Learn how to reach and activate the Gerudo Highlands Skyview Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Includes tips for cold resistance and navigating the treacherous terrain.
Walkthrough
- 1Getting to the Tower: The Gerudo Highlands are extremely cold, requiring at least two levels of cold resistance. The area is also populated by strong monsters and features challenging climbs.
- 2Route 1: Head northwest from Mayatat Shrine. Use Ascend and climb, being mindful of enemies and the terrain.
- 3Route 2: Travel north, then west from Tsutsu-um Shrine. Follow the mountains northwest to the Tamio River ravine. Climb gentle slopes between Satorsa Snowfield and Laparoh Mesa. Look for sky stones to use with Recall to ascend and glide towards the tower.
- 4Finding the Cave: Once near the tower, look for a tent northeast of it. Inside, you'll find a note mentioning Meadela's Mantel Cave, located northwest of the tent.
- 5Navigating Meadela's Mantel Cave: Enter the cave and proceed until you find building supplies and a river.
- 6Reaching the Wooden Roof: To use Ascend, you need dry feet. The ascent point is over water. Gather wooden platforms, assemble them into a ramp, and ride down the river. You will go over a waterfall; glide to land on dry ground to the right.
- 7Ascending the Tower: Find support beams over the river. Most of the ceiling is stone, but there's a wooden section you need to ascend through. If no wood is stuck near the beams, use your assembled raft to fetch wood from the water and fashion a bridge. Place a platform under the wooden roof and use Ascend to enter the tower's interior.
- 8Activating the Tower: Once inside, activate the terminal to complete the tower and launch yourself into the sky.
