Need help with the Timawak Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Follow our step-by-step guide to solve its puzzles and claim your Blessing of Light.
Alright, let's get you through the Timawak Shrine! This one's in the Eldin region, specifically in Eldin Canyon, just north of Goronbi Lake. Keep an eye out, as it's a bit higher up from the ground.
Walkthrough
- 1When you first enter, you'll see some rock platforms dropping from a lava waterfall. Instead of immediately using your abilities, you can actually just time your jumps. Wait for the platforms to almost form a bridge, then hop across them to reach the next area safely.
- 2Before you move on, there's a Construct waiting for you. It's best to take it out now so it doesn't bother you later.
- 3Now, for the next puzzle, you'll need your abilities. You'll see incoming platforms – use Recall on one of them, hop on, and ride it to the middle section.
- 4If you want the chest on the right, grab a couple of platforms. Place one on and off where you're standing, and then position another one in front of it. This should create a small bridge you can walk across to grab a shield. If you can't find a second large platform, a smaller one will do, and you can use Ultrahand to grab the chest from a distance.
- 5To get to the next part, you'll need to do a bit of backtracking. Use Ultrahand to pick up the ball in the center of the room. At the same time, get onto a platform heading back towards the previous section. When it passes the middle area, jump on it. Don't worry if you drop the ball in the lava; it won't be damaged, and you can grab it again when you reach your destination.
- 6Once you're back, grab the ball and place it in the bowl on the left side. This will open the next door.
- 7In this next room, there's a neat trick to make things easier. Activate the Fan on your right and hop on it to fly up to the platform with the hydrants. Grab one of the hydrants and bring it back down. Angle it towards the lava and use it to create a platform.
- 8Take this hydrant platform to safety and attach the Fan to its back. Then, just activate the Fan, and it'll carry you over to the other side safely.
- 9You'll find the Blessing of Light here, completing the shrine!
Tips
- Be careful with your jumps on the first set of platforms; falling into the lava means a hot bath and a restart.
- Don't forget to grab the chest for a shield – it's worth the extra effort!
- If you lose the ball in the lava, just go back for it. It's not a big deal.
- Blessing of Light
