The solution isn't immediately obvious, but once you know it is shockinglyꩵ simple. To reach it, you need to travel to the Gerudo Desert and go to the Southern Oasis, south of Gerudo Town.
The shrine provides you with everything you need to get through it, so don't worry about not having the right mat꧙erials or resources. There's also a treasure chest to grab inside this shrine for a powerful bow, which we cover how to claim before you leave the shrine.
Karahatag Shrine Location
You need to find your way to the southern oasis, which is south of Gerudo Town in the desert.
Depending on where you are in the story of Tears of the Kingdom, this shrine can be a bit of a pai🀅n to get to.
A Moldulga is patrolling the desert area near the oasis, and there is a sandstorm obscuring your vision and map.
If you enter the storm, you will lose access to your map. However, you can use updrafts to peak above the storm and find your bearings.
The best way to approach this shrine is from the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. Glide as far as you can and then run the rest of the way.

Karahatag Shrine Puzzle Solution
As you enter the shrine, you see a torch on the ground next to a burning pedestal. Grab the torch, set it on fire, and throw it at the tip of the pillar to the left of the brazier.
Alternatively, you can equip a bow, aim an arrow into the fire to set 👍it alight and shoot the flaming arrow into the pillar to open the gate.
In the second and final puzzle room, there is a pressure pad that makes the floor lower.
There are three pillars suspended in the air in this room. Standing on the pressure pad in front of you will cause little nibs to come out the bottom of ꦐeach of the pill𓂃ars.
Your goal is to light each of the candles using the movable torch. The way to do this is to use the Recall ability.
There is a treasure chest directly underneath the stone pressure pad.
To reach it, jump off the right side of the platform and glide underneath to find the opening.
The chest contains a . Use Ascend to return to the floor above.
Here is how to solve the second puzzle:
- Grab the brazier and move it under one of the upside-down pillars.
- Use Ultrahand to grab the brazier and hold it in the air just above the ground and slightly beneath the pillar.
- Put the Brazier down and move to the pressure pad. Before standing on the pad, use Recall on the torch and then stand on the pad.
- The floor will drop, but the torch will lift into the air and light the pillars as it comes down.
- Step off the pressure plate and stop Recall.
Now move the brazier to the next pillar and repeat this process. When all three are lit, the final door will open.
When you light one of the pillars, you can't tell it's lit when you stand off the pad.
Just make sure you're letting the brazier stay under it for a few seconds to ensure it catches fire.
With the door🌞 open and the chest grabbed, make your way through and claim the best prize of all: another Light of Blessing.
