Mayanas Shrine (The Ice Guides You) in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) can be unlocked by completing The South Lanayru Sky Crystal Shrine Quest in the Lanayru Sea Sky Region. Read on to learn how to unlock Mayanas Shrine, its location, puzzle solution, as well as all treasure chest locations in Mayanas Shrine!
List of Contents
Mayanas Shrine can be found on one of the islands at the South Lanayru Sky Archipelago in the Lanayru Sea Sky Region, but it will stay hidden until you've completed The South Lanayru Sky Crystal Shrine Quest.
The exact coordinates of the Mayanas Shrine is at 4613, -0947, 1790.
You can reach the Shrine quicker by launching yourself skyward from the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower and gliding northeast.
This is a Puzzle type Shrine, so you need to solve the puzzle to reach the end and get a Light of Blessing.
Try to look around the area to find a way to move forward, and remember to use Link's Ultrahand, Ascend, or Recall abilities!
All Abilities and How to Unlock
Fast travel to Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower and launch yourself skyward to reach South Lanayru Sky Archipelago.
Upon reaching the skies, glide northeast and land on one of the nearby sky islands.
There are ready-made flying devices on each island marked on the map above. Use these devices to hop on the different islands eastward until you reach the island Mayanas Shrine is on.
Upon reaching Mayanas Shrine, examine its terminal to start “The South Hyrule Sky Crystal“ Shrine Quest.
After unlocking “The South Hyrule Sky Crystal“ Shrine Quest, go to the easternmost part of the island where you'll find a ready-made hoverboard.
Use Ultrahand to grab the hoverboard nearby and place it safely on an elevated edge just below the higher island.
Afterwards, hop onto the hoverboard, and use its steering wheel to navigate it towards direction of the beam.
Once you've reached a high enough altitude, look for a bunch of wooden vines by a ledge and jump onto it.
Next, cut the wooden vines with a bladed weapon to expose a room. Venture into the room deeper and cut another set of wooden vines to expose the green crystal.
Create a flying vehicle using the Zonai Wing, Sled, Fans, Steering Stick, and Batteries nearby. Then, grab the green crystal from the back room, and attach it on top of your flying vehicle.
Bring your flying vehicle to the edge of the cliff, and start controlling the Steering Stick. Carefully navigate the vehicle to where the shrine is, then hop off and take the green crystal to Mayanas Shrine.
This completes the Shrine Quest “The South Hyrule Sky Crystal“ and unlocks Mayanas Shrine.
In this Shrine, the objective is to hit the moving targets using ice plates.
The first step you need to do is to create ice plates by throwing Ice Fruit into the water or by directing the Frost Emitters towards the water.
Make sure to create multiple ice plates, since hitting the moving target up ahead takes a bit of trial and error.
Grab one of the ice plates using Ultrahand, and slide it down the ramp up ahead. Time it well so that the ice plate hits the moving target!
Hitting the moving target opens the door to the altar chamber. However, you can go past the altar for now, and go straight to the back of the room where a chest is waiting for you.
Just like in the previous room, you need to hit the target past the spikes to open the door to the room with the chest.
Create multiple ice plates using Ice Fruits just like you did in the first room.
Next, use Ultrahand to make a long platform using the square metal plates nearby.
Then, take it to the spiky platform and place it in a slanted position near the right wall. Try to place it as far as possible as well! This will serve as a guide for the ice plate you'll drop down the ramp later on.
Grab an ice plate using Ultrahand, and drop it down the ramp near the right wall. Make sure that it hits the metal platform you made earlier so it slides to the left and hits the target below the spikes.
This will take a couple of tries, so do not hesitate to experiment with the metal platform's position and where you decide to drop the ice plates.
Once the target has been hit, the door to the chest opens. Open the chest to receive a Mighty Zonaite Shield, then go to the altar to receive a Light of Blessing.
Chest Location | Chest Contents |
---|---|
To unlock the room of the chest, create an ice plate inside the altar chamber, and slide it down the spiky platform so it hits the target up ahead.
You can use Ultrahand to attach the nearby square metal plates and create a long platform. You can then place this platform in a slanted position by the right wall of the spiky platform so it guides the ice plate to the target.
This allows you to get the chest containing a Mighty Zonaite Shield.
