Jochi-iu Shrine Walkthrough
As soon as you enter Jochi-Iu shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you will be presented with the Courage to Pluck trial. This trial aims to solve a puzzle by removing metal blocks from a structure without making it crumble.
1. This is like removing Dominoes from a tile-based game. First, remove the horizontal metal tile closest to you (second from bottom).
2. Place this tile along the wall in an inclined position. Climb it to find a treasure chest. Open the treasure chest to obtain a Zonaite Bow with 30 damage.
3. Remove the second metal tile below the top squared opening in the structure. This one is to the structure’s left and marked on the picture. Turn right to find a yellow electric rod.
4. Place both tiles in a way that completes the circuit. This can be done by placing one tile near the yellow lamp in a straight line and the other at 90 degrees to the first.
5. This will start a lift in the area. Use Recall on the lift to turn it back and climb it. Stop the Recall ability, and the lift will take you near the structure.
6. Use the Ultrahand ability to remove the metal sphere from the top of it.
7. Keep the ball handy until you reach back and drop it inside the receptacle to open the door to the altar room.
Before you go to the altar room, there is another treasure chest that you can open to get a Large Zonaite. Remove the tile to the left opposite the one you removed as the first. A treasure chest will drop, which you can catch and bring to yourself using the Ultrahand ability.
8. Now, enter the altar room and interact with the Statues of Rauru and Sonia to collect a Light of Blessing and complete A Courage to Pluck trial.
