Perched above Hyrule Ridge, the Runakit Shrine challenges you to master momentum, balance, and precision. This guide walks you through every puzzle and path to reveal its hidden secrets and the rewards waiting inside.
Runakit Shrine location
Runakit Shrine is located on a raised plateau in the Hyrule Ridge region, west of the New Serenne Stable and north of Mount Rhoam. Its coordinates are roughly (-2531, 1170, 0177). To reach it, follow the road leading west from Hyrule Field, then climb the nearby cliffs. The shrine is visible from a distance due to its elevated position, making it a convenient landmark when exploring this area.
The Runakit Shrine is located within Hyrule Ridge, at the coordinates of (-2534, 1167, 0177). It’s northwest of Ludfo’s Bog and at the northeastern base of Mount Rhoam.
Runakit Shrine walkthrough
The Runakit Shrine challenges you to balance and move large stone balls across rails to activate the exit mechanism. Begin by using Ultrahand to place the first sphere on the rails and guide it into its slot to power part of the shrine. Continue by aligning additional rails and platforms to move the remaining spheres, creating a steady path forward. Once all sections are connected and the mechanism is triggered, the gate to the Light of Blessing chamber will open.
The Runakit Shrine opens into a big, open room with a ton of different platforms and rail systems. It’s an overwhelming space, but don’t worry: The shrine is complex, but we’ll get you through it. In the simplest terms, you’ll navigating a ball around the shrine and using your glider to follow it.
Let’s get you started.
1. From the entrance, head straight down the stairs and toward the far end of the current platform. There’s a gap to cross, with two ladders at the other side. Use your glider to get over there.
2. Climb the ladders up the tall platform. There’s a large ball right at the top of the platform. To its right, there’s a two-bar rail system leading to the next platform. Grab the large ball and place it onto the platform and let it travel to the next platform. Glide yourself over there, too.
3. There are four logs on this platform. Use Ultrahand to fuse two of them to the ball, putting each log’s tip on opposite ends. Make sure they’re even, because there will stabilize the ball as it travels down the next series of rails. Put the ball on the rails and glide alongside it.
4. After you land, look toward a platform on the left side of the room to spot a treasure chest. Ignore the ball for a bit while we secure the loot. Before the platform, also on the left side room against the wall, there are four panels – two are already joined in a caret shape, and two are single panels. Combine the single panels to match the caret shape.
5. Move the panels to the rail ahead to create a walkway of sorts to reach the ladder up to the treasure chest. Because of the caret shape, they’ll be able to balance on the rail.
6. Hop onto your new platform and over to the ladder. Climb up and grab the treasure inside.
7. Return to the the main platform via glider and bring a panel pair with you. Turn to your right, away from the wall, and you’ll see another caret-shaped panel. Secure two panels together to create an U shape – use the ones that were already fused, not the one you fused together. What you get is a bottom and two sides to a box.
8. Disassemble the caret panel that you previously fused together and use the pieces to close off the U shape and create a box. Now you’ve got a box with a bottom and four sides.
9. Take the logs off your ball and attach them to the box so they are both on the same side, and both facing up. Pull the third remaining caret panel from the rails and place that on top of the logs, like so:
10. Place the ball inside the box. Now, you’ll move the whole box to the single rail. The caret-shaped panel on top is like a hook. Let it go, and it’ll travel to the next platform.
11. Use your glider to follow it to the platform.
12. Remove the ball from the box using Ultrahand and carry it up the left-side ramp. There’s an indent in the floor straight ahead where you’ll put the ball.
Best way to reach Runakit Shrine from Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower
The best way to reach Runakit Shrine from Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower involves gliding directly west after launching skyward.
Step-by-Step Directions
Launch from Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower in Hyrule Ridge and head almost due west on the map. The shrine appears prominently on a ridge at coordinates (-2534, 1167, 0177), north of Mount Rhoam and northwest of Ludfo’s Bog.
Gliding Approach
Glide straight west from the tower’s apex, adjusting slightly northwest if needed to land near the shrine entrance. This path covers minimal distance with no major obstacles, making it faster than climbing from lower slopes.
Alternatives if Low on Stamina
Attach a makeshift platform or fan-powered vehicle to extend glide range if stamina runs short. Climbing nearby ridges from Mount Rhoam works but takes longer than the direct glide.
Glide route and wind conditions from Lindor’s Brow to Runakit Shrine
The optimal glide route from Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower to Runakit Shrine heads almost due west, covering a short distance across Hyrule Ridge with favorable natural updrafts aiding the descent.
Recommended Route
Launch skyward from the tower and angle your glide directly west toward the shrine’s ridge at coordinates (-2534, 1167, 0177). Monitor your stamina wheel and adjust slightly northwest if drifting south toward the Hyrule Ridge Chasm; the shrine’s elevated platform allows a direct landing with minimal stamina drain.
Wind Conditions
Expect consistent upward wind currents from the ridge slopes and surrounding terrain, providing passive stamina recovery during the glide-no extreme gusts or down drafts complicate the path. Check for clear weather to maximize these natural updrafts, as rain would hinder stamina regeneration.
Tips for Success
-
Deploy the paraglider early from the launch apex to catch initial lift, then descend gradually while following the terrain contour.
-
If stamina runs low, land on intermediate ledges north of Mount Rhoam and re-glide the final stretch.
