The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Domizuin Shrine is a test of your ingenuity and patience that rewards those who think outside the box – literally. Located in the far reaches of the Akkala Highlands, it's likely you won't see this shrine for a long time.

To reach it, you'll need to either glide onto or climb the Akkala Citadel Ruins - a daunting task. But for those who reach this shrine, you'll walk away with multiple prizes and a nice teleport location to use in preparation for the Gleeok lying in wait below...

How To Complete Domizuin Shrine: A Prone Pathway

Domizuin Shrine Location Map And Link Striking Beginning Switch In Tears of the Kingdom

Domizuin Shrine is one of the rare puzzles where there is no singular right answer.

There are multiple ways to solve this puzzle, and it's encouraged to try your hand at this on your own first with as many wacky ideas as you can come up with.

But if you're still stuck and seeking this guide for a solution, you're in luck; we have two solid options for you.

Solution One: The Rocket Skip

Link Skips Shrine With Rocket Shield As He Flies Over Box To The End In Tears of the Kingdom

The first and easiest solution for this puzzle requires a bit of setup before entering the shrine. So long as you're in possession of a rocket in your saved Zonite devices, you'll be able to pull this off.

Outside the shrine, attach a rocket to your shield. Enter and run past the orange switch - you won't need it.

Take out your shield in front of the wall to activate the rocket. This will send you shooting up where you can, upon hitting the ceiling, glide over to the end of the shrine with your paraglider.

The only drawback of this method is that you miss out on the chests within the box. If you'd like, you can step into the box to explore and grab them, step out of the box, and then do this method.

Solution Two: The Long Way

Link Faces Path To Treasure Chest Outside Of Domizuin Box Chamber In Tears of the Kingdom

As you enter the shrine, hit the orange switch to turn the box. Enter and run over to the tall pillar on the northeast side of the box. You can use Ascend to open the chest and gain x10 arrows.

Journey to the center to hit the switch in the middle of the box. Do this twice to open a path on the ground to a treasure chest off to the side. This contains a Zonai Charge.

Return to the box and hit the switch again to turn the box and make accessible the last chest in the room on the southeastern corner. It contains a Strong Zonaite Shield.

With this done, you can hit the center switch until you open a doorway back to the first outer switch. Don't leave the room but instead, use your bow to strike the outer switch from afar.

Now, you have a few options on how you'd like to leave this room. The two easiest options are:

  • Stand on one of the platforms on the wall with the shrine and strike the switch in the center with your arrows. Move around the platform you're standing on until you can look up at the ceiling and Ascend to the top of the box.
  • Stand in the center with the switch and strike it until the long platform is vertical in the northeastern corner with space at the bottom. Run over to the corner and use Ascend to the top of the box.

At the top of the box, you'll be able to finally reach the end of the shrine, claim your prize, and walk back out into the Akkala Citadel with another blessing on your belt.
