Exploration in Legends of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom can be confusing at times. You can finish the game walking around the areas blindly, not knowing where you’ll get to. However, this isn’t really an efficient way to play the game.

Good thing, the game offers an option to unlock Skyview towers which can help unlock areas on your map to make your adventures better. One of the towers include the Thyphlo Ruins tower, which we’ll talk about in this guide!

How to Complete the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower

  1. Go to the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower.
  2. Start a conversation with Billson.
  3. Use the rocket launchers to launch yourself to the top of the tower.
  4. Remove the stones that are blocking the top of the tower.
  5. Interact with the device inside the tower and unlock new parts of the map.

Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower Detailed Walkthrough

For your very first step of solving the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower, you will need to go to the location marked in the minimap down below. For the exact location, you can use the coordinates (0357, 3104, 0174) to help you navigate.

Your second step will be walking into the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower and starting a conversation with the NPC named Billson inside it.

You will know that Billson is struggling with operating the tower. Your task will be finding out what is wrong and help solve the problem.

Now let’s get into the actual work. You will need to go to the right side of the tower and start climbing upwards.

After that, you will notice that there is a huge block of stone on the tower. Then, use your Ultrahand Ability to move the stone out of the way and move it downwards.

Since you can only move it for a short distance downwards and cannot directly place it on the ground, you will need to climb down to shorten the distance between you and the stone block. After that, keep using your Ultrahand Ability and move the stone piece onto the ground.

Once you’ve placed it onto the ground, walk right next to it. You will be able to see a small rocket lying beside the stone.

Then, use your Ultrahand Ability to move the rocket and place it on top of the rock and in the middle.

This is how it looks after you have attached the rocket onto the rock. Just precisely in the middle, make sure it’s standing and facing upwards, not lying on top of the stone.

Next, you will notice that there is also another rocket piece next to the piece you just placed. You will also want to use your Ultrahand Ability again to move the other rocket to the middle. Then place it next to the original rocket.

This is how it looks after the two rockets have been attached onto the stone. Then, you will need to use any kind of gear that has Zonaite Power and can charge your rockets. For example, you can use the Zonaite Spear to charge your rockets.

This weapon can be created by fusing Zonai Charges to your material. You can find These Zonai charges when you defeat enemies, so they aren’t that rare.

As a result, the rockets will start launching the stone upwards. Make sure you are positioned on it so you can go to the very top. Then, as it goes towards the sky, you will want to jump down on the highest stone that is blocking the top of the tower.

After that, climb down from the tower just a little bit so that you position yourself under it.

Then, use your Ultrahand Ability to lift the stone and move it away from the tower.

Since the range is not very long, you can choose to put it on one of the four corners of the tower.

After that, a cutscene will show up telling you that the problem with the tower has been solved.
