Alright, let's get this Mount Lanayru Tower activated! It's a bit of a trek, but totally doable. Think of it as a scenic drive, but with more running and less traffic.

Where to find it:

So, this tower is way out in the southeastern part of the map. You've got a couple of options to get close. You can follow the roads from Central Hyrule all the way to Hateno Village, which is a good spot to set up before making your final push. Or, if you've already activated the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower, you can launch from there and glide northeast. It'll get you pretty close to Hateno Village too. Either way, Hateno Village is a solid base camp, especially if you've also found the Zanmik Shrine overlooking it to the southwest.

The Journey Up:

Once you're in Hateno Village, you'll want to head northeast towards Mount Lanayru. Don't let the name scare you too much; there's not a ton of intense climbing involved. The slopes are usually pretty gentle, so you can often just run up them. You might need to do a few short climbs here and there to avoid enemies or take a more direct route, but the terrain itself isn't the main challenge. Honestly, the enemies you encounter might end up influencing your path more than the mountain itself!

The slopes of Mount Lanayru actually spiral upwards, kind of like a corkscrew. If you follow this path, it'll eventually lead you to the Shrine of Wisdom, which is just southeast of the tower you're looking for.

Activating the Tower:

Here's the good news: the hardest part is just getting there. Once you finally reach the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower, activating it is a breeze. Just head inside, interact with the terminal to get it up and running, and then hop on the launch pad. You'll shoot up into the sky, and you can then survey the entire region, filling in that part of your map!
