Kitawak Shrine Solution

  • For the first section, stick the large panel underneath the one that can’t stand up on its own. This will create a rickety bridge for you to hop across.
  • For the next section, you can use that same panel you just used to attach it to a spinning wheel and then retrieve the chest.

  • After that, bring the panel off the spinning disk and head to the next section.

  • For this next section, you just need to make sure that one of the platforms is pointing towards the higher section, then sprint up it and jump off the end.

  • The final section of this shrine requires you to make a launcher for Link to throw himself up to the next section.
  • You’ll see a small yellow light next to a platform, hitting this with something or shooting it with an arrow will cause the platform to flick up, giving Link some lift.
  • However, it’s not enough on its own to send Link up to the Shrine exit.
  • Instead, you have to take on of the platforms and attach it at an angle, so that when Link hits the release, he’ll be thrown up to the exit of the shrine.
