The Legend of Zelda: TOTK Mogawak Shrine Guide & Solution

The turbine-themed Mogawak Shrine introduces a battery charging puzzle mechanic

The turbine-themed Mogawak Shrine introduces a battery charging puzzle mechanic to The Legend of Zelda: TOTK. This Zonai Shrine's solution may take some basic science knowledge to complete, but we’ll cover each of the ins and outs of Mogawak Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom in the following step-by-step walkthrough, including the optional chest.

Mogawak Shrine is located within Zora's Domain in the East of Hyrule, just underneath the bridge at the front entrance to the Zora homestead. If you’ve already got the map for this area unlocked at the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower, simply shoot up and paraglide your way eastward, you won't miss the green glow of the Zonai Shrine.

Watch out for the falling sludge too, it looks like the Zora's waters have been polluted – so if you’ve been following the Regional Phenomena main quest, the marker will also lead you straight to the Domain and Shrine.

Upon entry, you’ll see your goal both in front and above you. Head down into the chamber and you’ll see a lift with a fan attached to the bottom, along with a suspiciously placed cylinder. You’ll notice it's Ultrahand friendly, which means we’ll be finding a use for it.

With a fully charged battery, the first thing you’ll want to do is pick it up and turn right around towards the opposite side of the room for the optional chest solution. Here's what to do:

With the optional chest complete, all that's left is the simpler, main solution of Mogawak Shrine – the lift. Firstly, though, you’ve likely got a dead battery in need of a recharge, so do the following:

As usual, you’ll net yourself a Light of Blessing to put towards reclaiming your lost hearts and stamina from a Goddess Statue, and that's it for Mogawak Shrine in TOTK. For more Tears of the Kingdom Shrine walkthroughs, check out our Mayaumekis Shrine guide, or our Mayachin Shrine walkthrough.
