Overview

None Shall Pass is a Shrine Quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It begins in Korok Forest and leads to the hidden Sakunbomar Shrine in the Great Hyrule Forest.

To begin None Shall Pass, speak with Zooki, a Korok in Korok Forest. Zooki explains that monsters are blocking the route to the area where the shrine is hidden, turning the quest into a journey through the Lost Woods rather than a simple shrine discovery. The quest is therefore best approached as a combination of navigation and combat.

The route through the Lost Woods is marked by glowing Blue Nightshade flowers. Follow those flowers as landmarks while dealing with the enemies placed along the path, including Evermean, Stalkoblins, and StalMoblins. The flowers provide the quest's main navigation clue, so wandering away from their trail can make the approach to the shrine site less clear.

At the destination, the shrine crystal is attached to the top of a Stone Talus. Link must defeat the Stone Talus before the crystal can be returned to the shrine. Once the crystal is brought back, Sakunbomar Shrine becomes accessible; it is a Rauru's Blessing shrine with no additional puzzle, and its chest contains a diamond alongside the Light of Blessing reward.

WalkthroughSpoilers

  1. 01

    Start None Shall Pass

    Speak with Zooki in Korok Forest

    Find Zooki in Korok Forest and talk to the Korok to start None Shall Pass. Zooki explains that monsters are blocking access to the area containing the hidden shrine, establishing the route and the reason the quest is active.

    Location: Korok Forest

    TipMake sure the conversation with Zooki has occurred before setting out; the quest is initiated through this exchange.

  2. 02

    Reach the shrine site

    Enter the Lost Woods route

    Travel from the forest toward the area where the shrine is hidden, continuing into the Lost Woods. The intended route is not described as a direct shrine entrance; instead, the quest guides Link through the forest toward the blocked area.

    Location: Lost Woods

    Watch outLeaving the marked route can make navigation more difficult because the forest path is identified by its flower landmarks.

  3. 03

    Navigate toward the hidden shrine

    Follow the glowing Blue Nightshade flowers

    Look for glowing Blue Nightshade flowers and use them as the path markers through the Lost Woods. Continue from one visible cluster to the next rather than treating the first clearing as the destination, since the shrine site lies farther along the marked route.

    Location: Lost Woods

    TipWhen the route becomes unclear, search for the next glowing Blue Nightshade flowers before committing to a direction.

  4. 04

    Pass the monsters blocking the way

    Deal with the forest enemies

    Various enemies appear while Link follows the route, including Evermean, Stalkoblins, and StalMoblins. Clear or bypass these threats carefully enough to keep progressing along the flower-marked path; the supplied material does not establish a required enemy count.

    Location: Lost Woods

    Watch outDo not assume that reaching one enemy group means the entire route is clear; the quest describes several enemy types along the journey.

  5. 05

    Recover the shrine crystal

    Locate the Stone Talus at the shrine site

    Continue to the area where the shrine is hidden and identify the Stone Talus carrying the quest crystal. The crystal is attached to the top of the Stone Talus, making this enemy the central encounter rather than a separate collectible search.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine site

    TipOnce the Stone Talus is found, focus on the crystal-bearing enemy instead of searching the surrounding area for a loose crystal.

  6. 06

    Obtain the crystal

    Defeat the Stone Talus

    Defeat the Stone Talus so that Link can recover the crystal attached to its top. The supplied facts confirm the enemy and the crystal's position, but do not specify a particular weapon, ability, damage threshold, or combat sequence.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine site

    Watch outThe quest cannot be completed by merely reaching the shrine site; the Stone Talus must be defeated and its crystal recovered.

  7. 07

    Complete the Shrine Quest

    Return the crystal to Sakunbomar Shrine

    After the Stone Talus is defeated, take the recovered crystal back to Sakunbomar Shrine. Returning it completes None Shall Pass and unlocks access to the shrine interior.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine

    Checkpoint
  8. 08

    Claim the completion rewards

    Collect the shrine rewards

    Enter Sakunbomar Shrine after returning the crystal. Because it is a Rauru's Blessing shrine, there is no additional shrine puzzle to solve; collect the chest reward and claim the Light of Blessing.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine

    Checkpoint

Mission mechanics

None Shall Pass uses environmental navigation as its primary route mechanic. The Lost Woods section is organized around glowing Blue Nightshade flowers, which act as visual markers for the intended path. This makes observation more important than following a conventional road: when the next part of the route is uncertain, the useful information is the position of the next glowing flower marker.

Combat is layered into the navigation rather than presented as a separate arena at the start. Evermean, Stalkoblins, and StalMoblins are identified as enemies encountered along the way, while the Stone Talus at the shrine site serves as the objective-bearing encounter. The crystal is attached to the top of that Stone Talus, so progress depends on completing the encounter and then transporting the quest object back to the shrine.

The destination uses the Rauru's Blessing format. Once the crystal has been returned, the shrine itself does not add another puzzle sequence, allowing the quest's final phase to focus on collecting the interior reward rather than solving a second challenge.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The Blue Nightshade flowers provide a clear visual clue for navigating the Lost Woods.
  • The quest gives the shrine a strong field objective by attaching its crystal to a Stone Talus.
  • The Rauru's Blessing format keeps the final shrine visit concise after the outdoor challenge.

Weaknesses

  • The forest route can be harder to follow if the flower markers are overlooked.
  • The quest combines navigation with several enemy encounters before the main Stone Talus fight.
  • The supplied material does not identify a detailed combat counter for the Stone Talus.

Best uses

  • Use the quest as a focused Great Hyrule Forest exploration objective.
  • Treat the flower trail as the primary navigation reference.
  • Plan for both ordinary forest enemies and the crystal-bearing Stone Talus.

Encounter phasesSpoilers

  1. 1

    Forest approach

    Starts: Progress through the Lost Woods after speaking with Zooki.

    The route is marked by glowing Blue Nightshade flowers and includes encounters with Evermean, Stalkoblins, and StalMoblins.

    • Keep the flower markers in view while moving through the woods.
    • The source confirms the enemy types but does not provide encounter counts or attack patterns.
  2. 2

    Crystal-bearing Stone Talus

    Starts: Reach the area where Sakunbomar Shrine is hidden.

    A Stone Talus carries the shrine crystal attached to its top. Defeating it is necessary to recover the crystal.

    • No verified weakness, health value, or attack counter is supplied for this encounter.
  3. 3

    Shrine completion

    Starts: Return the recovered crystal to Sakunbomar Shrine.

    The shrine unlocks and presents the Rauru's Blessing reward sequence without an additional puzzle.

    • Enter the shrine after returning the crystal to collect the chest and Light of Blessing.

Stone Talus encounterSpoilers

  • Location
    The area where Sakunbomar Shrine is hidden in the Great Hyrule Forest
  • Health
    Not specified in the supplied material

The confirmed objective is to defeat the Stone Talus carrying the crystal attached to its top. The source pack does not verify a particular weapon, ability, weakness, health value, or attack pattern, so the reliable quest-specific advice is to identify the crystal-bearing Talus, complete the encounter, and recover the crystal afterward.
