The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has 120 shrines in the base game, and each contains a different puzzle for players to solve. One of the many difficult shrines in Breath of the Wild that is hard to find and even harder to solve is the Shai Utoh Shrine.

The Location of the Shai Utoh Shrine

The Shai Utoh shrine is located in Breath of the Wild's breathtaking Faron region, south of the area's lakes. This shrine is situated very near the Lakeside Stable. If players pass through the stables to the back, there will be a breakable area where players can use one of their bombs to break it. The shrine will be inside that hole in the cliff.

Solving Shai Utoh's Puzzles

This shrines puzzles revolve around manipulating the freeze time rune on the Sheikah slate. Players will have to tilt each of the seesaws in the correct direction, freeze it, then climb it before the time lock runs out. The first seesaw is right inside the door of the shrine. Players can freeze it in its current state, then run up the hill, getting to the next platform.

For the next platform, freeze it in place with the Sheikah slate's rune ability so Link can run to the right, onto the next platform and get a treasure chest. Pick this chest up (after getting the sword out of the chest) and bring it along for the next part; Link will need it for the final seesaw.

Head back to the second seesaw and stand on the high end until it lowers all the way to the floor. Then freeze it with the time rune in place and run to the other side of the platform.

Breath of the Wild players are now at the final platform of this puzzle. Using the treasure chest to weigh down the left side of the seesaw, players will have to time freeze the flat platform above it and run across it before the rune runs out. Interact with the box around Shai Utoh's body to get the rewards for completing the shrine.

Getting Shai Utoh Shrine's Secret Chest

In order to grab the secret chest, players will have to use the treasure chest to catapult themselves to it. Here is video that shows players how to do it:

After players nab the chest, there is nothing left to do in this shrine, and they can move on to the next of the 120 shrines in Breath of the Wild.
