Ready to conquer one of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s most iconic twin shrines? The Shee Vaneer Shrine, perched atop the Dueling Peaks’ southern summit, is half of a clever duo alongside its northern twin, Shee Venath Shrine. Together, they form the “Twin Memories” challenge—a puzzle that’ll test your observation and memory across Hyrule’s peaks. This guide covers finding Shee Vaneer, solving its orb-based riddle, and claiming every reward, all with a front-row seat to Hyrule’s stunning vistas. Whether you’re a shrine-hunting vet or a fresh adventurer, we’ve got your back—let’s dive in!
Finding Shee Vaneer Shrine
Shee Vaneer Shrine crowns the southern Dueling Peak, a towering landmark east of the Great Plateau, with its twin, Shee Venath, mirroring it on the northern peak. Here’s how to reach it:
- Starting Point: Kick off at Dueling Peaks Stable, east of the Great Plateau. Head north across the Big Twin Bridge, then veer right toward the southern peak.
- The Climb: The southwest ascent is your best bet—less steep, with handy ledges to catch your breath. Start from the fork between Big and Little Twin Bridges for a smoother path. Pack stamina-boosting grub (think Endura Carrots or Stamella Shrooms) or the Climbing Bandana from Ree Dahee Shrine to make it painless.
- Landmark: Spot the glowing orange entrance near the summit—it’s visible across the valley from Shee Venath Shrine. (Pro tip: Activate your Sheikah Slate’s shrine sensor for an audio ping as you close in.)
Once you’re up there, pause for the view—Hyrule’s rolling hills and distant towers are a sight to screenshot. Oh, and grab the Korok Seed at the peak while you’re at it!
Shee Vaneer Shrine Twin Memories Puzzle Solution
The “Twin Memories” trial is a brain teaser that links Shee Vaneer to Shee Venath. You’ll need to match this shrine’s 5×5 orb grid to Shee Venath’s original layout. Here’s the full breakdown:
- Step 1: Scout It Out: Enter the shrine and hop on the elevator to your left. Ride it up for a bird’s-eye view of the 5×5 grid—five orbs sit in specific pits. Snap a Sheikah Slate pic or sketch it (or peek below if you’re impatient). This is Shee Venath’s solution, so don’t mess with it yet.
- Step 2: Visit Shee Venath: Glide north across the valley to Shee Venath Shrine (lower on the northern peak). Take the elevator there, snap another pic of its orb layout—that’s what you’ll recreate here. Fast-travel back to Shee Vaneer to save time (no need to reclimb!).
- Step 3: Rearrange the Orbs: Back at Shee Vaneer, drop down and move the orbs to match Shee Venath’s original pattern. Use bombs for tricky spots or grab them by hand—precision’s the game.
Puzzle Solution Table:
Here’s the exact layout you need (facing the gate, top row to bottom):
| Row | Orb Position (Left to Right) |
|---|---|
| Row 1 | 5th |
| Row 2 | 1st |
| Row 3 | 2nd |
| Row 4 | 4th |
| Row 5 | 3rd |
Nailed it? The gate swings open. If it doesn’t, double-check your rows—perspective can trick you. Patience beats frustration here!
Rewards and Extra Goodies
- Treasure Chest: Before rushing to the monk, glide from the elevator platform to a ledge across the room (right side, facing the gate). Crack open the chest for a Giant Ancient Core—a rare gem for upgrading your Guardian-killing gear. (Note: Some sources say Eightfold Longblade, but Core’s more common—either way, you’re winning!)
- Spirit Orb: Climb the ladder past the gate, chat with Monk Shee Vaneer, and claim your orb. More hearts or stamina? Your call.
Pro Tips for Mastery
- Prep Smart: Cold resistance (Warm Doublet or Spicy Peppers) helps if the peak chills you. Revali’s Gale can zip you between peaks faster than gliding.
- Twin Trick: Equip different gear in each shrine’s pics (e.g., Miner’s Armor here, Soldier’s there) to avoid mixing up your screenshots.
