To access the Mozo Shenno Shrine, you must successfully complete the Shrine Quest "The Bird in the Mountains", which will reveal the shrine's hidden entrance in the Hebra Mountains.
The Mozo Shenno Shrine is located below the Biron Snowshelf within the vast Hebra Mountains region of Hyrule. Its secretive nature means it cannot simply be stumbled upon; it requires solving an environmental puzzle tied to a specific quest.
Unlocking the Mozo Shenno Shrine: The Bird in the Mountains Quest
The "The Bird in the Mountains" Shrine Quest is your key to discovering the Mozo Shenno Shrine. This quest tasks Link with uncovering a hidden shrine by interacting with a unique geological formation in the Hebra region.
Steps to Complete "The Bird in the Mountains" and Find the Shrine:
- Locate the Bird-Shaped Rock Formation: Travel to the northern part of the Hebra Mountains. Look for a distinctive large rock formation that strongly resembles a bird, complete with a head and an eye. This formation is found at one of the highest peaks in the region, specifically near the Rospro Pass.
- Ascend to the "Bird's Eye": Climb to the very top of this bird-shaped rock. You'll find a small indentation or hollow that represents the "eye" of the bird.
- Light a Bonfire: Within this "eye," you need to create a fire. This can be done by:
- Dropping wood and striking it with flint using a metal weapon.
- Using a fire-elemental weapon (e.g., a Flameblade) or fire arrows directly.
- Holding a torch ignited from another source.
- Observe the Revelation: Once a bonfire is lit in the bird's eye, a cinematic will trigger, showing a gust of wind blowing down into the snow. This action will melt the snow below the bird's beak, revealing the entrance to the Mozo Shenno Shrine.
- Enter the Shrine: Descend to the newly revealed entrance and step inside to activate and complete the Mozo Shenno Shrine.
