The Kimayat Shrine (Proving Grounds: Smash) in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is located in the Eldin Canyon region with the exact coordinates of (2863, 3637, 0241). It is in the northeastern section of the map and north of Death Mountain. It is also not close enough to any Skyview Towers to launch from and glide over easily.

The Sibajitak Shrine is close enough to the west of it to fast travel there and use the paraglider to get there, or glide from the Sitsum Shrine on Death Mountain if the first option is not available and players have enough stamina upgrades.

The Kimayat Shrine is a Proving Grounds shrine that will test the general combat level of players and how to handle multiple enemies at once. It consists of one room with a pool of water in the middle and a raised platform above it. There will three Construct enemies with melee weapons on the ground floor, and three perched on the raised platform with bows.

Players will only start with a long stick, a wooden stick, and a bow with 10 arrows. If players are capable enough, it is best to take down the first enemy closest to the entrance and use Fuse on the Solider Construct Horns to the weapons to cause more damage.

Otherwise, make a direct path to the left side of the room where two spiked balls are sitting on another raised platform. Use Ascend to get on top, fuse the two spiky balls to the weapons, and easily take out the enemies on the ground floor.

Players can also use the raised platform on the left to get a better shot at the perched enemies in the middle of the room, though it is possible to run out of arrows. There are Ice Fruits around the room that players can attach to weapons, arrows, or simply throw into the water to make ice platforms. Then players can Ascend into the middle platform and defeat the rest.

The Kimayat Shrine will be completed once all the Constructs are defeated, so players can then open a chest containing a Captain IV Reaper weapon and claim the Light of Blessing.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available for the Nintendo Switch.
