You will find many shrines as you make your way through The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Since there are over 100 shrines in the game, it is hard to find and complete them all. Each shrine is different, but the rewards from them will help you increase your health and stamina.

The Timawak Shrine is just one of the many shrines in the game but it is one of the more dangerous. Throughout the whole shrine, you will be dealing with large amounts of lava. Be careful. This guide will show you how to complete the Timawak Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

How to solve the Timawak Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

When you enter the shrine, you will see a lava river with hydrants on the left side. These hydrants will be creating lava slabs that flow across the river. Use these to make your way to the other side.

Once on the other side of the river, turn to the right and defeat the Zonai foe in the area. There is another river of lava flowing under the bridge. Use Recall to stop one of the lava slabs and rewind it. Hop onto the slab and use it to reach the ball on the platform.

Go behind where the ball is to grab the chest in the shrine. Pick up the ball and use the slabs to float back to where the hole is or it. Drop the ball in the hole to open the door.

The second room of the shrine can be solved in two ways. When you enter this room, turn to the right and hit the fan. Use your paraglider to reach the platform above. There is a hydrant on the upper platform. Use Ultrahand to move it to the lower platform with the fan.

The first method of completing this puzzle is to use Ultrahand to lift the hydrant over the lava and create a bridge. You can also create a slab and use Ultrahand to attach the fan to it. This will create a makeshift boat that you can use to get across the lava. With method is effective for reaching the other side and obtaining your Light of Blessing.

There are too many shrines to count in Tears of the Kingdom like the Kadaunar Shrine and the Susuyai Shrine.
