Reach the Ochre Woods shrine: take a boat by the ducks
Use your boat on the water where the ducks are in Ochre Woods, then reach the island with the shrine. The questioner had already searched around the mole hill and confirmed that the boat answer solved their problem.

Follow the island route
- Have a boat available; the separate Dee boat guide covers obtaining one.
- In Ochre Woods, find the water with ducks and use the boat there.
- Reach the island and interact with its shrine; check your active Ancient Shrines progress.
Do not substitute the mountain or Nocturne shrine
The same thread also mentions a mountain shrine reached with Raise Earth, but the questioner identifies the island answer as the one they needed. The Nocturne Forest shrine is another location. For later salmon and Seventh-shrine progression, use the completion guide; this boat route is not a fix for every stalled shrine quest.
