Stuck on the Apogek Shrine puzzle in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Follow our step-by-step guide to solve the 'Wings on the Wind' challenge and claim your Light of Blessing.

Alright, so you're looking to tackle the Apogek Shrine in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, huh? It's a pretty neat one, focusing on using those cool Zonai Wing devices. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it!

Where to Find Apogek Shrine:

First things first, you'll find this shrine south of Ja’Abu Ridge in the Lanayru Great Spring area. It's perched on the cliffs overlooking Brynna Plains. Now, here's the tricky part: if you're coming from the north, it's a bit hidden. You'll need to look for some ruins on the cliffside. Drop down beneath those ruins, and voilà, you'll find the entrance to the Apogek Shrine.

Apogek Shrine: Wings on the Wind Puzzle Walkthrough:

As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by the first puzzle. Your goal is to get a ball across a big chasm to a target bowl on the other side. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Grab one of the Zonai Wing devices from the left side of the room.
  2. Use your Ultrahand ability to attach the ball to the wing.
  3. Place the wing device on the sloped rails.
  4. Hop onto the wing yourself!
  5. Fly it across the chasm to the other side.
  6. Once you're over, detach the ball and carefully drop it into the target bowl. This will open the gate to the next area.

Now, for the next part, you'll need to get up to an upper platform. You can do this by paragliding up using the upturned fan that's conveniently placed there. Once you've landed on the upper platform, take a moment to snag that treasure chest!

How to Get the Apogek Shrine Treasure Chest:

This chest is sitting pretty on a high platform on the left wall. To reach it, just grab one of the fan devices you see below using Ultrahand. Place it directly in front of the treasure chest, then turn it on. The gust of wind it creates will propel you upwards, letting you grab the chest. Inside, you'll find a Strong Zonaite Spear – nice!

With the treasure secured, hop back down. You've got one final puzzle to solve before you can claim your reward. You'll see some wing devices constantly flying down a railed slope, but they're not quite making it to the end. To give them that extra boost:

  1. Grab two fan devices.
  2. Attach them to the back of one of the Wing devices using Ultrahand.
  3. Place this souped-up wing device onto the rails.
  4. Hit the fans to activate them and ride the wing across the chasm.

These extra fans will give the wings the power they need to reach the end of the shrine. Once you make it across, you'll be able to claim your Light of Blessing. Pretty straightforward, right?
