Location of Nouda Shrine

Nouda Shrine occurs in the region of the Hebra Mountains. Since it’s cold there, you need some spicy dishes or elixirs or, even better, the Snowquill armor set.

Its exact location is (-2319, 2201, 0173). The shrine is a little west-southwest of Snowfield Stable (and the Orochium Shrine). The Pikida Stonegrove Skyview Tower is just north of the shrine.

The Nouda Shrine is inside Kopeeki Drifts Cave. Look for the large box canyon west of Snowfield Stable. The cave is on the south wall – there should be one there Blupee there to guide you

In the cave you will find a large pond with ice-cold water – and on the other side is the shrine.

Take the first right and go down a narrow tunnel to find one icy next to a much smaller pond. When the Ice Like spots you, it will start breathing its frost breath, forming a pile of ice squares on the pond. Collect these and carry them back to the larger room.

Use the ice squares to cross the water – you can jump with Ultrahand and just two squares, build an airboat if you have the Zonai devices, or just build a really long bridge (it takes about 12 squares to do that to span water).

2. Once you grab the bow, look into the arena and slightly to the right. Take out the construct there on the platform and go around the platform (counterclockwise to avoid being spotted) to find a ladder. Climb up and grab this fire fruit.

4. Turn it on and place it next to the fan on the left to create an updraft, or charge the battery of a portable electrocution device there. Or you can just fuse it with a weapon to make a shock bat.
