Marari-In Shrine Location In Tears of the Kingdom
Players will be able to find the Marari-In Shrine inTears of the Kingdomin the southeastern corner of the map. It is located within the aptly named Eventide Island Cave on Eventide Island around the coordinates 4632, -3712, 0018.
However, if players attempt to visit the coordinates prior to completing the “Seeking the Pirate Hideout” side quest, they will find it locked behind an unbreakable gate made of wood.
How To Begin Seeking The Pirate Hideout
To begin the side quest, players will need to venture to the northwestern shore of Eventide Island and speak toMonster-Control Crewmember Sesami. He can be found on the beach at the coordinates 4515, -3500, 0001 where he has set up a small campsite.
To reach Eventide Island, players should head toward the southeastern edge of the main continent by using either theRabella Wetlands Skyview Toweror theSifumim Shrinenear Lurelin Village to expedite the journey.
Players have the option reach Eventide Island by either gliding from the top of Cape Cales or by sailing across the ocean from any of the nearby beaches. As always, players are also able tobuild any sort of flying vehicleto fly across the water if they have the necessary materials.
For those choosing to sail, Palmorae Beach and Soka Point have several Zonai Devices, boards, and logs scattered along their shores. There are more than enough materials available for players to reach the island in this way.
As they near the shore of Eventide Island, players should keep an eye out for Sesami’s bright red tent near theEventide Island Chasm.
By speaking to Sesami, players can learn about his mission on the island and begin work on the “Seeking the Pirate Hideout” side quest.
Seeking The Pirate Hideout Walkthrough
During the discussion, Sesami will share that he is on a scouting mission to locate the hideout of the pirates that attacked Lurelin Village.
However, the three monster strongholds on the island make it difficult for him to safely explore the island. Though he doesn’t ask directly, it will be up to Link to clear out the monsters.
Players will find the strongholds roughly around the three corners of the island: Toronbo Beach North, Koholit Rock, and Toronbo Beach South. Each one holds a group of around five or six monsters for Link to defeat, with some monsters scaling to the player’s current level in the world.
Monster Forces - Toronbo Beach North
The closest stronghold to Sesami’s campsite is a tall wooden tower near Toronbo Beach North. Players will need to scale the tower and take out the Bokoblins perched above.
The simplest means of climbing the tower is to use Ascend to reach each of the platforms. Players should be advised that if one of the Bokoblins is knocked off the tower, they may still need to finish the job on the ground.
At the top of the tower, players can find a chest containingten Bomb Flowersto aid in their battle against the monster forces. There is also a powerful Bokoblin wielding an ice weapon that has the potential to freeze Link in his tracks.
Monster Forces - Koholit Rock
The next stronghold can be found outside a cave on top of Koholit Rock. It contains aparty of Bokoblinsand one Lizalfos.
To make the trip up the rock easier, players can wander toward the eastern side of the island to the coordinates 4674, -3643, 0005.
There they can find a collection of Zonai Devices including two springs that can be attached to one another and launch Link all the way to the top of the cliff.
Once at the top, players are able to sneak up on the encampment or jump straight into battle. Players should watch out for the strong Lizalfos and its electric spear.
At the back of the cave, there is a chest containing a SoaringBoomerangas well as a hoard of Zonai Devices players can use to fight the monster forces or aid their travel to the final stronghold.
Monster Forces - Toronbo Beach South
The third stronghold is a fort atop a small rocky hill at the south end of Toronbo Beach. Players are able to enter the fort from a path on the ground or by dropping in from the sky.
The Zonai Devices available at the Koholit Rock stronghold allow the player to build a number of flying vehicles includingthe popular hover bike. Using these tools, Link can get the drop on the monster forces by attacking from above.
This stronghold features mostly Bokoblins and one powerful Moblin that wields a fire blade.
If players take the land route, they should be on the lookout for a Bokoblin operatinga spike ball trapat the top of the hill.
Before they leave, players can collect ten arrows from a small chest on the upper level of the fort.

Eventide Island Cave
Once all three strongholds have been cleared of monsters, players will want to return to the campsite and speak with Sesami.
Sesami will be shocked and impressed that Link was able to take out all the monster forces. In addition, he adds that he had just spotted the pirates' ship sailing behind the island before it disappeared.
Sesami believes the pirates' hideout must be hidden somewhere on the back side of the island. Players should make their way around the side of the island to find the entrance to the Eventide Island Cave: they can use a vehicle to fly or sail into the cave, or they can return to the top of Koholit Rock and glide down and around into the cave.
As players approach the mouth of the cave, they will find the pirates' large ship docked in a hidden cave base and a crew of monsters ready to fight.
For players that wish to climb directly onto the ship to fight, they are able to stand on the large fish skull at the bow and use Ascend to reach the deck.
This final set of monster forces is made up of several Bokoblins and an immense Boss Bokoblin as its leader that will scale up in difficulty to the player’s level.
While fighting, players should be wary of the several Bokoblin archers surrounding the ship in addition to the one hiding in the crow’s nest.
Although the wooden gate is raised once the ship docks in the cave, players will be able to more easily reach the alcove containing the Marari-In Shrine once all monsters have been eliminated.
The mouth of the alcove is surrounded by stone spikes to prevent climbing and the overhang of the cave wall makes gliding in almost impossible. Instead, players will want to use the boards located on the stern of the ship nearby.
Using Ultrahand, players can create a bridge to safely cross over the spikes to the shrine.
Inside the Marari-In Shrine, players will receive Rauru’s Blessing, rewarding them with a well-earnedLight of Blessingfor no additional challenge.
Players can open the chest within the Marari-In Shrine toreceive a ruby; they can also return to the pirates' treasure hoard surrounding the shrine to claim aTopazand a silver rupee from the chests found there.
Before leaving the cave, players can find a small tunnel at the bottom of the same wall as the shrine’s alcove tofind a Bubbulfroghiding at the end.
Returning to the campsite and speaking with Sesami will bring “Seeking the Pirate Hideout” to a conclusion, inspiring and rekindling Sesami’s courage as member of the Monster-Control Crew.
As thanks for Link’s help in clearing both the island’s strongholds and the pirates' hideout, Sesami will reward him with a rareBlue-Maned Lynel Saber Horn.
