attack to beat the Kyononis Shrine and get your Light of Blessing.
Hey there! So you've stumbled upon the Kyononis Shrine, huh? Don't worry, this one's all about getting you comfortable with Link's combat moves. It's basically a mini-tutorial shrine, teaching you some essential skills that'll make fighting a lot easier. You'll need to nail each one to pass!
- 1Side Hop: First things first, lock onto the Construct enemy using . Now, you need to move sideways using the left analog stick while pressing to jump. The trick here is timing – you want to do this right as the enemy's attack is about to land. Nail it, and you'll trigger a Flurry Rush! Just keep mashing to take advantage of the slow-motion window. You absolutely have to get this side hop and Flurry Rush down to move on, so keep at it! It's super useful for future fights too.
- 2Backflip: Similar to the side hop, target the enemy with . This time, you'll backpedal using the left analog stick and then press to jump. Again, perfect timing here will let you unleash another Flurry Rush. You'll need to successfully perform both the backflip and the Flurry Rush to progress.
- 3Parry: For this, make sure you've got a shield equipped! Ready it up by pressing . Then, when the enemy attacks, press to block and parry. It sounds simple, but it really comes down to good timing to counter their move.
- 4Charged Attack: This is the last move you need to learn. It's pretty straightforward: just hold down the attack button for a second or two, then release it to unleash a spinning attack. The longer you hold it, the more powerful and longer the spin, but be mindful of your stamina!
Once you've landed that charged attack, you've officially completed the shrine and all your combat training! Head to the end to grab the chest containing the Zonaite Sword and your well-deserved Light of Blessing.
- Don't get discouraged if you don't nail the Flurry Rush timing on your first few tries. It takes a little practice, but it's a crucial skill to master.
- Remember that the charged attack consumes stamina, so keep an eye on your green bar, especially if you've been doing a lot of running or climbing.
- The Zonaite Sword is a nice reward, so make sure to grab it from the chest at the end of the shrine!
