Shrines are a little bit different in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom than they were in its predecessor, thanks mostly to the game's suite of new abilities and interactions. But some Shrines, like the Gatakis Shrine, use familiar mechanics in a new way.
In Gatakis Shrine, players don't have to use any of the new abilities in Tears of the Kingdom. This Shrine is based on wind gusts and the Paraglider and Link's ability to control himself mid-air. But it's no walk in the park – or flight through the park – thanks to the Shrine's lasers, Constructs, and other obstacles.
Gatakis Shrine Walkthrough – "Ride The Winds"
When players enter Gatakis Shrine, they will see a huge gust of wind just ahead, pointing down another hallway to the right. Jump off the ledge at the end of the stairs and open the paraglider to glide to the platform beneath this gust of wind. Players will immediately notice that the wind is aimed down a hallway crisscrossed with lasers.
The wind here is pretty powerful and will propel Link faster than one might expect – in fact, he will hardly lose any height while paragliding inside the gust. Aim for the side of the interlaced lasers, then glide back to the center through the two vertical lasers.
Link will land on another platform that leads to another room. Here, there is a big circular pit with a slowly rotating fan-like structure in its center. There's a gap in about a third of the fan, so jump down this pit and aim Link for this gap as it rotates around.
At the bottom, Link will land on a frozen platform. Jump on this several times to shatter it and fall into an even lower room with strong vertical gusts of wind that will push Link back upward.
Look around this room to see two places Link can land – a platform with a Construct Captain and a chest and the end of the Shrine. Simply pull out the paraglider and ride these gusts of wind to propel Link to the end and pick up another Light of Blessing.
How To Get The Chest In Gatakis Shrine
There is only one chest in Gatakis Shrine, and it's found at the very end, so don't worry about checking every nook and cranny of the Shrine's many rooms to find it. In the final room with the vertical gusts of wind, Link will see a jutting platform with the Gatakis Shrine chest and its guardian Construct.
Players can choose to fight the Construct for a Zonai Charge and some craftable materials or glide over to the exit without engaging this enemy.
Pull out the paraglider once Link drops into this room, then simply glide towards this platform to open the chest. Inside is a Strong Construct Bow, with a base 11 damage.
