Key takeaways

Use these points to plan the quest before entering the Lost Woods.

  • Start with Zooki The None Shall Pass? shrine quest begins when you speak with Zooki in Korok Forest. The crystal objective is tied to this quest rather than being an isolated shrine interaction.
  • The crystal is on a Stone Talus Search for the Stone Talus in a Lost Woods clearing. The green crystal is on the creature’s back, making the miniboss the central obstacle.
  • Climb to attack the objective The crystal takes the place of the Stone Talus’s usual weak-point arrangement for this encounter. Reach the creature’s back and strike the crystal directly.
  • Return the item to the shrine After the Stone Talus falls, carry the crystal or use Ultrahand to move it back to the shrine entrance. The shrine activates when the crystal is presented at its base.
  • The shrine interior is brief Sakunbomar Shrine is a Rauru's Blessing challenge. There are no interior puzzles, and the available treasure includes a Diamond.

The Sakunbomar Shrine Crystal guide

The Sakunbomar Shrine Crystal is the objective that unlocks Sakunbomar Shrine in the Great Hyrule Forest. The crystal is carried by a Stone Talus in a clearing within the Lost Woods, so the quest combines shrine discovery with a miniboss encounter.

To begin the None Shall Pass? shrine quest, speak with the Korok named Zooki in Korok Forest. The quest leads you toward the crystal associated with Sakunbomar Shrine, which is located in the Lost Woods. Because the target is on the back of a Stone Talus, the main challenge is reaching the creature and attacking its crystal-bearing back rather than searching for an ordinary shrine entrance.

The crystal changes the Stone Talus encounter’s usual weak-point setup. Instead of relying on a conventional weak point in the way a Stone Talus normally does, you must climb onto the creature and strike the crystal mounted on its back. Once the miniboss has been defeated, the green crystal can be carried or transported with Ultrahand back to the shrine entrance.

Place the crystal at the base of Sakunbomar Shrine to activate the structure and gain entry. The interior is a Rauru's Blessing challenge, so there are no shrine puzzles to solve after the crystal objective is complete. A treasure chest inside contains a Diamond, and the shrine also includes a statue of Rauru and Sonia.

The shrine’s position in the Lost Woods has a corresponding Depths landmark: Ramobnukas Lightroot. That relationship can help place the shrine within the wider map, but the crystal quest itself is resolved on the surface by defeating the Stone Talus and returning the quest item to the shrine base.

WalkthroughSpoilers

  1. 01

    Start None Shall Pass?

    Speak with Zooki in Korok Forest

    Go to Korok Forest and speak with the Korok named Zooki. This conversation starts the None Shall Pass? shrine quest and establishes the crystal as the objective rather than leaving you to discover the shrine independently.

    Location: Korok Forest

    TipMake sure the quest has started before leaving the forest so the crystal objective is properly associated with your active quest.

  2. 02

    Find the Stone Talus carrying the crystal

    Travel into the Lost Woods

    Proceed from Korok Forest toward the Lost Woods and search for the clearing containing the Stone Talus. The crystal is not simply sitting on the ground: it is visibly associated with the Stone Talus and can be recovered only after the encounter is resolved.

    Location: Lost Woods

    Watch outThe relevant target is the Stone Talus in the clearing, not the shrine entrance itself. If you search only around the shrine, you can miss the actual quest objective.

  3. 03

    Reach the crystal on the Stone Talus

    Approach the Stone Talus and identify the crystal

    Close in on the Stone Talus and locate the green crystal on its back. The placement changes the priority of the fight, because the crystal is the objective and must be reached on the creature rather than collected from a safe location nearby.

    Location: Clearing in the Lost Woods

    TipPlan your approach around getting onto the creature’s body. The back-mounted position is the important feature of this encounter.

  4. 04

    Get into position to attack the crystal

    Climb onto the Stone Talus

    Use the Stone Talus’s body as the route to its back, then position yourself beside the crystal. The encounter requires climbing onto the creature before you can strike the quest item effectively.

    Location: Stone Talus clearing

    Watch outDo not treat the crystal as a normal ground pickup during the fight. You must reach the back of the miniboss first.

  5. 05

    Defeat the Stone Talus

    Strike the crystal until the Stone Talus is defeated

    Attack the crystal while you are on the Stone Talus. Continue the encounter until the creature falls; the crystal becomes available for transport only after the Stone Talus has been defeated.

    Location: Stone Talus clearing

    Checkpoint
  6. 06

    Take the crystal to Sakunbomar Shrine

    Recover the green crystal

    After the Stone Talus is defeated, take the green crystal from the cleared encounter area. You can carry it directly or use Ultrahand to handle the transport, depending on how you want to move it through the Lost Woods.

    Location: Stone Talus clearing

    TipUsing Ultrahand gives you another way to move the quest item if carrying it directly is inconvenient.

  7. 07

    Return the crystal

    Transport the crystal back to the shrine entrance

    Bring the crystal from the clearing back to Sakunbomar Shrine. Keep the item with you until you reach the shrine’s base, because the quest is completed by presenting the crystal at that specific structure.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine entrance

  8. 08

    Activate the shrine

    Place the crystal at the shrine base

    Present the crystal to the base of Sakunbomar Shrine. The structure activates when the correct crystal is returned, opening the way into the shrine interior and completing the central recovery objective.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine

    Checkpoint
  9. 09

    Complete the shrine

    Enter the Rauru's Blessing shrine

    Enter Sakunbomar Shrine after it activates. This is a Rauru's Blessing challenge, so the interior does not contain a puzzle sequence; proceed inside to collect the available reward.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine interior

  10. 10

    Claim the shrine treasure

    Open the treasure chest

    Search the shrine interior for its treasure chest and collect the Diamond. The interior also contains a statue of Rauru and Sonia, marking the final discovery after the crystal has unlocked the shrine.

    Location: Sakunbomar Shrine interior

Mission mechanics

The defining mechanic is the crystal’s placement on the Stone Talus. Rather than treating the miniboss as a fight separate from the shrine objective, the quest makes the creature itself the carrier of the item. Reaching the back is therefore the key positional problem, and climbing is necessary before the crystal can be struck.

The transport stage begins only after the Stone Talus has been defeated. The green crystal can be carried, or Link can use Ultrahand to move it, giving the player a choice in how to handle the return journey. The item must ultimately be brought to the base of Sakunbomar Shrine for the activation to occur.

The final shrine section is deliberately straightforward. Sakunbomar Shrine is a Rauru's Blessing challenge, which means the reward is available without an additional interior puzzle. The quest’s meaningful gameplay is concentrated in the Lost Woods encounter and the crystal delivery.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • The crystal’s placement gives the Stone Talus encounter a clear connection to the shrine objective.
  • The quest offers two practical transport approaches after the fight: carrying the item or using Ultrahand.
  • The Rauru's Blessing interior keeps the shrine completion focused on the outdoor objective.

Weaknesses

  • The quest depends on locating a specific Stone Talus in a Lost Woods clearing, which can make the objective less obvious if you are searching only for the shrine.
  • The crystal is positioned on the miniboss’s back, so it cannot be handled like an ordinary collectible before the encounter is complete.

Best uses

  • Complete it while exploring the Great Hyrule Forest and Lost Woods.
  • Use the quest as a route to access Sakunbomar Shrine and its Diamond chest.
  • Use the shrine’s position alongside Ramobnukas Lightroot when organizing surface and Depths exploration.

Trivia

  • Sakunbomar Shrine is located in the Lost Woods within the Great Hyrule Forest.
  • The crystal is notable because it is mounted on the back of a Stone Talus rather than being found as a separate shrine quest object.
  • Ramobnukas Lightroot is the corresponding Depths landmark for the shrine.
  • The shrine’s interior uses the Rauru's Blessing format, so the main challenge happens before entering the shrine.
