Players are using the new Ultrahand ability given to us inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomto build some truly wild things (that may or may not break the Geneva Convention, but that’s for another article). Hopefully you’ve gotten some good Ultrahand practice in with all the exploring, because Runakit Shrine in Hyrule Ridge will test your ability to problem-solve with it.

The final level of this puzzle can be pretty tricky, so we hope you’re good with geometry. For help solving the puzzle at Runakit Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom, check out our guide below.

Runakit Shrine itself is pretty easy to see when you activateLindor’s Brow Skyview Towerand look almost dueWestfrom it when you launch out. On your map, it’sNorth of Mount Rhoam, not farEast of theHyrule Ridge Chasm.
When you get into the shrine, you’ll see one of theorange ball keyholesin the ground by the locked door to the finish line, and the ball is also in sight - across a large chasm, and you can’t Ultrahand it back to the start, either.
You’ll have touse the rails around the areato carefullyget the ball across three increasingly complicated mechanismsto get it back to the start.
To begin,paraglide off the starting platform toward the one with the ball. When you land,climb the laddersto reach the ball itself.
Use Ultrahand tograb the ballfrom its starting position and simplyplace it on the metal bars nearby. Put it close enough to the edge, and gravity will take control, sending the ball to the second platform.Paraglide after the ballto get there yourself.
On the second platform,the rail is too widefor the ball to fit without falling right through. However, you’ll noticetwo straight metal barsleaning against the wall in the corner.
Use Ultrahand tograb the barsone by one androtate and attach themto the ball in such a fashion that theyjut horizontallyfrom either side of the ball.
Once this little contraption is made,put the rails on the barswith theball hanging down, and it will slide to the third and final puzzle platform. Again,paraglide overto meet it.
The third puzzle is the most complicated of all - it’sone suspended railthat you’ll need to use to get the ball back to the start. You’ve got a selection ofmetal pieces along the back wallat your disposal to use to get it there.
For this, you’ll need tomake a crude hookusing the metal pieces lying around. It won’t be a pretty shape, but it’ll get the job done.
Attach two of the L-shaped piecestogether on their longer sides, so that it makes asquared-off C shapewhen fused. To one side of this, attach athird L-shaped piecethat almost completes a square.
Now, head back to where the ball was deposited andshake off one of the metal rods. With one rod still connected to the ball,attach the rod to the open part of the shapeyou made with the three L-shaped pieces.
From here, use Ultrahand toflip the shape so that the ball hangs down into the chasma bit - it won’t fit otherwise.
It’s helpful to move this claw-shape as far down the rail as you can before letting go - even this shape wobbles on only one rail.
Let goof your contraption and watch the ball slide back to the start.
Paraglide over, shimmy the ball loose, anduse Ultrahand to carry it back to the topto put it in the hole and finish Runakit Shrine.
How To Get The Treasure Chest In Runakit Shrine
The treasure chest in Runakit Shrine is locatedon the third platform, above where you’re building the claw-shape to finish the puzzle.
Before you do, you’ll notice a few strayrails off to the left. Youcanmake a rail contraption with the pieces nearby before you make your claw contraption, but it’s easiest tomake a small bridgefor Link to cross out of three pieces - it’s just enough to reach the platform.
Waiting for you inside is aConstruct Bow.
