Here’s a complete walkthrough of the Ijo-o Shrine:
- Firstly, after entering the shrine, head straight and you will see a passage blocked by a huge block of ice. To destroy the ice, look to your right and you will see a construct that has a flame-emitter shield. The construct is easy to kill with only a few hits. Be careful though, it might burn you with its flame attack. Once killed, pick up the shield and use it to melt the ice. You can now proceed to the next room.
- Once you enter the second room. You will immediately see flamethrower traps that are activated. Look to your left and you will see another construct. But this time, instead of a flamethrower, it is using a stone slab as a shield. Eliminate the construct and use the shield to block the flames and get past the next room. Also, on the right side of the room is a block of ice. Melt the ice using the Flame-emitter shield. to collect the hidden treasure. The treasure contains Arrow x5.
- After reaching the final area, there is one final enemy. Defeat the Captain Construct. You can take the weapons the construct drops if you have enough storage in your inventory. You will see a bunch of rockets on either side. All you need to do is find a rusty shield lying around the corner of the room.
- Lastly, if you have managed to find the rusty shield in the final room. All you need to do is create a jetpack. To create a jetpack, Use the Fuse ability or Ultrahand ability to attach the shield and rocket together. You only need to use one rocket. There is no need to attach multiple rockets to the shield. The last area is above the platform. Activate the shield to launch yourself into the air. Jump before it explodes then glide your way through the shrine.

This specific shrine is found on the Sky Islands of the West Hybra Sky Archipelago. I recommend you fast-travel to the Rospro Skyview Tower.

- After that, once you are in the air, glide towards the island just to your left. Make sure to use your glider at the right moment so you won’t miss the landing spot. I suggest you open your glider once you reach the highest point after you are launched into the sky. I have included the coordinates of the island as well. -3856, 2686, 0702
- As soon as you reach the island, head straight to the shrine entrance. It is a big rock with a green aura coming out from the top, as can be seen in the picture below. Interact with the stone to open a portal that will get you inside the shrine. Be prepared for the challenges that await you inside.
