Sinatanika Shrine Walkthrough

The puzzle is a shrine that teaches you how to do the perfect jigsaw. Sneakstrike — a technique you can use if you approach an enemy from behind undetected. You can move more quietly while wearing certain gear, like the Stealth Armor, but we completed this shrine with a set that doesn’t boost stealth.

1. A stationary Zonai structure is in the middle, surrounded on all sides by low walls. The L-stick can be pressed to walk quietly and crouch.

2. Staying crouched and walking around the wall, slowly make your way across the room.

3. There are gaps in the walls so make sure the Zonai construct is not looking in Link’s direction as you walk past the gaps. (If you don’t do a Sneakstrike, you will be reset to the front of the room and have to try again.)

4. Link should be located behind Zonai.

5. Slowly walk behind the Zonai construction while still crouching. The screen will ask you to choose Y for Sneakstrike if this is done correctly. The shrine will reward you for completing the Sneakstrike and give you a new task.

6. In the second level, Zonai will start to move around more. Once again, you’ll need to sneak behind it. You’ll need to be sneaky as the dog investigates a new area.

7. While the Zonai construction is looking into an area, quietly walk behind it and perform the Snreakstrike. It may be necessary to go through the middle section as we did. If you keep moving at a slow pace, it shouldn’t detect you.
