How to complete the Ukouh Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
If you're struggling with the game's first major test, then check out this guide to locate and finish the Ukouh Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The Ukouh Shrine - just a drop in the overwhelming amount of them to uncover in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - introduces the Ultrahand rune ability into the game, completely transforming the way you interact with various objects, allowing you to move almost any items and attach them to build (and save) new creations.
So, here's our rundown of the Ukouh Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom including finding its location on the map.
Where can you find the Ukouh Shrine?
The Ukouh Shrine can be found at the following coordinates: '0273, -0922, 1459'. This is just to the west of the Temple of Time in the Central Hyrule region and is easy to spot when standing at the front of the Temple.
How to complete the Ukouh Shrine
The first step of the Ukouh Shrine is fairly straightforward, but has you immediately taking control of the Ultrahand ability. You will want to use Ultrahand on the rectangular platform to the right and place it so that it creates a bridge across the gap ahead of you.
The next part is roughly the same, but it requires you to use the Ultrahand attach ability to join two platforms together. This is done by moving one of the platforms next to the other where you want them connected, and then pressing A to complete the fusion.
Unlocking the chest
After you've moved across the larger gap, you should be able to see a chest raised above to your right. To get up here, you'll want to grab the two platforms you conjoined before and use them as a ramp to reach the chest. There will be an Amber waiting inside for you.
Clearing the rail gap
This last part of the Shrine is slightly different and a little bit more challenging:
- Place the wooden platform to your left onto the floor and attach one of the giant hooks to the middle of the raft, so that the hook part is facing upwards
- Next, Lift the platform with the hook on it up and over to the rail that stretches across the gap, and then place it so that the hook loops around the top of the rail
- After you let go with Ultrahand, make sure to quickly jump upon the platform, and it should allow you to ride across the gap and reach the end of the Shrine
