The Serpent's Jaws

Game(s)
Quest Giver Kass
Location Pagos Woods
Reward Shae Katha Shrine

"The Serpent's Jaws" is a Shrine Quest in Breath of the Wild.[1]

Overview

In the Pagos Woods, Link can encounter Kass singing about a forest dragon along the edge of the Faron Highroad.[2] Kass is surprised to meet someone else so deep in the Woods.[3] He knows an "Ancient Song" pertaining to this location, which he asks Link if he would like to hear.[4] If Link agrees, Kass will excitedly share the song with him.[5] The lyrics describe an Ancient Shrine found between the jaws of a forest Dragon.[6] However, Kass has never seen a Dragon in this forest,[7] but he suspects it is referring to Damel Forest.[8] He knows for certain that there is a secret to be found,[9] after which he wishes Link well on his journey.[10] Once he is done speaking, the Shrine Quest.

After passing the ruins at Dracozu Lake in Damel Forest, Link will find the Spring of Courage inside the ruins of a Dragon head. When he prays to the Spring of Courage Statue, a large Goddess Statue that can be found at the Spring, he will hear the voice of Hylia congratulating him for finding the Spring.[11] She instructs him to offer Farosh's Scale and promises to guide him.[12]

Farosh's Scale can be obtained by shooting Farosh's body with an Arrow. It flies out of Riola Spring and through Lake Floria nearby. In addition, it is also found over the Vatorsa Snowfield in the Gerudo Highlands and in Lake Hylia. Once Link has obtained one of Farosh's Scale, he can return to the Spring of Courage.

At the Spring of Courage, Link must drop Farosh's Scale into the water. Doing so will cause the door behind the Goddess Statue to open, which will reveal the path to Shae Katha Shrine. With the way clear, Hylia tells him to go forward.[13] After this, the Shrine Quest will be completed.
