For many shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the challenge lies not inside the shrine but in the search for it. The Minetak Shrine is tucked away under the northern part of the map and can be a difficult shrine for players to locate during their normal exploration.
Minetak Shrine Location in TotK
Players can find the Minetak Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom beneath the Deplian Badlands to the north of the Thyphlo Ruins.
The shrine is accessible by way of the Deplian Badlands Cave located at the coordinates 0306, 3572, 0089. Fast traveling to the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower and gliding north through the sky is the quickest route for players to reach this destination.
The cave's entrance will be on the northern face of a cliff near an encampment of Bokoblins in a giant skull.
Minetak Shrine Walkthrough
Upon reaching the Deplian Badlands Cave, players will immediately find a steep hole and will have to make the short jump down into the darkness below.
The entirety of the cave is covered in a blanket of darkness, so it's highly recommended to have some Brightbloom Seeds or a set of glowing armor to light the way.
The cave is crawling with enemies, especially Horriblins, so having ample lighting can help players avoid an ambush from the cave's ceiling.
Once at the bottom of the cave, follow the wall to the right and continue down the tunnel. The path will have another opening on the right leading to the room pictured above.
Horriblins have made this section of the cave their own, and players will likely have to clear them out to proceed safely. If they do, they can be rewarded with a chest unlocking on a platform against the back wall.
Once done, players can turn back toward the way they entered to see two passages and should follow the tunnel that is now on their right.
Continuing down this tunnel will lead players to the Minetak Shrine, which they will eventually see on their right.
Activating the shrine's terminal will allow players to access Rauru's Blessing inside. There, they can receive a Light of Blessing from the statue and a Big Battery Zonai Device from the chest.
