The trial presented by Orochium Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is known as Courage to Fall.

1. From the starting point, go straight and use Ultrahand ability to open the locked gate.

2. Go to the left side of the door and defeat a construct enemy here. Use the Ascend ability on the pillar to the right (picture for reference) to reach the top.

3. Climb the stairs and crouch to go through a narrow hole in the wall.

4. In the next area, turn right and drop down using your glider to avoid the lasers.

5. You have successfully made it to the next area. There is a treasure chest near a construct enemy on the right side of the door.

6. Defeat the enemy and open the treasure chest to obtain 5x Arrows.

7. Use Ultrahand to open the next gate, just like the first one.

8. Don’t be afraid of lasers here. Hit any laser to activate the trap and drop down from the false floor.

9. Go forward and avoid the lasers in this area. Use the Ascend ability beneath the ledge to reach the second treasure chest of Orochium Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
