Description

An ancient Rito song holds the secret to finding a Shrine from a mysterious platform.

Walkthrough

• Talk with Bedoli who is found on the landing platform just below the Shrine on the path down toward the base of the Rito Village.
• She will ask if you heard her singing the song. Ask her to teach it to you.
• Bedoli only knows so much of the song and asks you to talk with her sister Laissa to learn the rest of it.
• Go to the Rito house across from the shrine in the Village. There you will find Laissa.
• Talk with Laissa, she will challenge you to recite the lyrics of the song.
• Choose "The pride of the Rito", "Pillar in the sky", "Its heart lights up", "When the sun is high" to complete her challenge.
• Making all the right choices will have Laissa recite the rest of the song for you.
• Head to the back of Akh Va'quot Shrine. Go to its edge and look to the left (South).
• Go over to the shrine platform. When you approach it, you will likely encounter a trio of Chuchus.
• Defeat them and then, depending on the time of day, prepare to wait.
• The shrine platform will activate between 12:30 and 13:30.
• To trigger this shrine platform, you will need a lit torch.
• Use some Flint or a flame weapon and some Wood. Create a camp fire and wait until Noon.
• Relight the camp fire and ignite your torch (or tree branch but the torch will work best).
• Make your way to the Shrine platform between 12:30 and 13:30. Hold a lit torch over the center of the platform.
• Doing this while the platform is lit up will reveal the Bareeda Naag Shrine

Dialogue

Bedoli: Good morning! I heard that Divine Beast Vah Medoh had been appeased. It just sends my heart soaring! I didn't even realize I had started singing this old song. Did you hear my singing it?

Link: Teach it to me!

Bedoli: Huh? Well, that's embarrassing... *ahem* "The pride of the Rito, pillar in the sky, its heart lights, up when the sun is high." ...Uhhh. There's more to the song, but I forget the rest of the words.

Laissa: Morning. So Bedoli told you I would sing you the last half of the ancient Rito song? Her memory really is the worst... I can help you, but there is a catch! Recite the first half from memory, and I will teach you the second half.

Link: I'll give it a shot.

Laissa: Go ahead.

Link: The pride of the Rito

Laissa: Correct, and after that?

Link: Pillar in the sky

Laissa: Ah... Right again. And then?

Link: Its heart lights up

Laissa: Well done. Now for the final line...

Link: When the sun is high.

Laissa: Aha! You got every word right! Well, a promise is a promise. I'll teach you the last half of the song. The heart shines upon a path not whole, but a warming flame can stir its soul. That's the second half of the ancient Rito song. Profound, isn't it?
