The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild offers players expansive world exploration, with the Trial of the Labyrinth standing out as one of its most intriguing side challenges. Located on Lomei Labyrinth Island in the far northeastern corner of the Akkala Sea, this complex maze tests both navigation skills and combat readiness. Successfully reaching the center rewards players with a unique shrine, valuable treasures, and powerful combat gear.
Reaching Lomei Labyrinth Island
Getting to the island requires careful stamina planning or efficient travel techniques. Players can glide over from the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab cliffs using the wind currents above the water to cover large distances. Bringing stamina-restoring dishes ensures Link reaches the outer walls safely without falling into the ocean.
Upon landing, players will notice active Guardians patrolling the outer perimeters and upper walls. Preparing ancient arrows or high-damage weapons will help clear these threats before venturing deeper. Taking down patrolling foes allows for smoother navigation through the winding stone corridors.
Navigating the Maze to Tu Ka'loh Shrine
While the maze appears daunting, observing the layout from elevated walls reveals clear paths toward the central chamber. Players can follow the corridors around the perimeter or drop down near the main entrance torches to access the interior ladders. Destroying Malice eyes along the way clears blocked passageways that lead straight to the shrine entrance.
Reaching the center activates the Tu Ka'loh Shrine, completing the official Shrine Quest. Inside, players receive Tu Ka'loh's Blessing along with a chest containing the Barbarian Helm. This headpiece provides a substantial boost to Link's attack power, making the labyrinth journey well worth the effort.
Unlocking Hidden Treasures and DLC Items
Completing the shrine is only part of the reward available on Lomei Labyrinth Island. Dropping into the large air vent directly in front of the shrine reveals a massive underground chamber. This lower area contains a chest with a Diamond Circlet, though opening it wakes up multiple decayed Guardians nearby.
Players who own the expansion pass can also find the Travel Medallion hidden along the southern wall of this basement. This key item permits players to set a custom fast-travel point anywhere on the map. Combining the Barbarian Helm, rare gems, and unique travel utility makes this trial a crucial stop for any completionist.
