How to Complete Sonapan Shrine

By
Shane Williams

Shrines are one of the core gameplay elements in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Scattered throughout Hyrule, shrines typically require you to solve some sort of puzzle or combat trial, upon the completion of which you’ll be rewarded with a "Light of Blessing" iconLight of Blessing and potentially equipment. Shrines can also serve as fast travel points - all you have to do is interact with them. Since completing shrines will make your character stronger and provide exploration footholds, it’s essential that you conquer them whenever possible. This page will provide a walkthrough for "Sonapan Shrine" iconSonapan Shrine.

Head to this location on the map to find Sonapan Shrine entrance.

Where to Find Sonapan Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom

You can attempt any of the 152 shrines at any point throughout your adventure in Hyrule. However, some shrines are located in areas which require you to equip specific types of armor or eat certain foods in order to combat the extreme temperatures. However, this isn’t something you need to worry about for this shrine, so you’ll want to fast travel to the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower and glide down to the west until you reach Satori Mountain. Here you’ll want to climb up to the top in order to reach the Sonapan Shrine entrance. If you haven’t got enough stamina, then use the ledges to reset your stamina bar before continuing.

How to Complete the Sonapan Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom

When you enter the Sonapan Shrine you’ll notice that there’s a large empty area with a ledge on the opposite side. Unfortunately, there’s no path you can use to reach it, so you’ll want to stand underneath the ledge and use the "Ascend" iconAscend Ability which was obtained via the Gutanbac Shrine to zoom up through the floor. Here you’ll face another raised area along with a chest on the left.

How to Get the Sonapan Shrine Chest

In order to reach the chest you’ll want to walk around to the area on the right and pick up the cube via the "Ultrahand" iconUltrahand ability, then carry it over to the small area on the left. Drop this cube for a moment and interact with the cube that’s attached to a rail and move it all the way over to the right. Now you’ll want to pick up the other cube and attach it to the corner of the cube you just moved. Ascend through it and drop down to the chest, then open it to claim some "Arrow" iconArrows!

(1 of 4) Attach the cube to corner of the other cube and ascend up to reach the chest.

You’ll now want to pick the cube up again and place it on top of the ledge, then ascend through the platform and cube to reach the stairs that leads to the final room. Move the cube on the left into the center of the water (underneath the small platform), then stand where the cube was previously located and use Ascend. From here, you’ll now want to glide down to the cube and use Ascend once more to reach the altar. Finally, interact with the altar to claim your Light of Blessing.
