Special Tests

Ta'loh Naeg's Teaching

This variation on the Tests of Strength requires Link to demonstrate the use of various techniques, as specified by Monk Ta'loh Naeg. The Guardian Scout in this shrine does not walk and can only attack.

A Major Test of Strength+ (DLC)

This is part of The Champions' Ballad downloadable content. Link must face all types of Guardian Scouts, generally with relevant-level Guardian Weapons, while wielding the One-Hit Obliterator. This weapon locks out all other weapons (although not bows or shields) and allows him to kill any enemy with a single hit, while having his own HP locked to the minimum and thus being vulnerable to death in one hit himself.

Upon completion of the Divine Beast Tamer Trials of the Great Plateau, the One-Hit Obliterator will no longer be available to Link, meaning the difficulty of the Guardian Scouts will become normal.

In-Shrine Features

Some of the shrines have different features that may be present. Most shrines have breakable columns that Link can use for cover, as charging Guardian Scouts may collide with them. Other shrines have metallic blocks embedded on the floor that Link can lift with Magnesis for the same purpose. Lastly, other shrines may be flooded to ankle height in which Cryonis blocks can be created; these ones are particularly more difficult because Cryonis blocks are brittle to guardian weapons and to their laser beams.
