How to complete the Run’aqit Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
If you are interested in locating the Runakit Shrine, you can easily find it to the east of Hyrule Castle, in the vicinity of the summit of the region known as Hyrule Ridge. Just take a look at your map to locate its exact position:
As you enter the Runakit Shrine (or from Run’aqit), I recommend you look closely at the concave receptacle located on your left. It is there that you will have to move the imposing metal sphere from one end of the chamber to access the innermost section. Take advantage of your Zelda Tears of the Kingdom speeder to effortlessly traverse the wide gap that separates you from the side of the room where the sphere rests, then proceed to lift it off its pedestal. By now in the game, you should be familiar with the prowess your Ultra Hand ability gives you in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. In this way, simply place the sphere on the nearby metal railings and roll it forward until you reach the next platform..
At this point, you will be faced with a wider set of rails that makes it difficult to simply roll the ball a second time. However, there is a workaround: you’ll need to attach the ball to adjacent rods, making sure to connect all four rods end to end so they can rest on the spacious railings and function as an anchor point. If you don’t use all four ribs, there is a risk that the ball will go off course, fall into the abyss and reappear in its original pedestal. Once the ball is firmly positioned on the other side of the railings, slide deftly and separate the ball from the posts..
The next stage of the Runakit Sanctuary presents some complexity, since the last railing consists of a single path instead of two like the previous ones. On one side of the railing, you will see a stone structure made up of two slabs joined in an L shape, forming a triangular point.. Use this setup to transfer the ball from one side of the chasm to the other.:
- Take the detached sphere and fix it to a single rod, descended from the previous platform.
- Once the sphere is attached, attach the stick to one of the edges of the stone triangle.
- Look closely at the platform for a flat stone slab and connect it to the other edge of the triangle, forming a T.
- Collect all the items and place them on the railing, making sure the key is in the middle of the L-shaped stones.
The force of gravity will carry the sphere to the end of the rails, since the flat stone slab that you have adhered to one of the edges of the triangle will act as a barrier to prevent it from slipping off the railing. You can now slide into the sphere, separate it, and pick it up in the key slot using Ultra Hand, thus solving the Runakit Shrine puzzle..
