When you arrive at the Snow Drift Spring Shrine, you will see a locked door amid the hot springs in the area. The locked door requires you to complete a set of puzzles in the same location to unlock it. The solution for each puzzle hides in plain sight; you must light up a specific fox statue altar to solve the puzzle. Here is a complete guide to solving the Snow Drift spring puzzle in Ghost of Yotei.
How To Enter The Snow Drift Springs Shrine In Ghost of Yotei
You unlock the entrance to the Snow Drift Springs Shrine by lighting up the correct 3 fox statue altars among those present at the site. The Snow Drift Springs Shrine is located in the Crimson Forest, west of Sakuru Woods at Teshio Ridge.
Here you will find three sets of three Nine-Tails fox statue altars. While all three altars might look alike, the fox on the top of them will be in a different position. If you look behind the altars, you will find a lone fox statue. You must light up the specific altar that has the same fox statue position as the one in the pond.
First Set
The first fox altar set is located to the left of the locked door in the area. Grab the torch and light up the left-most altar, as the fox statue on the altar matches the fox statue behind it, in the middle of the pond.
Second Set
Now turn around, and on your left, you will find the second set. Again, the same rule follows: look at the pond at the back of the altars, the fox statue will match the fox statue altar on the extreme right. Light the altar to finish this set.
Third Set
From the second set, turn around and head up to the climbable wall to get to the upper region. Here, light up the fox statue altar in the middle of the set to finish it.
After completing the third one, make your way to the locked door next to the first set. The space underneath the door will now be open, so crawl through the narrow space to get inside. The route here is fairly linear and has some platforming sections. Just follow the linear route, keep heading straight, and you will eventually arrive at the Snow Drift Springs Hideout. The objective will get updated to kill Saito’s soldiers and liberate the area.
