The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Joju-u-u Shrine Guide

The Joju-u-u Shrine (1516, -3576, 0142) in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is located in the East Faron region near the southern coast of Hyrule. This shrine, visible from afar due to its high placement on a cliff above the Lakeside Stable, is a convenient fast travel point for the surrounding area. Here’s a guide to help you conquer the Joju-u-u Shrine and earn your rewards.

Shrine Challenge: Building Bridges

The main challenge in Joju-u-u Shrine, called Building Bridges, involves using the Ultrahand ability to connect objects and create pathways. Here’s a step-by-step guide to solving it:

1. Entering the Shrine: Upon entering, you’ll see that the shrine requires you to create bridges using various wooden planks and platforms provided within the puzzle area.

2. First Bridge:

   • Find a set of long wooden planks near the initial platform.

   • Use Ultrahand to pick up a plank, then position it to bridge the gap to the next platform.

   • Adjust the angle and alignment carefully to ensure it’s secure, then cross to the other side.

3. Second Gap:

   • For the second section, you’ll likely find multiple planks of various lengths.

   • If one plank isn’t long enough, try attaching two planks end-to-end using Ultrahand to create a longer bridge.

   • Attach the planks carefully, ensuring they are straight and aligned, so they don’t collapse under Link’s weight.

   • Cross once your bridge is stable.

4. Final Challenge – Larger Gap:

   • The last section might have a wider gap or a more complex layout. Look around for any nearby materials to extend the bridge.

   • If you need extra support, try building with multiple layers of planks, or secure them by anchoring the ends on raised ground if available.

   • Carefully cross the final bridge to reach the end of the shrine.

Shrine Rewards

Upon completing the Building Bridges challenge, you’ll receive a chest containing Large Zonaite, a valuable resource for crafting and upgrading Zonai devices.

Tips for Success

• Ultrahand Precision: Ensure that each plank is securely in place before crossing, as poorly aligned bridges can collapse.

• Experiment with Materials: Don’t hesitate to get creative! If one bridge design fails, try different plank combinations or build support structures.

• Watch Your Step: Once you’ve placed the bridge, move cautiously across it to avoid slipping or toppling any unsecured planks.

  
  

With this approach, the Joju-u-u Shrine should be a fun and rewarding puzzle to complete, and you’ll be one step closer to mastering the art of Zonai engineering!
