The world of Palia is filled with unique locales, warm Villagers, and plenty of opportunities to discover the secrets and lore stored away in Kilima Village and Bahari Bay. As Kilima Village is the starting location of everyone’s journey, there’s plenty to be done and things to find, including Dragon Incense Shrines.

These shrines are scattered throughout this region as part of a hidden quest, and once all is discovered, the Dragon will greatly reward players at the end of their journey. If players are looking to follow in the ways of the Dragon, here’s where to find all the Dragon Incense Shrines to light incense in this hidden quest for Palia.

How To Solve The Dragon Incense Shrine Puzzle In Palia?

If you find a lone Dragon Shrine in Kilima Village, it is part of a hidden quest where players can find more of these shrines scattered across the village. The Dragon Incense Shrine can be found inside Chayne’s home en route to Phoenix Falls, where they can interact with this shrine by lighting the incense.

There are three more Dragon Incense Shrines to be found, and they require some stamina by sprinting to each location. Luckily for players, we’ve done the sprinting to find the remaining Dragon Incense Shrines, which are located in these areas:

  • Dragon Incense Shrine #1: The first shrine is found inside Chayne’s home along the pathway to Phoenix Falls
  • Dragon Incense Shrine #2: Locate the Apothecary and enter it to find the next Dragon Incense Shrine on the right-hand side
  • Dragon Incense Shrine #3: Head to Gillyfin Cove towards the end of the beach, where it can be found resting near some rocks
  • Dragon Incense Shrine #4: Travel to Maji’s Hollow and look for a gazebo on the left-hand side to find the last Dragon Incense Shrine

Don’t forget to interact with each Dragon Incense Shrine to light incense, as it won’t trigger every shrine found. Conclude this hidden quest by heading to the center near the Dragon Statue, where they can find a Treasure Chest.

Opening the chest will award players with the Foggy Majiri Tile Floor and a Treasure Chest to add to their collection. Additionally, they can interact with the Dragon Statue to raise their maximum Focus Bar for 100 Renown, for which they spend around 4,000 Renown to max it out.

As a side note, a handful of copper nodes are found behind Chayne’s home, which can be mined for a bevy of resources. This includes Stones, Silver Ores, Copper Ores, and most importantly, Citrine and Jasper Starstones, which can be gifted to various Villagers in town.

Palia is currently available via the Epic Games Store and in Open Beta for PC, as players can install the game launcher detailed in this guide. The game is now available to download for Nintendo Switch as of 14th December 2023.
