The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's many shrines test Link's new runes and abilities: Ascend, Fuse, Ultrahand, and Recall. Of all these Shrines, the most complex ones typically utilize a mix of the few. This is not the case for the Gatanisis Shrine, a shrine in the Akkala Region that significantly tests the players' ability to use Recall. This guide walks the player through exactly how Gatanisis Shrine works in Tears of the Kingdom - but be warned, a fair amount of luck is involved.
Gatanisis Shrine Location in TotK
The Gatanisis Shrine is located at the very east of the map in the Akkala Region at coordinates 4498, 0825, 0095. It is directly west of Knuckel Island and east of Ulria Grotto. The easiest way to get to it is to launch Link from Upland Zorana Skyview Tower and paraglide directly east until reaching Knuckel Island and the surrounding area. Gatanisis Shrine should be visible from this point.
Gatanisis Shrine Puzzle Solution
Unfortunately, Gatanisis Shrine involves a degree of luck and patience to complete. The goal here is to get the ball to hit the target in order to open the door. Initially, it doesn't get high enough. Facing the platform, the player should see a small square platform attached to the long platform with a ball bouncing along it.
Standing on that square, use Recall on the platform in order to bounce the ball high enough to reach the target. Try hitting the platform with Recall just before the ball is underneath the target. After a few (or more) tries, the player will be able to figure out the path of the ball and time the Recall well enough to hit the target. Before going all the way through, however, players should grab the treasure chest above the target.
Gatanisis Shrine Treasure Chest Location
To get to the Treasure Chest in the Shrine, the player will have to return to the bouncing platform. Standing in the middle, use Recall on the platform to launch Link into the air while facing the treasure chest on the opposite end of the platform to the square.
Link isn't safe here, however, so make sure to watch out for the ball that is still bouncing around. Launch up, paraglide safely down, and collect the five Bomb Flowers in the Chest.
