Where is the "The Ceremonial Song" shrine quest located in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

The "The Ceremonial Song" shrine quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is located in the Zora's Domain region and is tied to the discovery of the Dagah Keek Shrine. This quest is one of the many shrine quests in the game that require players to solve environmental puzzles or follow specific instructions to unlock a hidden shrine. The quest begins when you speak to Laflat, a Zora woman found near the throne room in Zora's Domain. She will tell you about a ceremonial song that is used to reveal a hidden shrine, but the details are vague, leaving it up to you to figure out the steps.

To start the quest, you must first complete the main quest "Divine Beast Vah Ruta," as this quest is only available after the Zora's Domain storyline has progressed. Once you have completed the main quest, speak to Laflat, who will mention the ceremonial song and the need to perform it at a specific location. The key to solving this quest lies in understanding the clues provided and using the environment to your advantage.

The first step is to head to the location where the shrine is hidden. This is near the East Reservoir Lake, just east of Zora's Domain. You will notice a large stone platform with a circular pattern on the ground. This is where the ceremonial song must be performed. The song involves using a Zora weapon to strike the platform in a specific way. The clue given by Laflat mentions that the song requires "a melody of water," which hints at using a Zora weapon, as they are associated with water.

The next step is to obtain a Zora weapon. You can find Zora weapons in various locations around Zora's Domain, such as the Spear, Sword, or Shield. If you do not already have one, you can find a Zora Spear near the base of the waterfall leading up to Zora's Domain or purchase one from the Zora shop. Once you have a Zora weapon, return to the stone platform.

To perform the ceremonial song, you must strike the platform with the Zora weapon in a specific sequence. The correct sequence is to hit the platform three times in quick succession. This will cause the shrine to rise from the ground, revealing the Dagah Keek Shrine. If you do not strike the platform correctly, the shrine will not appear, so it is important to time your strikes accurately.

One common mistake players make is using the wrong type of weapon. Only Zora weapons will work for this quest, so using any other type of weapon will not trigger the shrine. Another mistake is not striking the platform quickly enough. The strikes must be done in rapid succession, so make sure to press the attack button three times quickly.

If you are having trouble with the timing, you can try using a Zora Spear, as its fast attack speed makes it easier to perform the required sequence. Additionally, you can save your game before attempting the sequence, so you can reload if you make a mistake.

Once the shrine is revealed, you can enter it and complete the trial inside. The Dagah Keek Shrine is a blessing shrine, meaning there is no puzzle or combat challenge inside. You will simply need to open the chest and speak to the monk to receive your Spirit Orb.

In summary, the "The Ceremonial Song" shrine quest requires you to use a Zora weapon to strike a stone platform in a specific sequence to reveal the Dagah Keek Shrine. Make sure to use a Zora weapon and strike the platform three times quickly. Save your game before attempting the sequence to avoid having to repeat the process. With these steps, you will successfully complete the quest and gain access to the shrine.
