Keh Namut Shrine: Cryonis Trial

By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

This page offers a guide on how to reach and complete Keh Namut Shrine: Cryonis Trial, which is a part of The Isolated Plateau quest. Before heading to this shrine, we headed to Oman Au Shrine first and then Owa Daim Shrine.

How to Reach Keh Namut Shrine: Cryonis Trial

If you’ve just completed Owa Daim Shrine, as this guide recommends doing so, then you’ll want to begin heading north.

On the way, you will pass Mount Hylia’s summit. Feel free to climb up if you want. Even if you have already claimed the Warm Doublet, the Old Man will still be up there to chat and you can enjoy one heck of a view.

The last shrine is beyond a small pond. Do not swim through the pond, go carefully around it on the narrow strip of land.

The summit is located here on the map and the shrine is just nearby.

How to Complete Keh Namut Shrine: Cryonis Trial

Once you have safely made your way around the pond and across the narrow path, activate the pedestal and enter.

The final power we will be receiving will be a huge help once you find yourself having to cross large bodies of water without enough stamina or break points to swim.

Once inside, you will earn the Cryonis power for your Sheikah Slate. Cryonis lets you create ice blocks out of water, which you can then climb. You can even create multiple ice blocks, letting you create your own stepping stones. Swimming is quite the chore in this game so Cryonis is a welcomed addition.

If the holographic ice cube shows its full height, you are allowed to put an ice cube there (left), And yes, they are climbable! (right)

Press the L shoulder button to pick out where you want to create your ice block. Press [A] to make your block and use it to climb up to the next platform.

As you go forward you will be stopped by a gate above another body of water. Look carefully and you will see there is a gap between the gate and the water. Create an ice block right underneath it to lift the gate up, and walk under the gate to continue. You will be stopped by another Guardian Scout. As with before, it doesn’t have much health and only has one attack.

Create an ice block to close the gap (left), Then grab your loot and let’s keep going (right)

Once you’ve made your way down the hallway, look to your left to see the telltale glow of a treasure chest. Use Cryonis to make a block and then climb up it to get to the platform. The treasure chest will give you a Traveler’s Spear.

The next chamber of this shrine has what looks like a see-saw. To scale the wall, you will need to use Cryonis to make an ice block that will lift up the plank. So make an ice block and put it under the left or right side of the plank. You will then be able to walk up it like no big deal!

(1 of 2) As you can see, there is currently no way to get up there

As you can see, there is currently no way to get up there (left), But with some clever Cryonis now you can advance forward (right)

Make your way to the right and you will meet with the Keh Namut monk and claim your final Spirit Orb.
