Zelda - Muwo Jeem solution in Breath of the Wild

How to find and beat the Faron Region trial.

Muwo Jeem is one of the many Shrines located throughout Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The challenge inside, named the A Modest Test of Strength trial, is a combat trial that has you take on a Guardian Scout III in combat. Defeat it, and you'll walk out a victor.

If you need help finding and solving other Shrines, our Shrine location maps page can help, while our Zelda: Breath of the Wild walkthrough and guide covers other aspects of the game.

Where to find Muwo Jeem

The Muwo Jeem shrine is located within the Faron region, specifically in the easternmost point of a cape jutting out to sea. To get there, head east from Faron Tower, or due south from Hateno Village.

The shrine is right at the top of a ramped grassy hill that juts out eastwards to the sea, and is also a point from which you can glide down to the Chaas Qeta Shrine.

There's no puzzle to solve here in order to access the shrine, so simply dive in when you're ready.
