Looking for the Kayra Mah Shrine in Breath of the Wild? You won’t find this one just sitting on the landscape—it’s locked behind the A Brother’s Roast shrine quest. Grab your fireproof gear and get ready for a roast delivery run that’ll test your patience more than your combat skills. Let’s break down how to unlock this shrine and conquer the Greedy Hill trial inside.
Finding Kayra Mah Shrine Location
Kayra Mah shrine is tucked inside Gorko Tunnel in the Eldin region, southwest of Gorko Lake. But before you can even see it, you’ll need to complete A Brother’s Roast shrine quest first.
Here’s the quick location breakdown:
- Region: Northern Hyrule, Eldin Tower region near Death Mountain
- Exact Location: Gorko Tunnel, southwest of Gorko Lake
- Nearest Shrine: Daqa Koh shrine (fast travel here, then head south across the lake)
- Coordinates: Watch for the tunnel entrance on the west side of the area
Oh, and make sure you’ve got fireproof protection sorted—either the Flamebreaker Armor set or fireproof elixirs. The Eldin region doesn’t mess around with heat damage.
Completing A Brother’s Roast Shrine Quest
You’ll need to play delivery person for two worried brothers before this shrine reveals itself. Head to Goron City and track down Bladon near the Protein Palace on the city’s southwest side (lowest level, last house on the right).
Here’s your step-by-step:
- Step 1: Talk to Bladon in his hut near Protein Palace in Goron City. He’s worried about his brother Gonguron.
- Step 2: Fast travel to Daqa Koh shrine, then head south across Gorko Lake to reach Gorko Tunnel.
- Step 3: Enter the tunnel and chat with Gonguron. Bladon shows up and asks you to fetch a Rock Roast for his exhausted brother.
- Step 4: Exit the tunnel, turn left, and head downhill toward the lava pit. You’ll spot several Rock Roasts on a ledge near the lava at the bottom.
- Step 5: Grab one Rock Roast—but don’t start climbing yet. Set it down in a safe spot first.
- Step 6: Clear the path of enemies. You’ll face Black Moblins and Fire Chu enemies (around three Moblins and two Fire Chus). Take them all out before attempting your climb. (Pro tip: If enemies hit you or the roast, it’ll roll all the way back down to the lava. Save yourself the frustration.)
- Step 7: Pick up the roast and start your climb. Stick to the left side of the trail—it’s the safest route.
- Step 8: Near the top, a massive boulder drops and rolls toward you. Hug the left wall and it’ll roll harmlessly past.
- Step 9: Deliver the roast to Gonguron at the cave entrance. Quest complete! The shrine appears immediately.
Solving the Greedy Hill Trial
Your goal inside Kayra Mah shrine is simple: reach the top of the incline without getting flattened. Metal boulders and spiky balls roll down toward you, but here’s where your rune abilities shine.
The shrine throws objects at you—some dangerous (metal death balls), some profitable (rupees cascading down). Use Stasis to freeze the dangerous rolling hazards, or Magnesis to grab and move the metal boulders out of your path. You can also just dodge them if you’re feeling confident. (Pro tip: Keep an eye out for falling Rupees—you might want to risk a hit to grab some extra cash.)
Take the right-hand path as you climb. About halfway up, you’ll spot an alcove in the wall containing a treasure chest with a Ruby inside. Don’t miss it!
Once you reach the top, turn around. You’ll see another chest within paragliding distance to your right. Glide over and pop it open for five Bomb Arrows—always useful for your arsenal.
Climb back to the top and approach the Kayra Mah Monk to claim your Spirit Orb. Shrine cleared!
Rewards
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- Spirit Orb: From the Kayra Mah Monk at the shrine’s end
- Ruby: In the alcove chest on the right path going up
- Five Bomb Arrows: In the chest you paraglide to from the top
- Rupees: Scattered throughout the trial if you’re quick enough to grab them
Pro Tips
- Clear enemies first: Seriously, don’t try carrying that Rock Roast while enemies are alive. One hit and you’re back at square one.
- Stasis is your friend: Inside the shrine, freeze those metal boulders instead of risking a dodge. No need to play hero.
- Stock up on fireproof protection: Whether it’s armor or elixirs, you’ll need continuous protection in the Eldin region. Flamebreaker Armor is your best bet.
- Right path for treasure: Always take the right-hand route up the incline to access that Ruby chest easily.
- Paraglide carefully: When you turn around at the top, make sure you’ve got enough stamina to reach that Bomb Arrow chest. (Think Endura Carrots or Stamella Shrooms if your stamina wheel is small.)
- Save before the quest: If you’re worried about messing up the roast delivery, save right before you pick it up. Your call.
Why This Shrine Matters
Kayra Mah shrine might seem like a pain with its prerequisite quest, but it’s actually one of the more unique shrine experiences in Breath of the Wild. The quest itself teaches patience and enemy management, while the shrine trial gives you options—dodge, freeze, or control the obstacles in your path.
Plus, those Bomb Arrows and the Ruby are solid rewards for your effort. Every Spirit Orb counts toward your health or stamina upgrades, and this one comes with a memorable story about brotherly love (and Rock Roasts).
