Learn how to activate the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. This guide covers navigating enemies and reaching the terminal.
Hey there! So, you're looking to get that Hyrule Field Skyview Tower up and running, huh? It's a bit of a tricky one because it's right in the middle of a Moblin and Bokoblin fort. But don't worry, we can totally sneak our way in. It's located southwest of Lookout Landing, just a hop, skip, and a jump southwest of the Mayachin Shrine. I'd recommend activating that shrine first, just in case you need a quick escape route!
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, head towards the tower. You'll see a bridge leading up to it on the eastern side of the hill. Now, this bridge is crawling with enemies, and there's also a nasty spiked ball trap that one of the Bokoblins loves to trigger.
- 2Instead of going straight over the bridge, try sneaking *under* it. Keep an eye out for enemies on the spiral staircase, and try to avoid them.
- 3Once you're under the bridge, you'll see a cliff face. Climb up this cliff right below the bridge. You need to get high enough to use your Ascend ability.
- 4Use Ascend to zip straight up through the bridge. Before you fully pop out, take a peek around. You'll see a Bokoblin guarding a gate that holds back that spiked ball.
- 5Here's the crucial part: as soon as the Bokoblin smashes the gate and sends the spiked ball rolling, quickly jump over the spiked palisade to your left. You'll find yourself in a safe spot between the rolling spikes and a wooden wall. The enemies won't follow you here.
- 6Now, just chill for a bit. Move slightly to the left of the bridge and wait. The Bokoblins will eventually lose track of you and go back to their business.
- 7Once they've calmed down, sneak west and northwest, staying between the spikes and the wall until you see the tower. You should be in the clear now. A few Bokoblins might get a little alert as you make a dash for the tower, but if you're quick, you can slip inside before they fully notice you.
- 8Open the door, interact with the terminal to activate the tower, and then step onto the launch platform. Boom! You've surveyed the area and completed the tower!
Tips
- The Mayachin Shrine nearby is super useful as a fast travel point if things get hairy.
- You don't actually need to fight all the enemies. Sneaking is totally the way to go here.
- Be quick when the spiked ball is released! That's your cue to get into the safe zone.
- Don't dawdle once you're near the tower; make a quick dash for the entrance.
