Not every Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is easy to find. Some of them, like the Chichim Shrine in the are hidden from sight, making them difficult to find. This shrine, along with its “Ancient Prison Ruins” puzzle, is buried beneath the sand, making it harder to stumble across. Here’s how to find this Shrine and complete it.
How to reach the Chichim Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
To reach the Shrine, you must fall into a sand pit in the Gerudo Desert. There are multiple of these sand pits, but the one you are looking for is located just beneath the words Palu Wasteland on the map, indicated by a small circle. This is just inside the massive sandstorm in the Gerudo Desert, so you will lose map function when close to it. To avoid getting lost, try giving yourself a straight path to it from outside the storm.
Once you find the pit, jump in to find yourself in the Ancient Prison Ruins. In here, you will need to use Ultrahand to operate switches, as well as fight off Gibdos. Gibdos aren’t particularly tough, but you will need a weapon with some type of element–fire, ice, electricity–in order to really do damage to them.
