In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Rakashog Shrine challenges players to attach platforms in different ways to overcome various gaps and ledges. It can be helpful to players to better understand some of the useful physics at their disposal within Tears of the Kingdom.
Rakashog Shrine Location in TotK
Players are able to find the Kitawak Shrine in the East Gerudo Mesa just north of the South Lomei Labyrinth.
The shrine is located on top of a small ridge and can be easily reached by gliding southeast from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower.

Upon entering the shrine, players will immediately be faced with a gap that they need to cross. Ultrahand can be used to attach the platform against the nearby wall to the hinged platform in front of them. The combined weight will be enough to cause the structure to fall over the gap and create a bridge.
How to Get the Hidden Chest in the Kitawak Shrine
Players can take the platform from their bridge and attach it to the spinning gear in the middle of the gap to their left. Link is able to hop onto the platform as it rotates around to reach the chest on the other side and claim a bundle of ten arrows.
How to Solve the First Puzzle in the Kitawak Shrine
The first real puzzle of the shrine involves getting Link to reach a higher ledge using the levered platform in between. Players will find another platform on the ground nearby that they can attach to the middle platform as shown above.
Players can then take the platform from the previous gap and attach it to the other end as pictured to reach the ledge above.
How to Solve the Second Puzzle in the Kitawak Shrine
In the next section, Link will need to reach a much higher platform by creating a catapult. Players should remove a platform from the previous puzzle and attach it to the end of the new hinged platform in front of them.
With Link standing on the end of this combined platform, players should shoot the glowing switch to trigger the launcher underneath the platform. If players do this before attaching the other platform, Link will not gain enough height to reach the final ledge. Players can hit the switch again to lower the launcher and reset it.
If done correctly with the extended platform, the force applied to Link will be much greater and propel him high in the air. He can then glide over to the statues waiting to reward him with a Light of Blessing.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
