Like other games in the Legend of Zelda franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has various amounts of sidequests for Link to do. One subcategory of sidequests is the Shrine Quests, and completing these is the only way to get all 120 Spirit Orbs and more Heart Containers or Stamina Wheels.

In Breath of the Wild, Shrine Quests are unlocked the same way regular sidequests are unlocked: by speaking to certain NPCs with a red exclamation point over their heads. The Ceremonial Song Shrine Quest is the key to revealing the Dagah Keek Shrine near Zora's Domain. It follows a series of steps players need to take before they can collect the treasure within the shrine.

Starting "The Ceremonial Song" Shrine Quest

The quickest way to initiate the Shrine Quest is by warping to the Ne'ez Yohma Shrine. This is the shrine located inside Zora's Domain. At night, go out and speak to Laruta. She's a small, red Zora child with a red exclamation point near her speech bubble. When prompted, tell her, "I want to hear it," and she'll give a hint about what to do and where to go next.

Getting the Ceremonial Trident

Once the Shrine Quest is accepted, speak to Trello, who's standing on the left bridge connecting Zora's Domain to the cliff near Veiled Falls. Trello is a dark blue Zora, and he will be standing around looking down at the water. Speak to him, and he'll tell Link that he dropped the Ceremonial Trident in the water. From this bridge, paraglide down to the lower level indicated in the lower-right map in the above image.

If players are struggling to find the Ceremonial Trident, use Magnesis as a guide. The Ceremonial Trident is metal, so it should be highlighted when using Magnesis. Then, use Cryonis to cross over to where the trident waits. Use Magnesis again to pull it out of the water and collect it.

As a weapon, the Ceremonial Trident is a weaker version of the Lightscale Trident, but it is necessary for completing The Ceremonial Shrine Quest, so try not to break it.

Completing "The Ceremonial Song"

Now, climb up the cliff north of where the Trident was, use Revali's Gale, or warp back to the Ne'ez Yohma Shrine to get back on the bridge that Trello was standing on. Open up the map, and to the left of Zora's Domain, there's a place called Veiled Falls. Go there, and there should be an orange altar at the bottom of the waterfall.

Equip the Zora Armor and the Ceremonial Trident, then swim up the waterfall. As soon as Link jumps out the top of the waterfall and deploys the paraglider, aim Link so that he's directly above the altar. The goal is to use the Ceremonial Trident and pinpoint stab onto the altar, which is done by pressing the Attack Button (Y) while in midair.

If necessary, alternate between X Button and B Button to deploy/put away the paraglider to get Link closer to the altar before using the Ceremonial Trident. Don't strike the platform too close, or the shrine won't appear. If done correctly, the platform will turn from orange to blue, and the Dagah Keek Shrine will appear.

Dagah Keek's Blessing

Inside is a treasure chest containing a silver rupee worth 100 rupees. Speak to Dagah Keek to get the Spirit Orb to finish The Ceremonial Song Shrine Quest for good.
