Hidden within the vast Gerudo Highlands, the Rasiwak Shrine challenges players with shifting platforms and clever timing puzzles that test precision and patience. Here’s how to reach it and master every trickinside for a flawless completion.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
Rasiwak Shrine location
Rasiwak Shrine is located in the Gerudo Desert region, southwest of Central Hyrule. You can find it inside the Gerudo Canyon Mine at coordinates roughly (-4639, -3796, 0047). To reach it, glide or climb down into the canyon from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower area, following the western path into the mine. Watch for enemies and environmental hazards like heat during the day, and bring cooling gear or elixirs to make the trip safer.
The Rasiwak Shrine is found within the Akkala Sea region. Looking at the map, you’ll want to head toward the coastline close to the Lomei Island Labyrinth at the coordinates of (4664, 3262, 0002).
Rasiwak Shrine walkthrough
Rasiwak Shrine tests your precision and control with Zonai devices. Use the supplied rockets to move large blocks and reach higher platforms. Begin by attaching rockets to the movable blocks and angle them to fly toward the upper ledges. Once you reach the higher area, use another rocket to lift a block that helps you cross the final gap. The chest inside contains a useful item, and completing the shrine grants a Light of Blessing.
The “Flotational Brilliance” puzzle of the Rasiwak Shrine is a fun one, using floating balls to get through a series of obstacles.
1. Head straight into the shrine. You’ll see a ball and a platform hanging from a rope. Use your bow and arrow to cut the rope, dropping the platform down. Use this to cross the water, and bring the ball with you.
2. There’s a platform on a lever ahead. Bring the ball over and attach it to the platform so it creates a ramp. Head up!
3. Next, you have to cross a larger body of water. On the left side, hanging from the ceiling, there’s a chest with a magic scepter inside. We’re going to cross but stop in the middle to collect the chest. The first thing to do is shoot the rope so the chest falls into the water.
4. Now, secure the two balls to the stone slab on the floor. Put the fan on the back.
5. Use Ultrahand to put it into the water. Hit the device to start, but stop when you’re close enough to use Ultrahand to grab the chest. Secure the chest to the makeshift boat, and continue sailing to the other side.
6. Once you’re safely on the otherwise, remove one ball and the chest. Open the chest to get a magic scepter, and place the ball onto the golden target on the floor.
How to reach Rasiwak Shrine from the Ancient Tech Lab
Rasiwak Shrine lies northeast of the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab along North Akkala Beach in the Akkala Sea region. From the lab, head directly east to the coastline, then follow the beach north toward Lomei Island Labyrinth; the shrine sits at coordinates 4664, 3262, 0002, at the base of cliffs.
Travel Steps
Travel northeast from the lab’s position (roughly 4500, 3200), staying close to the shoreline to avoid cliffs. Use the Jochi-iu Shrine south of East Akkala Stable as a fast-travel point if unlocked-glide north off the hill at the end. On foot or horse, expect a short 1-2 minute trek along the beach; paraglide down the final cliff face to reach the entrance.
Tips
Bring arrows for shrine puzzles ahead. Watch for nearby caves or enemies on the beach approach. This route avoids water traversal or climbing puzzles outside the shrine itself.
Best route from Akkala Ancient Tech Lab to the beach shrine
Rasiwak Shrine, the “beach shrine,” is a quick coastal trek northeast from the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The optimal route hugs the shoreline for minimal climbing or hazards.
Step-by-Step Route
Head directly east from the lab (around coordinates 4500, 3200) toward North Akkala Beach, descending to sea level. Follow the sandy coastline north for about 1-2 minutes, passing North Akkala Beach Cave entrance on your right at 4643, 3206. Spot the shrine ahead at 4664, 3262, 0002, tucked under cliffs in front of Lomei Island Labyrinth-paraglide down the final drop if elevated.
Pro Tips
Travel on horseback along the flat beach to cover ground fast; avoid inland cliffs or water swims. Unlock Jochi-iu Shrine beforehand for fast travel, then run north and glide off the hill nearby. Minimal enemies en route, but pack arrows for the shrine itself.
