Out of the many puzzle challenges in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the ones offered by Makasura Shrine are fairly challenging, testing the player’s mastery of Link’s Ascend ability. Called “An Upright Device“, this Shrine is among over 100 similar locations that players can solve for a special reward. However, players might also miss a special chest in this Shrine that gives them an additional item for their efforts.

The coordinates for Makasura Shrine are (1770, -1050, 0166), which puts it directly south of Kakariko Village within the larger West Necluda region. Reaching Shrines in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can sometimes be limited by the dangers of the landscape, such as the Orochium Shrine being in a tundra that demands cold resistance. Thankfully, there are no restrictions on the path to Makasure Shrine, since it is easily found close to the Village.

An Upright Device Shrine Guide

Walking into Makasura Shrine, players will see a grate peeking out over a ledge, inviting them to use Link’s Ascend ability to “swim” through it and reach the higher platform above. From here, players can actually see the end of the Shrine across a huge hallway, and a grate with one of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s Zonai devices attached to it. An example Zonai device sits nearby, but players simply need to hit the device with a melee weapon.

Doing this will cause the grate to be forced up, letting players climb to the protruding edge of the object, which now serves as an elevated platform. Jumping off from the platform and gliding to the middle area of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s Makasura Shrine shows another L-shaped grate with the same kind of device attached. Hitting the Zonai device puts the grate up once again, giving players a chance to jump over the gated wall to their left.

How to Solve the Last Puzzles of Makasura Shrine

In this secluded section, players will find a much smaller grate they must attach the same type of Zonai device to the bottom of the object. This time, the grate has a small bowl-shaped holder for an orb also in the room, which will be launched back over the wall when players hit the device. Striking the device again sits it down again, with players using their new Ultrahand ability in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to reset this makeshift catapult for themselves.

Traveling back to the middle platform over the wall again leads players to drop the orb into the hole to open a gate. Inside, they’ll find the same grate and bowl contraption they saw earlier, which needs to be attached to the platform part of the L-shaped grate here to create a larger catapult. Simply standing in the bowl at the end and shooting the Zonai device with any arrow found in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be enough to launch players across the last gap to the Shrine’s end.

Rewards for Solving Makasura Shrine

A chest sits in the secluded room over the wall, above players at the opposite end of the room from where they first jump down. Rotating the catapult made in here to face the opposite wall gives players an opportunity to launch themselves toward this chest instead of back to the original platform. Doing this grants a powerful item in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom called a Fairy Tonic, which restores lots of Link’s hearts when consumed.

The main reward for solving Makasura Shrine is a Light of Blessing, which can be exchanged at any Goddess Statue found in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for upgrades to the player’s health or stamina.
