The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom is overflowing with shrines. Dozens of shrines are dotted throughout the map, from land-locked options like the Turakawak Shrine to some located high in the sky.
You can find some fascinating shrines and even more interesting unusual shrine quests all over Hyrule, regardless of whether you're on the ground or in the sky. If you find yourself in a mountainous mood, then heading to the northern elevated area of the map should present the opportunity to attempt the Sikukuu Shrine.
Where is Sikukuu Shrine?
- Coordinates: 0699, 2793, 0226
You'll find the Sikukuu Shrine in the Eldin Mountains on a rocky outcropping.
If you have access to the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower in the north, then you can launch yourself from there and paraglide slightly southeast to reach this shrine.
Alternatively, you can head east from the Pikida Stonegrave Skyview Tower if that's your only option, but it will be quite a trek.
Sikukuu Shrine Solution
From the title introduction to the massive gear in sight, as you step inside, it's no surprise that you'll be working with gears here.
Each room is fairly simple and requires textbook usage of your Ultrahand, Recall, and Ascend abilities to complete this one. Let's get into it.
Room One
As you enter the room, you'll spot a giant gear turning and a ball occasionally dropping onto the gear.
Below the gear to the right is a receptacle for a ball.
Unfortunately, the gear's direction sends the ball off the edge into the abyss.
Use Recall on the gear to reverse its direction and send the ball tumbling into the receptacle.
The ball will roll around in the receptacle for an annoyingly long time. When it falls, grab it with Ultrahand and place it in the center to speed things up.
Once you complete this, the gate will rise; enter the next room.
Room Two And Zonai Chest
Room two features a large, immobile gear beside a crank-turn device to its right.
Firstly, the shrine's hidden chest is easy to get, so turn the crank counter-clockwise so that when you use Recall, it will allow you to ride the gear down into the floor.
Turn the gear about three times to ensure it has enough spins to take you through a rotation.
Secondly, drop down once the gear rotates into the room and grab the chest sitting in the room.
Open the chest to receive a Strong Zonaite Longsword for your troubles.
Use Ascend to return to the room with the gear and the crank.
Next, turn the gear clockwise to carry you upward once you use Recall on it.
Once you ride the gear to the top, you can walk forward and approach the statue to claim your victory.
Sikukuu Shrine Rewards
If you took a few moments to grab the secret chest in this shrine, your total rewards will be:
- A Strong Zonaite Longsword
- A Light of Blessing
The sword will prove incredibly useful once you fuse it with a powerful item.
