The Hebra Mountains Northwest Cave Crystal

Cave

Drop down carefully to the first landing. Look to the Southern Wall. You’ll see an opening just below the level you’re on. Glide over into the opening. Drop down all the way to the base of the entrance shaft.

Getting down to the bottom of the cave, you will see a massive pool in the middle. The water is freezing cold and will immediately start doing damage if Link goes in it. There are a number of (Rare) Ore Deposits and some Luminous Stone Deposits as well. Searching around you can easily find a number of Hearty Truffles.

There are 2 large blocks of ice on the sides of the pool of water. The Block of Ice on the Eastern side has a Chest inside it. You can melt it with fire. Open the chest and you can claim the 3 Zonai Wings inside.

On the Southern shore, you will find a group of Bokoblins. You can sneak up on them and take out at least 1 with a careful Sneakstrike. Eliminate the rest of the Bokoblins after that. Look to the pool in the middle of the cave at this point.

In the water, you can see a glowing green gem, this is for the Hebra Mountains Northwest Crystal Shrine Quest. To reach it, you will need to create a platform over the water. Jump out onto the platform and use Ultrahand to grab the submerged Crystal.

Take the Crystal you have grabbed and set it down on the ground. Have Link go over to the Crystal on the ground and interact with it. This will start the quest.

Rutafu-um Shrine

Inside the Shrine, there’s a short set of stairs. Going up them, you will find the Chest within the Shrine. Open it to claim the Topaz within.

Collect the Topaz within the Chest. Head on up the stairs after that. Those will bring you to the top of the Shrine and its Innermost Chamber. Approach and interact with Glyph. This will activate the statues. They will give their Light of Blessing.
