Gutoku Shrine

Maren's Tip

Remember — if a shrine gives Rauru's Blessing with no puzzle inside, the real challenge was reaching the entrance. Check the surrounding area!

Walkthrough

1. Step 1: Gutoku Shrine is a Rauru's Blessing shrine located on the highest accessible sky island in all of Tears of the Kingdom, completing the "Highest Point" crystal quest.
2. The island floats at an extreme altitude above the Hebra Sky region — you cannot reach it by normal Paraglider flight from any surface-level Skyview Tower.
3. You must launch from a mid-tier sky island platform that is already at significant altitude.
4. Step 2: Travel to the nearest mid-tier sky platform (accessible from the Hebra Skyview Tower launch).
5. On this platform, locate the Zonai device dispenser and the construction materials.
6. You need to build a vehicle capable of extreme vertical lift.
7. The recommended build is a Zonai wing body with two Zonai Rockets attached vertically to the wing's underside — rockets provide the raw thrust needed to reach the target altitude.
8. Alternatively, stack four Zonai Fans on a flat platform facing downward for sustained vertical lift, though this consumes more battery power.
9. Step 3: Board your vehicle and activate the rockets (or fans).
10. The vehicle launches vertically at high speed.
11. Watch the altitude — you need to reach approximately 200 meters above the mid-tier platform.
12. When the rockets burn out (after about 5 seconds), immediately deploy your Paraglider to maintain altitude.
13. Step 4: From maximum altitude, look around for the target island — it is a small, flat-topped platform roughly 50 meters in diameter with a distinctive green shrine glow visible from a distance.
14. Glide toward it using the Paraglider.
15. You will lose altitude during the glide, so you need to have launched high enough to still clear the island's edge on arrival.
16. If you fall short, you will need to return to the mid-tier platform and try again with more altitude.
17. Step 5: Land on the island.
18. The crystal quest "Highest Point" auto-completes the moment you set foot on the island — a notification confirms the achievement.
19. The shrine materializes near the island's center.
20. Step 6: Enter the shrine and walk directly to the altar.
21. This is a pure Rauru's Blessing shrine — no puzzle, no combat.
22. The engineering challenge of reaching this altitude was the entire test.
23. Claim your Light of Blessing.
24. Hidden chest: Inside the shrine, a chest to the right of the altar contains a Large Zonai Charge (valuable for refueling your devices for the return trip).
25. Ability needed: Ultrahand for building the launch vehicle.
26. Paraglider for the final approach glide.
27. No abilities used inside the shrine.
28. Pro tip: After completing this shrine, it becomes a permanent fast-travel point at the highest altitude in the game.
29. From here, you can Paraglider to virtually any sky island in the region — it is the ultimate aerial hub.
30. Place a Travel Medallion here if you have not already used your shrine fast-travel.
