With theweapons in your possession from the beginningof the Shrine,make your way toward the right side of the arena,which will give you aview of four Training Constructs.One will be placed on top of a vehicle, while the others will be standing on the ground.
Before attackingany of them, you must be made aware of the following:Some Training Constructs will have a long banner-like objectsticking out of their head, signifying they are theScouting Constructs,and willalert nearby Constructsif it spots an intruder.
Not only are these Constructs annoying, butthey will also take lots of damage to eliminate,so you mustapproach them carefully and strategically,or you will be in a world of hurt if any nearby Constructs hear its siren go off.
Rasitakiwak Shrine: Using Your Bow And Arrow
Fortunately,the first Constructyou face positionedon the vehicle is not a Scouting Construct,so you cansafely fire an Arrow into its head to stun it and then another one to finish itoff. Dispatch it quickly and then move toward the one at the corner of the large cell in the middle of the room.
Unfortunately,this Construct is a Scouting Construct,but you canshoot several Arrows at its headto dealsignificant damage and stunit, thenfinish it off with your Thick Stick.Don’t use all of your arrows here;you will need them for the next Scouting Construct.
After you dispatch the Scouting Construct,look to your rightanddefeat the two Training Constructson the raised floor. You cansneak around them and use your Thick Stick to eliminate themquickly.

Next, there willonly be two Constructs near each other,one will beunderneath a large platformraised high into the air, and the other will bepositioned at the other corner of the cellin the center of the room. Yourtargetwill be theScouting Construct at the cornerof the cell.
Like the last one,unload the rest of your Arrows into its head,thenswiftly finish it off with your Thick Stick.It’s okayif the siren goes offasthe only Construct nearby that can hear and respond to it is the one underneath the platform,a standard Training Construct.
Defeating this Scouting Constructwill have itdrop its Spiked-Iron-Ball Hammer,which will bewhat you use for the remainderof the Rasitakiwak Shrine. This weapon is a beast. It’sincredibly durable and deals an enormous amount of damageto all Constructs.
After picking up the Spiked-Iron-Ball Hammer, make your way over to theConstruct underneath the platformandgive it two solid smacks to destroy it,leaving only a handful left.
Rasitakiwak Shrine: Eliminating The Remaining Enemies
There should be roughlyfour Constructs left,two of which will be Scouting Constructs.However, you possess the Spiked-Iron-Ball Hammer,so it won’t matter all that much.
Still,we strongly recommend still being a bit stealthyhere asyou do not want the Scouting Constructs alerting the remaining enemiesand having a swarm of four chasing you down.
As youapproach the back of the Shrinefrom where you defeated the Construct underneath the platform, you will seetwo Constructs near the wallandtwo more on the raised floor.Prioritize theones by the wall first,whichyou can sneak up to and dispatchwith your new weapon.
From there, thelast two Constructswill be on theraised floorand will have theirback toward you.Sneak up to them and land a Stealth Attackto eliminate them quickly.If one spots you, it’s fine,these are the final two enemies, andyour weapon will make quick work of them.
After youdefeat the final two Constructs,you willget your items backand canclaim your rewardsby going through thegate that has openedin the back of the Shrine.
