There are 15 Skyview Towers in the Tears of the Kingdom that unlock visibility on the map of specific regions. Some of these towers are very complicated to reach and unlock. Some are rather simple, and you might just need the important pointers to figure out what you need to do.
One of them is the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. It requires you helping a confused NPC who will in return help you get the tower working.
Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower Guide
The tower is located in the southern area of the Hyrule map, to the north from the Gerudo Desert and Faron Grasslands. The tower’s coordinate is (-2432, -2178, 0307). It can be easily reached on foot from the elevator platform with metal crates. You can use Ultrahand to remove them to let the weight pull you up to a higher floor.
This elevator is the main part of the puzzle and you’ll meet an NPC called Sawson who’ll tell you that they’re unable to repair the tower because they can’t get the elevator to work. Now you need to make your way to the top – on foot. Walk around the surface of the cliff and go through the three Lizalfos on the way.
When you’re on top, you’ll be able to see several construction materials lying around. Use your Ultrahand again and take several crates and attach them to the other hook. You don’t need to create a floor for the weight. Also, you can try using bigger materials, but they might crash onto the NPC due to the size and the game will ask you to retry. The crates will go down and you’ll see Sawson going up on the other side.
Talk to the man and he’ll fix the tower and give you tips about preparing to enter the desert. You’ll be able to get to the device now and explore the area better with the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower unlocked!
