- By Firefly's Light Side Quest
- Find the Fairy Fountain Main Quest
Shrine Quest: The Stolen Heirloom
Once the required side quests and main quest are complete, visit Lady Impa's Hall for a cutscene which will begin the Shrine Quest. If Link passes by the guards before entering the hall, they'll be on guard and flustered, prompting Link to enter the hall. Link finds Paya crying in front of the small altar that had the Sheikah Heirloom Ancient Orb, stating that it was stolen. Impa asks Link to spend the night guarding Paya, who feels vulnerable due to the theft. Once Link does this, the rest of the steps can be taken.
Between 10 PM and 5 AM, look for Dorian, who will begin at his post outside Impa's hall, or may be on the path to the Lakna Rokee shrine's location. He should be easily found by the speech bubbles he will occasionally make when he pauses to consider his actions and surroundings.
Follow close enough to keep him moving but without being detected. When he crosses the bridge to the area with the pedestal, he will say 'Show yourself.' Move closer to trigger a cutscene.
You will battle a Yiga Blademaster, which may be a vicious battle if fought early in the game, but it's not unbeatable. Techniques such as Perfect Dodge, or just really strong weapons and defense, will serve you well. Another technique is to get lots of distance and use arrows, particularly enhanced arrows such as Ice or Fire, although once the battle has started, attempting to leave the area will just reset the battle, so be careful not to get too far away. If you die, your auto save may be later than 10 PM, but it's fine. As long as it's before 5 AM, you can still find and trigger Dorian's approach to the destination. At 5 AM he will change his mind and turn around.
It is possible to defeat the Blademaster with the Remote bomb rune, it is a slow process though.
Here's a tip from a pro on how to easily defeat the Yiga Blademaster. If you can get your hands on a Royal Bow, use Bomb Arrows! It will only take about five to six bomb arrows to defeat the Blademaster if they are fired from a Royal Bow and each lands a direct hit. There are two places where you can find a Royal Bow (even in the early game). The Blue Hinox sleeping at Talus Plateau in the Lanayru Wetlands has one on its necklace. The Blue Hinox sleeping by Herin Lake in the Lakes region has a Royal Bow on its necklace as well.
Once the Yiga Blademaster is defeated, place the orb at the pedestal to reveal the shrine, and unlock and head inside to complete the Shrine Quest.
Lakna Rokee's Blessing
After all that effort, the shrine itself contains no challenges at all. Simply move forward, open the chest, and then examine the altar for a well-earned Spirit Orb.
