Detailed Walkthrough for Tears of the Kingdom: Turakamik Shrine

First thing to do if you want to complete the Turakamik Shrine is to be able to get to it first. You need to go to the location marked in the map down below. The precise location is -2663, -2235, 0067.

Once you’ve interacted with the Shrine, it will teleport you to the inside of it. You can see the image to know how it looks once you’ve gone inside.

Keep walking forward until you see the two orbs. You will notice that one of them is powered and the other isn’t. The goal is to attach the two of the orbs so that it powers the construction located to the right of it. In order to do this, use your Ultrahand Ability. To unlock the Ultrahand ability, you must complete the Ukouh Shrine on Great Sky Island.

Now that you know how to get the Ultrahand Ability, it’s time to use it. You will need to interact with the powered orb and attach it to the other one next to it. Next, you will be able to power the wheel next to it and it will start rotating.

Once the wheel has been powered, it will start rotating clockwise. What you need to do next is to jump on it and let it ride you to the higher platform.

Once it gets you there, try to jump and climb on the platform. Timing is important, if you miss one single moment, you’ll have to go back and try to climb again.

Next, after you get to the top of the platform, keep walking forward until you see the empowered orbs puzzle just like the previous one. For this puzzle, it requires a little bit more work. The two orbs are now located further away from each other.

In order to solve this, use your Ultrahand Ability and grab the orb on the right. Bring it higher into the air and let it fall down, which will help generate momentum and the orb will start rotating back and forth (from left to right).

Next, use your Ultrahand Ability one more time and interact with the powered orb. Then move it to the other orb while momentum drives it to you, this will make the attachment process easier.

You will be able to see a rotating wheel as you get to the place. In order to solve this, use your Recall Ability to rewind the wheel so that it starts rotating backwards. To unlock the Recall ability, you must complete the Nachoyah Shrine on Great Sky Island. This allows you to ‘rewind’ objects.
