Walkthrough

1
Locate the Ishokin Shrine in the Faron region, west of the Lake of the Horse God and east of Pappetto Grove. It's near Highland Stable. The shrine entrance is a stone structure without the usual green glow.
2
Interact with the shrine to learn you need to find a crystal. A beam will point northwest towards an NPC named Baddek.
3
Speak to Baddek. He will ask you to find and bring him the Giant Horse.
4
Go to Highland Stable and speak with the manager, Padok. He will mention a rumor about a giant white stallion heading towards the Lake of the Horse God.
5
Prepare for taming the Giant Horse: craft stamina-recovery food using items like Stamella Shrooms and Stambulbs. Having stamina upgrades from Light of Blessings is also recommended, as it requires about 2.5 to 3 stamina circles to tame.
6
Head west from Highland Stable, take the southern road at the fork, and cross the Horse God Bridge.
7
Just past the bridge, you'll find NPCs Jini and Straia by a campfire. The Giant Horse (officially the Giant White Stallion) is in the clearing to the east of them.
8
Sneak up behind the Giant Horse (press L Stick in) and press A to mount it. Spam A to stay on as it bucks and drains your stamina. Consume stamina-recovery food as needed.
9
Once tamed, ride the Giant Horse to Highland Stable and register it.
10
Ride the registered Giant Horse to Baddek, who is by the Ishokin Shrine. He will give you the crystal.
11
Carry the crystal to the Ishokin Shrine to enter. Inside, open the chest for a Topaz and approach the altar for a Light of Blessing.

Tips

Taming the Giant Horse requires a significant amount of stamina. Ensure you have plenty of stamina-recovery food and ideally some stamina upgrades.
