Shrines are one of the most valuable resources in Tears of the Kingdom since they provide the player with Lights of Blessing. These can be exchanged for increased health and stamina and provide fast travel points to save time. Due to the nature of the rewards, the shrines are slightly tricky due to the puzzles involved. This guide will provide you with detailed instructions on how to proceed.

  5. Detach the slab attached vertically and resposition is to be attached in a horizontal manner so that it makes contact with the cart
  6. Jump inside the cart and use Ultrahand to swing the modified slab to send the minecart across the chasm

Detailed Walkthrough for Utsushok Shrine

The first order of business is to get to the entrance of the shrine, which is at the following coordinates. 0668, -3359, 0072. 

Precise location of the shrine

Once you interact with the shrine, it should transport you inside it, where the first puzzle will await you.

Walk forward till you enter the puzzle room. You should see a suspended slab and a large ball on a rail. The goal here is to move the ball across the rail into the hole at the other end in order to advance to the second puzzle.

Assuming that you have the Ultrahand ability, the solution is straightforward. All you have to do is to grab the slab using the ability. Release it from the highest point to move the ball across the rails into the goal. This will result in the entrance to the second puzzle unlocking.

Swinging the first slab

Now the second puzzle is similar to the first one. Except that the slab on its own is not capable of generating enough force to move the ball across. To deal with this, you can use the giant cube on the right side of the entrance of the second room. Select that using the Ultrahand ability and attach it to the lowest point of the slab.

Once you are done with this, use the Ultrahand ability to select the slab. Release it from the highest possible point to move the ball across. This will unlock the final puzzle.

Swinging the modified slab

Upon entering the final puzzle room, you will notice that it is similar to the first two puzzles. However, the slab is shorter and cannot make contact with the ball.

To fix this, you must use an additional slab lying on the ground. Attach it vertically to the already suspended slab to make contact with the ball.

Attaching in a vertical configuration

Once the slab is attached in a vertical orientation, use Ultrahand to swing the modified slab in order to send the ball across the railing.

Next, a minecart will appear on the right-hand side and drop down onto the rails.

Appearance of the Minecart

Now, the slab you attached vertically needs to be reattached but in a horizontal configuration to make contact with the minecart.

Attaching slab horizontally

Once this is done, the next step is to hop inside the minecart. Use Ultrahand to push the minecart to the opposite edge, which marks the end of the shrine. If you want to reset at any point, you can use the Recall ability assuming that you have unlocked it by completing the Nachoyah Shrine on Great Sky Island.

Swinging the modified slab

While on the minecart, a chest is visible on a platform midway between the chasm. Use your Ultrahand ability to carry the chest to the opposite side, where you can open it to receive a Sneaky Elixir.

Carrying the chest from the platform to the other side

Lastly, interact with the statues to receive the Light of Blessing, which can be used for improving health and stamina. You are now done with this shrine.

Congratulations on getting done with the shrine. Now Link can continue exploring Hyrule and uncovering its secrets.
