Even the people who don’t playThe Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdomwill know about the Shrine mechanic since it’s the core part of the game, and you’ll be spending most of your time in them. Each time you complete four Shrines, you get to have some extra permanent health or stamina.

These Shrines can be found both on the surface and the sky level in the game, and Kitawak is one of the surface shrines. It’s easy to get to this one since it’s located in the open, but it can be quite hard to beat it.
How To Find Kitawak Shrine
After you progress through the main story in the game, you’ll get to the surface map,which will be divided into multiple areas with clear boundaries. You’ll have to activate the Skyview Tower in a particular area to reveal its map, but the game doesn’t stop you from freely exploring the non-revealed areas.
The Kitawak Shrine can be found in the bottom right area, and you don’t necessarily have to unlock its map since it’s near the boundary.You’ll be able to see the Shrine in a Desert area whenever you’re near it. Although, there are other problems that you might face while trying to get to it.
If you try to come to this Shrine during the day, it’ll raise your temperature heavily. You’lleither need to rest somewhere until it’s nighttime or get some armor that can give youHeat Resistance. You can also cook some meals with cold ingredients to give you Heat Resistance, but the effect of that meal is temporary.
You’ll see atemperature meter on the bottom right of your screen, and you’ll start taking damage if it’s in the red or blue area.
Moreover, the meal’s effect will expire if you eat any other meal with a different effect likeCold ResistanceorGlow.
How To Beat Kitawak Shrine
As soon as you enter the Shrine, you’ll see a bridge that’s facing upward. One way Shrines are different from the normal world is that you may’t climb here,so you can’t simply climb the bridge and get to the next area. You’ll have to make use of another board standing upside on the wall to your right.
Pick up the boardusing your Ultrahand ability and attach it upright to the top of the bridge. This will let the bridge go down automatically and you can cross it to get to the next area.Make sure the second board is attached at the topso that it can stop as soon as it touches the other side.
While you’re crossing the bridge, you’ll see achest sitting on a higher platform in front and a wheel rotating to your left. The wheel is quite far, so you’re able to’t jump directly to it. You’ll have to use the same board that you attached to the bridge before. Detach the board from the bridge and bring it to the wheel.
If the board somehow fell down,you’re able to get it again from its spawn using the Ultrahand.
Attach theboard to the bottom part of the wheel while it’s horizontally straight. Putting it on the bottom part will help you get on it easily since the wheel rotates quite fast. This will let you get to the other side, soyou can simply claim the chest and glide back down to the main platform. The chest will give you ten arrows when you open it.
As you head to the next part, you’ll see another bridge floating in the middle of nowhere. To get past this one, you’ll be usingboth the board that you used for the previous bridge and the one that’s on the floor near it. There are multiple ways to get past this:
Once you cross the second bridge,you’ll have to solve one more puzzle before getting the Blessing. On your right, you’ll see a pit with amechanism that can be activated by hitting the button above. When you activate it, the mechanism will thrust up. You have to use it to get yourself to the final monument.
Detach one of the boards from the previous bridge and attach it to the board ontop of this mechanism while they’re both facing in the same direction. The idea is to essentially make the bridge longer. Once you’re done attaching it,go as far as you can on this bridge and hit the button with an arrow.
This will thrust you upward andyou can simply glide to the monument and take your Blessing. Though you won’t be able to take back your Arrow since it kicks you out of the domain.
