How to Complete Dyeing to Find it Shrine Quest

Learn how to complete the Dyeing to Find it Shrine Quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Find the shrine and solve the shadow puzzle with this guide.

Alright, let's get this shrine quest sorted! This one's called 'Dyeing to Find it,' and it's a bit of a hidden gem in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. You won't find it marked on your map, so we'll have to rely on a bit of exploration to track it down.

Where to Find the Quest:

You'll need to head over to the Lanayru region. Specifically, look for the Rabia Plain area, which is just east of a spot called Quatta's Shelf. Keep an eye out for a small rock face; if you see a Steward Construct and a rotary machine nearby, you're in the right place!

Starting the Quest:

Once you've reached the area, chat with the Steward Construct. It'll tell you that you're on sacred ground and that a message needs to be conveyed: 'Dye the white pattern black when the sun awakens in the sky. Then the sacred shrine will appear.' Sounds cryptic, right? But don't worry, it's not about actual dyeing.

Solving the Puzzle:

This riddle is all about using the sun and its shadows. Here's the plan:

1. Advance Time: First things first, you need to get the sun in the right position. Head over to the fire pit next to the Steward Construct and light it. Wait there until it becomes morning, ideally between 5-6 AM. This is your prime window to solve the puzzle.
2. Prepare the Panel: Grab one of the wooden panels lying around. Use your Ultrahand ability to pick it up and then insert it into the side of the stone structure that's right next to you.
3. Align the Shadow: Now, use the rotary contraption to spin the stone structure. Your goal is to make the shadow cast by the structure line up perfectly with the diagram etched onto the slide of the rock face. This can be a little tricky because the sun moves, so you'll need to be quick and precise!

The Reveal:

Once you manage to get the shadow perfectly aligned with the diagram, a little cutscene will play, and the shrine will appear as if by magic! And just like that, you've completed the 'Dyeing to Find it' Shrine Quest. There aren't any special rewards for finishing the quest itself, but of course, the shrine itself holds its own treasures.
