Simosiwak Shrine: ‘Proving Grounds: Lights Out’
Proving Grounds are a type of shrine that remove all of your items and equipment when you enter. You have to defeat all the enemies in the shrine using only the weapons, materials, and Zonai devices that are provided. They are combat and survival challenges.
Shrine Location: Bravery Island
You activate the Simosiwak Shrine by speaking to the Steward Construct at the lowest level of Bravery Island — a group of sky islands above the Great Hyrule Forest. The Steward Construct will teleport you to the top of the chain of sky islands and challenge you to skydive through a series of rings. Complete the challenge to activate the shrine.
General Strategies
“Proving Grounds: Lights Out” is a combat challenge that takes place in an arena with very little light. You are provided a Wooden Stick and two Light Shields (shields with Zonai Lights attached).
Use the Light Shields to light your way forward, but do not overuse them — they will break before long. There are three enemies to defeat: two Soldier Constructs and one Captain Soldier Construct. Carefully walk around and take out the two Soldier Constructs first. Be sure to pick up their weapons and horns to Fuse better weapons.
In the back of the room, you can find Flame Emitters to use as weapons. The Flame Emitters will make the Captain Soldier Construct easier to defeat. Time your attacks to keep the Construct on fire as much as possible.
Your reward for defeating the enemies is a Bright Elixir, which is found in a treasure chest before the end of the shrine.
