It takes more effort than it usually would when you go out of your way to clear a few puzzles in Tears of the Kingdom. Sometimes you start thinking that the reward at the end just isn’t worth the effort anymore.
This may or may not have happened to you during your visit to the Jiukoum Shrine. If it did then welcome, grab a seat and we’ll show you the solutions you’re looking for in this guide. Solving the puzzles is as easy as riding the concrete monstrosity you’ll be building as you follow along!
Jiukoum Shrine Puzzle Solution
To get to the Jiukoum Shrine, you need to go to the area of Faron near the Popla Foothills. Get inside and you’ll shortly stumble upon three puzzles that requires you to use your Ultrahand ability (To obtain Ultrahand, you need to finish the Ukouh Shrine located on Great Sky Island). You can find the area by using these coordinates: (0867, -2280, 0141).
The first puzzle is simple, attach the two pieces of rock together and place it on top of the rails. Make sure the green silhouette hovers over the rails. This indicates clearly that no funny business will happen while you’re in the middle of sliding down.
The gap isn’t wide enough for you to fall into, plus it’s a straight line going down. When you’re at the other side, grab the platform that’s two square pieces longer by the next set of rails.
Attach it anywhere you like and use the newly created platform as a bridge. This gives you access to the chest on your left side that’s sitting on higher ground.
Go back down and grab the three platform pieces on your right. While using the second piece, rotate it and attach it to the side of the platform facing down. Do the same to the opposite side when using the third piece. You should have something that resembles a letter “U” by now.
The two extra pieces on the side prevent the hero’s story from ending abruptly. Is it structurally sound? No. Does it work well enough to get you to the last puzzle? Yes. Tell that to your local engineer next time you put something on rails (don’t).
This time the rails are going up. You now have one long platform to work with along with three shorter ones.Remember the “U” shape you did earlier? Now you have to make an “M” shape instead. It’s supposed to be a “W” but you’re setting it down on the rails anyway.
Now put the three fans along the edges of the platform. Slide it into the rails and give it a good whack to send you off towards the end.
And that’s how you solve the Jiukoum Shrine Puzzle in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Try the Ukouh Shrine next if you’re looking for more places to knock off your list!
