Zelda - Qukah Nata and A Song of Storms quest solution in Breath of the Wild

How to solve the Faron region trial.

Qukah Nata is one of the many Shrines located throughout Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and is accessed via the A Song of Storms Shrine Quest. The challenge inside, named the Qukah Nata's Blessing trial, is simply a reward for finding it, so you're bound to walk out a success.

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

Where to find Qukah Nata

The Qukah Nata shrine is located within the Faron region, specifically hidden within an odd-looking mound on the south side of a lake, to the east of Lakeside Stable. To get there, you'll need to traverse some very tricky cliffs in thunderstorm conditions.

We found the easiest way was to head to the west of the shrine location, across the waterfalls and lagoons, until the rainy weather subsided and we were able to scale the cliffs - the Climbing Gear and meals increasing stamina will be a big help!.

Once you're high enough, it's fairly simple to then head back around the north side of the small lakes until you can see the mound and hear Kass' signature music nearby.

Qukah Nata and A Song of Storms Quest solution

A Song of Storms requires you to do something fairly simple, but a little dangerous. First, talk to Kass nearby, who's just to the east of the odd mound where the Shrine's hidden.

He'll give you the quest, along with a riddle. The solution is to place anything that conduct's lightning (so anything metal) on the top of the mound in the centre 9if you're unsure, looking at your inventory will show items sparking a little if they're conductive.

Stand clear (or equip it and take the hit yourself if you're feeling a little masochistic…) and the mound will be blown up by the lightning strike. You'll then have access to the Shrine.
