Hidden high above the skies of Lanayru, the Gatanisis Shrine tests both precision and timing with a series of motion-based puzzles. This guide explains how to reach the shrine’s floating island location and solve each challenge inside to claim its reward.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page and interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
Gatanisis Shrine location
Gatanisis Shrine is situated in the Akkala region of Hyrule, on an island off the eastern coast. You can find it near the North Akkala Sea, southeast of Rist Peninsula. The easiest way to reach it is by gliding from the cliffside north of Deep Akkala or by building a raft or Zonai vehicle to cross the water. The shrine’s coordinates are roughly (4511, 2138, 0001), making it a bit remote, so prepare some stamina or Zonai charges before setting out.
The Gatanisis Shrine shrine is found within the Akkala Highlands region, on the mainland coast west of Knuckel Island (or just east of Ulria Grotto). The exact coordinates are (4498, 0825, 0095).
Gatanisis Shrine ‘A Well-Timed Bounce’ walkthrough
Gatanisis Shrine’s challenge, “A Well-Timed Bounce,” focuses on using Zonai spring platforms to launch balls onto targets with precise timing. Begin by activating the spring and positioning the ball so it bounces toward the goal receptacle. Adjust angles carefully to control trajectory, and use Recall if needed to correct a missed shot. The final puzzle involves hitting a distant target-use the larger spring and align your aim before triggering it to complete the shrine.
The Gatanisis Shrine is all about timing and presents a high chance of frustration. Get ready to use Recall.
1. Run down the ramp to see a giant bobbing platform and a boulder bouncing along it. Above the boulder is a target, and each time the boulder passes, it isn’t bouncing high enough to hit the target. Run to the platform and stand on the open square to the side of the ball. You’ll need to use Recall at just the right moment to send the ball flying up toward the target.
2. There’s no real secret and it takes a bit of work: as the ball rolls toward the target, you’ll want to Recall the platform to push up on the ball right when it’s under the target. Trial and error are required, but the path is clear. Once you nail it, the door to the sigil will open.
3. Before you leave, walk to the middle of the bobbing platform (while avoiding the boulder – ouchies!) and use Recall to launch yourself into the sky. If you time it just right, you should hover above the target and see a chest. Paraglide to the platform to receive five Bomb Flowers.
