Stuck on the Eutoum Shrine? This guide breaks down how to beat the Proving Grounds combat challenge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, including enemy strategies.
This is a Proving Grounds shrine, so forget puzzles! It's all about combat and using the environment to your advantage. There's a neat trick you can use here to make things a lot easier, so let's get to it.
Walkthrough
- 1As soon as you enter, grab the weapons and shield provided. You'll need them! Then, head forward but immediately take a right. You'll see your first Construct enemy. Try to sneak up on it, but don't worry if it spots you.
- 2Take out this first Construct with the stick and shield you found. Grab any items it drops.
- 3Retrace your steps back to the entrance area and this time, take a right. Another Construct is waiting. Use the large pillar in the room for cover to get the drop on it, then defeat it quickly.
- 4Now for the fun part! Use Ultrahand to grab the spikes in front of you. Attach the second set of spikes to the first, creating a longer spiked contraption.
- 5Turn this spiked barrier onto its side, facing away from you. This will act as a defensive wall that damages any Constructs that come too close.
- 6The remaining Constructs will try to throw rocks at you. You can dodge these by moving, or you can even move the spiked barrier up and down to block them.
- 7Once those Constructs are dealt with, move forward with your spiked barrier. The final enemy is a stronger Construct that uses shock arrows.
- 8Get close to this final Construct. When it fires its shock arrows, they'll hit your spiked barrier and shock themselves, dealing massive damage. It should only take a couple of these self-shocks to defeat it.
- 9With the final enemy down, the shrine is complete! Head to the exit door. A chest containing a Sapphire awaits you, and then grab your Light of Blessing to finish up.
- Light of Blessing
- Sapphire
