Saas Ko'sah Shrine
Saas Ko'sah Shrine,[1] designated by the Trial name A Major Test of Strength,[1] is an Ancient Shrine in Breath of the Wild.
Entrance to the Shrine
Saas Ko'sah Shrine is located in the Docks of Hyrule Castle. It is initially buried underground and must be uncovered by lighting the large Torch located in the center of a ring of smaller Torches. As Link enters the Ancient Shrine, he is greeted by its Monk, Saas Ko'sah.[2]
Saas Ko'sah Shrine features a large, central chamber which acts as an arena. As Link approaches the center of the arena, a Guardian Scout IV, wielding an Ancient Battle Axe++, a Guardian Sword++, and a Guardian Spear++ will rise from a pit to challenge him. Unlike most Tests of Strength, Saas Ko'sah Shrine features no pillars throughout the arena. Instead, there are five metal blocks embedded into the floor, which can be lifted with Magnesis to protect Link from the Guardian Scout IV.
In order to reach the Monk's Pedestal, Link must defeat the Guardian Scout IV. Doing this causes the portcullis in the back of the room to open. When Link approaches Saas Ko'sah, the Monk will give him a Spirit Orb for overcoming the Trial.[3] Afterwards, Saas Ko'sah will wish Link well and fade away.[4]
