I discovered the Golden Summit Shrine atop a hill blocked by broken bridges. After a fatal miscalculation led to a checkpoint restart, I utilized risky cliffside paths to bypass the gaps, collected a beautiful flower, and reached the shrine on top of the hill.
When I was exploring the island around, I noticed a question mark on the map. And after reaching the location, I noticed it was a shrine named Golden Summit Shrine, on top of a hill.
I decided to climb up on that hill and get to the shrine. But I found the bridges were broken, so I had to look for alternative ways.
I had to get through a hole and then tight space, and then I reached the other side of the broken bridge. And from there I noticed my horse was still waiting for me on the other side,.
I moved ahead and I found another bridge that was broken, where I mistakenly jumped and died, missing the opposite ledge completely when the camera tracked my sudden fall into the canyon.
At the restart, I looked for another alternative way, and it looked like there was a way, but it was risky because I had to try some risky jumps. And I noticed there was a cool place at a far that I would probably check later.
Then I reached this edge of an adjacent cliff where I found a beautiful flower that I collected for later use, gently picking the bright petals blooming isolated on the stone.
I had to pass more risky paths to get to the other side of the second broken bridge, from where I could see both bridges that I couldn't walk on. But I was actually on the other sides of both of them.
And yeah, I reached close to the shrine when there was no obstacles ahead. But I didn't want to pay respect to the shrine, which was an in-game option.
I just climbed up on top of that shrine house from where I could see the yellow bird flying around. And then I just casually left the place and ended the exploration, dropping back down to the lower ground to plan my next destination.
