Out of 120 Shrines in Breath of the Wild, 42 are tied to Shrine Quests which often play out like extended puzzles. In most cases, these Shrines are completely out of sight and only appear whenever their Shrine Quest is completed, but there are some Shrine-guarding NPCs that will bar you from entering a Shrine until you satisfy them.
Located deep within the Gerudo Desert, the Misae Suma Shrine is being guarded by an exhausted Gerudo desperate for Noble Pursuit, which is a refreshing Gerudo drink. Before you enter Misae Suma Shrine, you will need to go back to Gerudo Town, get the best Noble Pursuit ever, and lead Pokki away from the Shrine. In this guide, we are going to go over exactly how to do this during The Perfect Drink Shrine Quest.
Updated May 2, 2023 by Quinton O'Connor: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is upon us at last. Players rushing through a replay of BOTW - or perhaps even touring Link's first open world adventure for the first time - will want to grab the perfect drink!
Speaking With Pokki
Before you can get Noble Pursuit, you need to find the Misae Suma Shrine and interact with Pokki. Misae Suma Shrine can be found in southeast Gerudo Desert.
The fastest way to get to Misae Suma Shrine is to glide towards it from the Wasteland Tower right by where Vah Naboris is stationed after completing the Divine Beast. You can check out the location of the shrine in the image above as well.
Keep in mind that because Pokki is leaning on the Sheikah Slate panel, you will need to manually travel to Misae Suma Shrine to finish the Shrine Quest properly; don’t expect to warp to this part of Gerudo Desert until after The Perfect Drink is finished. Pokki will mention the Noble Pursuit offhand, but is unable to move.
Now head to Gerudo Town and speak to Furosa inside The Noble Canteen – Gerudo Town’s local bar – to inquire about Noble Pursuit. While she does have the ingredients to make Noble Pursuit, Furosa needs fresh ice to actually make the drink.
Finding Ice For Furosa
In order to make Noble Pursuit for Pokki, Furosa will direct you north towards the Gerudo Icehouse. There, you can speak with Anche and grab a fresh block of ice to bring back to Furosa. Along the way to the Icehouse, you will pass through old Gerudo Ruins filled with enemies.
Make sure to kill any Lizalfos in the general vicinity since Link will need to physically carry the ice past enemies.
This portion of the Shrine Quest can only be completed during the day.
Overall, your goal is to bring ice back to Furosa without it melting. Because of this, you need to keep to the shade whenever possible while also avoiding any and all confrontation with enemies.
Getting the ice to the ruins isn’t particularly challenging; Link naturally walks faster than most enemies and there’s more than enough shade to hide from the sun in. If your ice does melt, you can return to the icehouse and grab another block.
Furosa will be waiting at the entrance of the ruins, where she’ll take the ice from you and bring it back to Gerudo Town herself. Now, you need to go back to Misae Suma Shrine and let Pokki know that her Noble Pursuit is ready. Just hearing the name of the drink is enough to cure her exhaustion and send her running back home to Gerudo Town.
Misae Suma Shrine
Now that Pokki’s run off in pursuit of Noble Pursuit, you can finally enter Misae Suma Shrine. Place the Sheikah Slate on the pedestal and unlock the Shrine for Fast Travel. Misae Suma Shrine features no Shrine puzzle, with The Perfect Drink quest fulfilling that role beforehand.
With Misae Suma Shrine and The Perfect Drink complete, you can cross another Shrine Quest off your list.
