The shrines in Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom continue t✨o impress and surpass 🍬the ones from the previous game. Apogek Shrine is no exception, playing with the physics of the Zonai Wing devices to great effect.
This shrine is found just south of the Zora Domain, on a ledge hanging over the edge halfway up Ja'Abu Ridge. The only things you'll need for this shrine are Ultrahand and Ascend. The final section of this shrine has a few ways to complete, so feel free to mess around with whatever way you find more fun.
Apogek Shine Location
Apogek Shrine is past the southern side of the Zora Domain's East Reservoir Lake. Due to it being fairly out of the way, it's something of a pain to get to unless you've been to the Water Temple in the sky.
The exact coordinates for Apogek Shinre are 3887, -0217, 0164
We recommend heading to Ihen-a Shrine in the Zora Domain, up on Mipha Court, to reach this shrine with ease.
Since you'll start from a high vantage, you'll have no problem getting over the reservoir and beyond.
You can approach from the south if you have been up Mount Lanayru, but this could also be a struggle if you've not ventured there yet.
Apogek Shrine Puzzle Solution
As you enter the shrine, you'll see a small orange ball and some Zonai wings flying across horizontally the room. The solution to the first puzzle is to get one of those Zonai wings and fly the ball across the large gap.
The Zonai wings are flying from left to right, so head to the left side of your platform past the orange ball. There should be one Zonai wing sitting on the edge to your left, over on the other platform.
Grab this wing with Ultrahand and bring it across. Make sure you put it somewhere it's not going to slide away and take off.
If it does, use Recall on it to bring it back to you instead of waiting for another one to respawn.
Attach the ball to the centre of the wing and wait for the path ahead to be clear. The wings coming from the left will knock into you if you're not careful.
When it's clear, place it on the path and jump on. As it gathers speed, the💝 wing will take off and ferry you across the gap.
Pilot the wing by moving around it to turn or dive.
If a wing starts to approach you from the left, you can use Recall to send it back the way it came, avoiding a devastating in-air collision.
When you land, place the ball in the hole and move to the next room.
Final Room Puzzle Solution
In the final room, you will see three runways and some wings taking off down the path. There is one wing you can grab on the right.
Take this wing and position it on the middle runway. Jump on and let it take off. You won't get much speed or lift, but you're not aiming to land on top of the platform where the end of the shrine is.
Instead, you want the wing to glide gracefully underneath and use Ascend when you're under the platform to bring yourself up in front of the goal.
There might be another way to solve this by using the fans, but this method worked perfectly for us.
