Hebra

Dunba Taag - Build and Release

Shrine Dunba Taag Breath of the WildLocation: Hebra, all the way to the south of the region, in between very high cliffs
Required: -.
Go ahead, notice the pressure switch on the left, then use Stasis to stop the wheel when the bar is slightly tilted to the right so that two balls have enough time to hit the switch, which lifts the bars. Go into the following room and turn left.
Stand next to the edge and the bars, then make several bombs explode to destroy or make stone blocks fall down, thus freeing the path to a pressure switch. Then go get a barrel, place it next to the edge, freeze it, then hit it several times to press the switch, which lifts the bars next to it. But there's an easier way! Don't make the stone blocks fall down, stand next to the edge and shoot a Bomb Arrow right in the middle of them, and one of them should be propelled towards the switch. Open the chest next to it for a Falcon Bow.
Now go into the part of the room which is behind you, where a ball lies. Move it a bit, freeze it, then hit it two-three times so it falls onto a big switch, which lifts some bars. Get a Great Thunderblade from the chest, then go in the northeastern corner of the room. You can again either place a barrel next to the edge, freeze it and hit it to make the big vertical slab fall down on the pressure switch, or: shoot a Bomb Arrow at the center of the slab to also make it fall. Once the bars behind the switch are lifted, go there where the monk is waiting for you, and gives you another Spirit Orb.

Gee Ha'rah - Tandem

Shrine Gee Ha'rah Breath of the WildLocation: Tabantha Snowfield, at Kopeeki Drifts
South of this snowfield, northwest of Hebra Tower, start by looking for two great doors. Then turn around and notice several tracks in the snow. Climb towards northwest in the direction of the skull, then once arrived at the top of the tracks, go north where there is a small camp and some snowballs. Pick up one of them, go back southeast a bit (up to the thicker line on your map), then place the ball at the top of the path so it gets bigger while rolling down and makes the doors collapse. Glide down there and get in.
Required: a few arrows.
Shoot an arrow at the rope, which makes the ball fall on the pressure-switch and lifts the bars. Go forward and go left. There you have to shoot an arrow at the rope on the left side so the ball falls on the pressure-switch on the right. Run to the chest and get a Diamond (and get your arrow back). Now go on the other side. Use Stasis to freeze the ball, then quickly, cut the two ropes with some arrows so it falls on the pressure-switch, which lifts the bars at the back. Go to the monk and receive another Spirit Orb.

Go down the ladder, go down the stairs, go straight ahead and fight another Guardian. Drop a bomb against the block and blow it up from afar, then keep going into another big room.
