List of Contents
The Sacred Tears are numbered in the recommended order of collection. There are fewer Waking Water sections but you'll have to be careful running across sink sand.
You may refer to the image above to see each step's corresponding tear.

Observe how the Watchers move. There are spots where you can safely pass and avoid detection. Alternatively, if you get spotted, run to the tears right away.
Since this tear is high mid-air, you'll have to use the minecart to reach it. Move it to be beneath the tear while avoiding the Waking Waters.
This area has a plethora of watchers that may be difficult to avoid. Don't be afraid to position yourself in a manner where you can intentionally trigger the watchers before running safely to the tear.
When descending from the Sky onto Lanayru Desert, the closest bird monument is the North Desert.
The trial entrance should be visible from the bird monument. Drop down and move towards the northern warehouse. Play the Goddess Harp where the Blessed Butterflies gather.
The Silent Realm exists in a spiritual dimension where no gear, items, or other tools may be used, not even your sword. This leaves Link with no means of defense or offense.
For these trials, the player's familiarity with the environment, and natural interactions with the surroundings will be tested.
In each Silent Realm, Link will be tasked to collect 15 sacred tears scattered around the area. They'll have to be gathered carefully since Watchers will be on patrol to alert the Guardians to your presence. Guardians on the other hand will hunt you down trying to prevent you from achieving your goal.
Keep in mind, collected sacred tears will show up on your map. So succeeding runs will usually be easier than the first.
Alerted Guardians will pursue Link in whatever way they can. They will even pass through walls. Link should be fast enough to outrun them, but since stamina is limited, it's only a matter of time before they catch up to you.
For each tear that is collected, the Guardians will become peaceful and will stop chasing Link for 90 seconds. The flower on the upper left corner of the screen will serve as a countdown of your safety. When all the petals wither, The Guardians will begin to pursue Link again.
The safest way to complete each trial is by making sure each tear is collected soon after another. Plan out a route where you can make sure that each drop is picked up within 90 seconds of each other.
The other type of creature that can be found in the Silent Realm is the Watcher. If you step into their light, they will alert all of the Guardians in the area regardless of how recently you picked up a tear.
There are two types of Watchers. Sky Watchers float back and forth on the same route, while Earth Watchers are typically stationary and will chase Link when he gets close.
Sometimes you can risk getting detected by a Watcher as long as you know you can pick up a tear soon to calm the Guardians down.
Any part of the map that used to have water will instead have Waking Water when in the Silent Realm. Making contact with Waking Water alerts Guardians immediately and will trigger their pursuit of Link. Avoid touching Waking Water to prevent unnecessary difficulty.
In addition, Waking Water may also appear in places that didn't have water on the original map.
Aside from the tears, another item you can collect in the Silent Realm is the Light Fruit. These little white orbs will enable you to see beacons above the positions of Sacred Tears for 30 seconds. This should give you an idea of the general direction of where the remaining tears are.
The Silent Realm will not revert to the regular world even after you collect all 15 tears. You'll also have to safely return to the starting point. Don't worry, Guardians will not activate after 90 seconds anymore. However, if a Watcher spots you, you'll still have to avoid getting caught.
