The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild throws Link at a multitude of Shrines, each testing his resourcefulness and his mastery of the Sheikah Slate’s many abilities. Amongst these trials lies the Shee Venath Shrine, a clever puzzle shrine located atop the Dueling Peaks.
This guide will equip you with the knowledge to conquer the “Twin Memories” challenge and claim your rightful reward – a Spirit Orb.
A Shrine Linked by Fate: Location and Entrance
The Shee Venath Shrine resides on the northern peak of the Dueling Peaks, a mountainous region in the Central Hyrule field. You can easily spot its familiar blue entrance nestled amongst the snow-capped peaks.
Reaching the shrine can be tackled from various directions. A straightforward, albeit slightly steep, climb is possible from the northern base of the peak. Alternatively, for the more daring adventurers, paragliding from the peak of Mount Gerudo or the Hebra Mountains offers a scenic approach.
Upon entering the shrine, you’ll be greeted by a plaque that reads: “The two Sheikah monks who watch over these peaks share a single memory. Solve the puzzle accordingly.” This cryptic message hints at the key mechanic you’ll need to utilize to conquer the shrine – the interconnectedness of the two Dueling Peak Shrines: Shee Venath and its counterpart, Shee Vaneer.
The Hall of Memory: A Trial of Spheres
Stepping into the main hall, you’ll find yourself in a room with a 5×5 grid of small bowl-shaped depressions on the floor. Five glowing spheres illuminate these bowls. There’s also a conspicuous elevator platform in the center.
This is where the significance of “Twin Memories” arises:
Take the Elevator Up: Use the elevator to ascend to the platform at the top of the room. This vantage point allows you to observe the layout of the spheres within the bowls on the floor below. Make a note of their positions!
A Shared Memory: Remember the inscription upon entering? The key to solving this shrine lies in the fact that the layout of the spheres in Shee Venath directly corresponds to the solution for its twin shrine, Shee Vaneer.
Here’s the Catch: You won’t find any spheres in Shee Venath’s bowls. Instead, you’ll need to travel to Shee Vaneer and manipulate the spheres there to match the layout you observed in Shee Venath.
Shee Vaneer: The Mirror Image
Shee Vaneer is located on the southern peak of the Dueling Peaks. The shrine itself is nearly identical to Shee Venath, with the exception of having movable spheres within the 5×5 grid on the floor.
Matching the Memory: Use the Sheikah Slate’s magnesis power to pick up and move the spheres in Shee Vaneer. Carefully arrange them to replicate the exact layout you observed in Shee Venath (the one you memorized from the platform).
Tip: It might be helpful to take a screenshot of the sphere layout in Shee Venath to ensure you replicate it perfectly in Shee Vaneer.
Trial Complete!: Once you’ve successfully matched the sphere layout in Shee Vaneer to the one you observed in Shee Venath, a satisfying click will sound, and the platform in the center of the room will activate.
Returning to Shee Venath: Claiming Your Reward
Head back to Shee Venath and take the elevator back up to the platform. You’ll now see that the spheres on the floor below have miraculously rearranged themselves, mirroring the layout you set in Shee Vaneer.
The final step is simple – walk over the glowing pedestal in the center of the room. The shrine will acknowledge your success, and you’ll be rewarded with a Spirit Orb.
Congratulations, adventurer! You’ve conquered the “Twin Memories” challenge and proven your mastery of the interconnected puzzle within the Shee Venath Shrine.
Additional Tips and Tricks
Exploration Pays Off: While solving the main puzzle grants you a Spirit Orb, there’s more to discover in the Shee Venath Shrine. Use your paragliding skills to explore the ledges around the peak. You might find a hidden chest containing a valuable weapon or armor piece.
Trial and Error: Don’t be discouraged if you don’t solve the puzzle perfectly on the first try. Feel free to experiment with moving the spheres in Shee Vaneer until you achieve the correct layout.
Environmental Puzzles: The Dueling Peaks region offers more than just Shrines. Keep your eyes peeled for environmental puzzles and hidden Koroks throughout the area.

Head to Shee Venath: Climb or paraglide to the northern peak and enter the shrine.
Solving the Puzzle in Shee Venath:
Locate the Matching Grid: You’ll find a similar 5×5 grid with empty hollows.
Replicate the Pattern: Using your memory or notes from Shee Vaneer, move the spheres in Shee Venath to exactly match the glowing pattern you saw earlier.
Congratulations! The path forward will be revealed, granting you access to a hidden chest and, of course, a Spirit Orb.
