To make it through to the end of this trial, you’ll need to know what to expect and what can be found in the room. It might take you a couple of tries, as the Constructs’ elementally-Fused arrows can hit hard, but with the right strategy, you can earn the Light of Blessing.
How To Complete Sifumim Shrine - Proving Grounds: Flow
When you enter the Sifumim Shrine, you’ll haveall of your equipment taken from you, including food and meals, so you won’t be able to heal.
Before entering the shrine, it’s a good idea toeat meals that boost your temporary hearts and your defense.
If you’re confident in your ability to dodge attacks, you canboost your attack power instead.
Grab theLong Stick,Wooden Stick, andOld Wooden Shieldon your left.
Ahead of you, there’s a small area leading to a river of water and two sets of wooden boxes, as well as some barrels.
For now,hide behind the wooden boxesto avoid drawing the attention of the Constructs, and to avoid their attacks if they do spot you.
Wait for a platformwith a Construct on it to float around on the river. When you cansafely jump onto the bottom ledge, do so, and thenuse Ascend to jump up to the higher platform. Kill the Construct here.
The other Constructs will most likely notice you during this.Be wary of them shooting arrows at you.
Make sure not to drop in the water, as some use electricity.
Collect all the loot it drops. You should have some arrows now and some elemental fruits to Fuse to them, soaim at the Constructs on the floating platformsand shoot as many as you can.
The Construct in the center of the room is aCaptain Construct IIand more difficult to defeat, soleave it for now.
If you didn’t kill all the Constructs using your arrows,use the same method of jumping onto the bottom platform and using Ascendto get the jump on them from below. Make sure tograb the loot off the Constructs you destroy.
Climb up to the next levelusing one of the ladders, or paraglide over after using Ascend on a tall platform. Here, you’ll do the same as before.
Use Ascend on a lower platform to reach the Constructsand attack them, then use arrows with elemental fruit Fused to them once you have enough height.
One of the floating platforms also has the shrine’s chest on it, above the Construct.
Kill the Construct on the lower platform and thenuse Ascend to reach the chest.
Once all the Constructs on the floating platforms are dealt with, all that’s left is the Captain in the center. Head to the back of the room anduse Ascend on the bridge that leads to the exit.
Turn towards where the Captain Construct is, and you’ll see a Spiked Iron Ball.Fuse this to one of your weaponsto increase its attack power.
Head down to the Captain Construct. It has a bow and arrows and access toIce Fruits, soit can freeze youif you’re not careful.
If you can,crouch and sneak up to it from behind to get in a Sneakstrike. Keep attacking it with your Fused weapon andstrafe to dodge its attacksuntil it goes down.
Constructs will immediately die when they make contact with water, sotry to hit it towards the edge so it falls off the platform and into the river.
Long weapons are good for this, souse the Long Stick if you still have it.
Once the final Construct is down, your equipment will be returned to you and you canleave through the back of the room to receive the Light of Blessing.
