The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower Walkthrough
The first step toward unlocking the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower is to get underneath it, and that can be done by entering the Sahasra Slope Cave at 1326, -1156, 0138. For full clarity, these coordinates are at the bottom of the rock formation upon which the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower sits, and the following image should help Zelda fans locate the entrance.
Upon reaching the cave, players should use a weapon that has been fused with a rock to quickly smash through the cracked boulders inside, stopping when they reach 1354, -1162, 0134. Fans should then point Link southward and start breaking the boulders that are ahead to access a small alcove. Standing within this alcove, players that reference the mini-map will discover that they are directly under the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, and they can use TotK's Ascend ability to pass through the ceiling and enter the structure.
Once a player is inside the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, they should take the Long Sticks that are propped on both sides of the door and then open it. These actions will allow Billson to enter and complete his work on the tower, and fans should examine its pedestal when he is done. Not only will this examination cause the map of the area to be revealed, it will also turn the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower into a fast travel point in Tears of the Kingdom, making it much easier to return in the future.
To note, before players leave the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, they may want to return to the chamber from which they Ascended and use Ultrahand to move a conspicuous boulder that is propped against the wall. Indeed, there is a Bubbulfrog beyond this boulder, and fans can earn a Bubbul Gem in TotK by slaying it. Additionally, there is a combat encounter and some loot in another part of the cave, incentivizing players to do further excavation.
