Waking of Friday, September 21, 2018 ~ 2
When I came out of the South Lomei
Labyrinth, I skirted the hillsides all around once more for good measure,
paraglided over the Champion’s Gate corridor, and headed north, continuing to
comb the foothills between the highlands and the desert. More Koroks, more
Violets.... and there were so many pillars to investigate.... surely there had to be a Korok on top of one
of ‘em....
I stood sightseeing from the top of
one of these pillars when.... PIANO. There was the Piano, and there was the
laser, and a Guardian was after me, and I hopped off quick! Better to stay in
motion—
I sailed wide as the bolts shot
through the air, until I could reach the ground and have it out, and kill the thing.
When it was dead I looked up, saw
how many pillars I had passed and left unsearched.... and decided to kiss that
swath of land goodbye for the present—I was busy. Those Colossi were just ahead....
I continued north to the Land of
the Goddesses—those gigantic statues so enormous they showed up on my topo—they
must have been the legendary Seven Heroines....
I jogged over the sand to the break
in their imposing circle.
The East Gerudo Ruins these were called.
Oh there had to be Koroks in here....
(And there were.)
It was one of the cleverer puzzles
I had yet encountered, and it took a little bit of searching to riddle it out!
At each Heroine’s foot was a long
extension of stone with a hollow at the end, near the center of the circle. A
few metal orbs lay scattered about the area, each emblazoned with a mysterious
symbol....
I found that one of the statues had a symbol corresponding to one of the orbs,
carved into its foot. But most of the other statues didn’t even have any symbols.
But ah, they did, but theirs
were carved into different places!
Inward from the outside, the
Heroines bore symbols carved upon the Foot, the Breast, and the Hilt, while the
central Heroine’s symbol was carved upon her Crown. And after an awful lot of
climbing, I found out what each Heroine’s symbol was—clockwise from the break,
I called them Yang, KOA, Donut,
Twodots, Swipe, Flame, and Pause.
As it turned out there were seven
of the corresponding metal orbs hidden all over the construct—some of them high
up on the Heroine statues themselves! It was an ordeal and a half, full of a lot of Magnesing, to find them all and
get them down to the sandy sink in the center. And I got quite good at scaling
the large stone statues in the meanwhile, right up to the tops of their heads—Pardon
me, Ladies.
!
I wonder if the Eighth Heroine has
a symbol....
Oh now I must go check.
When I finally, finally aligned all the orbs in the
ground-level hollows of their corresponding Heroines, WHAT SHOULD COME UP IN
THE CENTER OF THE CONSTRUCT but.... the Korsh
O’hu Shrine.
And it was a Blessing Shrine as
well.
That was four Spirit Orbs.
Guessed it was time to pray again.
