Our guide will help you find the Jogou Shrine location and walk you through “Rauru’s Blessing” to collect the chest and Light of Blessing.

When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.

Jogou Shrine Location

You can find the Jogou Shrine within the Lanayru Great Spring region. Looking at the map, you’ll want to head to the river in the deep canyon of the East Necluda region, where you’ll find a stone bridge along the water called Lanayru Road, East Gate.

The water is a good place to swim (or glide) towards the east. You’ll soon reach an underground cave — specifically, the Lanayru East Cave.

Head through this cave to reach the shrine’s coordinates (3346, -1187, 0057), although of course you’ll face some challenges along the way.

The cave begins with a large amount of water. If you’ve got Zora Armor, or any food that can increase your swim speed use them to your advantage. As you head eastward, deeper into the cave, you’ll run into OctoroksYou will also see glow-in-the-dark cave fish. Ore DepositsThis is a gem that you can break open and find.

Keep on heading east, further and further into the watery cave, until you hit land — and a Rock LikeContinue eastward, and you will come across a large cavern. You will enter a huge cavern by continuing east. In the center of this room, you’ll be able to see the green glow of the exterior of Jogou Shrine peeking out from behind a huge rock structure surrounded by a moat.

You can grab Brightcap Mushrooms and Brightbloom Seeds if desired. To the left, you might see an opening that looks like it’ll take you deeper into the cave; that’s actually another entrance (or exit) for this cave. To the right, there’s a different small opening with a Bubbulfrog inside.

As you keep walking around the edge of the moat surrounding Jogou Shrine, you’ll run into the big challenge of this room (and this shrine): It’s a big ol’ Black Boss BokoblinFollowed by Five Black Bokoblins. This fight will be tough, so here’s the good news: Jogou Shrine will be puzzle-free once you actually get inside. This battle was won by carefully removing each smaller Bokoblin before finally defeating the giant.

There’s an Octorok waiting in the moat as well, but after that big Bokoblin battle, you should make quick work of it.

The first option is obvious: you can swim over the water and then climb the rocks to reach the shrine. The rock structure surrounding the shrine is covered in water and moss, meaning you’ll need a Sticky Elixir to climb it — or you can put on Froggy Armor, if you have it.

There’s an easier way, though, if you have some arrows and Bomb Flowers. Walk around to the far end of the rock structure surrounding the shrine, and you’ll see a section of rocks that can be blown up. You will then have a shorter and easier way to reach the shrine.
