You find the Apogek Shrine in the Lanayru Great Spring region of Hyrule. The coordinates are (3887, -0217, 0164). If you can’t see it, look under the huge stone platform on the side of the Ja’Abu Ridge – it’s kind of hiding!


Apogek Shrine puzzle solution

The first thing you see when you open the Apogek Shrine are some Zonai gliders flying off a platform. That’s because this shrine is all about flying, while also moving a ball in a sod that opens the gate of the shrine.

1. A Zonai glider will be waiting on the platform on your left. Grab it Ultra convenient and move it to the platform you’re standing on – make sure it’s far enough back so it can’t slide off yet.

2. Grab the ball on the left side of the room and use Ultrahand to glue it to the back of the glider.

3. Raise the glider slightly on the rails so that it slides off and into the air.

4. Slide down to the lower platform, remove the ball from the glider and place it in the hole in the ground. The gate ahead opens.

5. There are four fans on two small platforms that open onto the higher platform ahead. Use Ultrahand to move two of these fans to the higher platform. Then use another fan, hit it to activate it, to get to it yourself using Link’s personal glider.

6. To the left of the room on an even higher platform is one chest. Bring a fan there and fly up to the Mighty Zonaite Spear inside.

7. Zonai Gliders spawn intermittently on the rails at the front of the platform. Grab one with Ultrahand and move it off the rails. Then use Ultrahand to merge two fans on the end of the glider.

8. Move the glider back to the rails before jumping on. Hit the fans to activate them to get enough juice to reach the next platform, which is quite far away.

9. Get out once you cross the platform, then examine the sigil to complete the shrine and get the Light of blessing.
