Gatakis Shrine is a shrine in the northwest region of the surface in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and you can solve it easily with our guide! This shrine is quite light on usage of Purah Pad powers, instead making you rely on your skills with your paraglider. Here’s what you need to know to solve “Ride the Winds,” the puzzle of Gatakis Shrine.
How to Complete Gatakis Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
To get to the shrine, head to the coordinates (-3650, 1805, 0168). This is right at Rito Village, where you’ll go to investigate one of the four regional phenomena Purah tells you about. This makes Gatakis Shrine a perfect detour for either before or after this mission as you go through the main quest in TOTK!
From the initial perch when you walk in, simply glide down to the lower area. Right away, you’ll likely notice the wind blowing. No real tricks needed for this first section of lasers. Jump and pop open your paraglider, and you’ll be able to breeze through this section by steering between the lasers.
Next, you’ll come across a pit to jump into. Make sure you make it through the gap of the rotating platform and use a diving attack by pressing Y to break through the fragile shell, but be ready to deploy your paraglider! Open your paraglider up to ride the upwards draft and keep floating.
You should see a grated wall like the one pictured above with the small gap near the bottom. Use strategic opening and closing (press B) of your paraglider to make it through this gap. Once you’re through, open your paraglider and ride to the top to claim your Light of Blessing.
How to Get the Chest in the Shrine
The chest in Gatakis Shrine is fairly simple to obtain. After you jump in the pit, look around and you should see it sitting on a platform. It’s guarded by a Construct, but you can use a diving attack to make quick work of it and get to your chest. This chest contains a Strong Construct Bow, with a respectable attack power of 11.
That’s it for our Gatakis Shrine guide! While you’re in the area, check out our guide on TOTK‘s Sahirow Shrine to complete another shrine in the Northwest area of Hyrule.
