How to Activate Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower

Learn how to activate the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Find the stolen terminal and restore the tower with this quick guide.

Alright, so you've made it all the way to the northeastern corner of Hyrule, specifically the Akkala region. You're looking for the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower, which is smack dab in the middle of the Akkala Highlands. It's a bit of a trek, so if you haven't already, try to snag the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower first – it'll help you cover some ground. Just a heads-up, there's a group of Black Bokoblins chilling to the west of the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower. Best not to stir them up if you can help it!

When you get to the tower, you'll find a guy named Sawson hanging around. Chat with him, and he'll spill the beans: some pesky Aerocluda swooped in and swiped the tower's terminal! Can't get the tower working without it, right? The good news is, this terminal-napping terror is just a regular Aerocluda, and it's currently doing lazy laps just east of the tower. Probably showing off its ill-gotten gains to Sawson.

Now, Link's a bit tougher than Sawson, so taking down this Aerocluda should be a breeze – probably just one arrow will do. This Aerocluda is dumb enough to stick around the scene of the crime, but smart enough to know you're a threat. If it spots you, it'll fly higher to make itself a harder target. Your best bet is to sneak around to the back of the tower and take a quick shot before it can gain altitude. If it does spot you, don't sweat it – just duck inside the tower, wait for it to lose track of you, and try again.

Once you shoot the Aerocluda down, it'll drop the stolen terminal. You could go tell Sawson, or even drag the terminal back to him, but honestly, he'll just ask you to do more work. Save yourself the hassle: just grab the terminal yourself and pop it back into the tower. Sawson will probably thank you for doing his job... again.

With the terminal back in place, you can finally use the tower to launch yourself up and get a good look at the surrounding area!
