A guide on how to complete Hawa Koth Shrine, found southwest of Gerudo Town.

Hawa Koth shrine is found southwest of Gerudo Town.

How to Complete Hawa Koth: The Current Solution

First off place the two metal cubes on the podiums using magnesis, so that the electricity flows to the lamp.

In the next room, use magnesis to pull the metal ball on the chain, it’s wrapped around a column and you’ll need to untangle it before you can pull the ball over to the bulb you need to light up. When that bulb is powered you’ll be able to use the platform to get up the next bit of the puzzle.

Use the cubes to conduct the electricity.

Before you head up, use magnesis to pull up the treasure chest from the water. You can loot it for an Ancient Core. Once on the upper level, you need to pick up the new metal ball using magnesis and make your way across the bridge. Before doing so, quickly take out the guardian scouts using arrows or bombs or by running over to them to get into melee range. Then, pick up the metal ball with magnesis and lift it high into the sky away from the bulbs on the bridge. High up on the right hand wall, you’ll find a small ledge with a bulb. Place the ball on it to open up a gate into a room with a treasure chest you can loot for 300 Rupees.

(1 of 2) Use the ball on the chain to power the cogs

Use the ball on the chain to power the cogs (left), then take the second ball across the bridge. (right)

Head back around and place the ball next to the bulb at the end of the bridge. This will open a gate to the right. In this room, you’ll need to line up the wires to power the cog on the right hand wall. To do this, stand on the pressure plate and let all the blocks tilt towards the back wall. Then, use magnesis to pull the metal cuboid from the left to the right. You want to get the metal cuboid between the 1st and 2nd stone block in the middle so that when you step off the platform the blocks all line up and the wire circuit it complete (see the picture below).

(1 of 3) Use the ball to power the cog to open the door to the right.

This will open up the gates in the corner of the room and grab the cog. Use magnesis to place the cog in the empty space on the wall in the other room. This will open up the gate to the end of the shrine where you can claim your Spirit Orb!
