How To Beat The Keo Ruug Shrine

Okay, let's talk Keo Ruug Shrine. We've all been there. Staring blankly. Wondering if we accidentally wandered into a physics exam.

But fear not! I'm here to offer some... unconventional wisdom. You might not see it on any walkthrough. Prepare yourself.

The Ball and Chain Blues

First off, that giant metal ball? Yeah, that thing. Most guides will tell you to carefully swing it. Time your hits! Be precise!

Nah. Who has time for that? I'm here to tell you a secret: bombs.

Bomb It 'Til You Make It

Forget the physics lesson. Just slap a bomb on that bad boy. Then another. Detonate! Watch the chaos unfold.

I know, I know. Some people might call it inelegant. They'll say you're "wasting resources." But are you really wasting resources if you're also saving your sanity? I think not.

Seriously, bombing that thing is the most fun you'll have all day. And it works. Every. Single. Time.

The Magnetic Mayhem

Next up: Those magnetic platforms. Supposedly, you need to use Magnesis to carefully position them. For perfect jumps. Yawn.

My advice? Embrace the chaos! Slap those platforms together any which way. Create a floating, haphazard staircase to victory.

Does it look pretty? Absolutely not. Does it get you across? You bet your sweet Hylian butt it does.

Unleash Your Inner Magneto (Sort Of)

Don't be afraid to get creative. Stack 'em! Spin 'em! Make them into a bizarre magnetic mobile. Who cares?

The point is to get across. And frankly, the more ridiculous the method, the more satisfying the win.

Plus, you'll get a good laugh out of Link's questionable parkour skills as he attempts to navigate your Frankensteinian creation.

The Final Countdown (of Sanity)

Okay, you've bombed the ball. You've conquered the magnetic monstrosities. Now it's time for the final puzzle. Probably.

Honestly, by this point, I'm usually so mentally drained that I just throw everything I have at the wall and hope something sticks.

Which, surprisingly, works more often than you'd think.

Just... Try Stuff

Shoot arrows! Stasis rocks! Use Cryonis to make icy platforms! Whatever comes to mind, just do it.

There's a good chance you'll accidentally stumble upon the solution. Or, at the very least, you'll create some hilarious glitches.

Hey, even if you don't solve it "correctly," who's going to judge you? It's a single-player game! Embrace the absurdity!

My Hot Take: There Is No "Right" Way

Look, here's the thing: Breath of the Wild is all about freedom. And that includes the freedom to completely cheese your way through shrines.

So, the next time you find yourself struggling with Keo Ruug, remember my words. Bomb it. Stack it. Wing it.

And most importantly, have fun. Because at the end of the day, that's what gaming is all about. Even if it means infuriating the physics engine.

Go forth, my friends, and conquer those shrines... in the most ridiculous way possible.
