The Timawak Shrine is an example of the latter, withThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomplayers needing to cross several streams of molten magma to reach their goal. In order to do so safely, they’ll have to create their own moving platforms using water, then find ways to propel those platforms toward the Shrine’s statue room.
Timawak Shrine Location
Timawak Shrine is in the Eldin Canyon area to the north ofthe Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower. It’s to the south of the Goron Hot Springs and southwest of death mountain. The best way to reach it is from the air, with players able to glide there from the region’s Skyview Tower in less than sixty seconds. For those having trouble pinpointing its exact location, though, the coordinates for the Timawak Shrine are 1800,1641, 0311.
Timawak Shrine Walkthrough
To complete the Timawak Shrine, players will need to cross several streams of lava. The first one is relatively easy to pass, with a nearby water source creating platforms that players can walk right across. In the next area, players will need to kill a Soldier Construct, after which, they should locate the platform with the ball on it. By usingLink’s Recall ability, they’ll be able to rewind the momentum of the lava platforms coming toward them to make their way across.
From here, it’s possible to create new floating platforms byfiring Splash Fruit arrowsinto the lava. If players create one near the chest and then use Recall on it once it gets close to them, they’ll be able to ride it over to the chest and claim theStrong Zonaite Shieldinside. After that, they should head back over to the platform with the ball on it, throw the ball into the lava behind them, and then ride one of the oncoming platforms back to where they started. As soon as they’re back on solid land, they’ll want to grab the ball with Ultrahand and then drop it in the nearby hole to unlock the door.
In the final room of the Timawak Shrine, players will have to cross a huge body of lava. To do so, they’ll first need to place one of the fans flat on the ground pointing upward and then activate it. Next, they should jump into the wind created by the fan anduse Link’s Paragliderto get up onto the nearby ledge with the twoHydrantson it. Once activated, these hydrants spew water, which players can use to create new platforms in the lava. If they attach a fan to one of these platforms, they’ll be able to ride it across the lava like a boat and complete the Timawak Shrine.
