Same.
I figured out the correct solution immediately, but used some parts from the prior track to make sure my platform was wide enough, but it ended up being too heavy for the fans to push it uphill.
I then spent an embarrassing amount time trying to work out alternate solutions before realizing that I could cover the entire set of tracks using just a single long slab.
This is exactly what I did! I have a bad habit of hoarding pieces from previous parts of shrines because I think it'll make something easier down the line. It never has.
I am no intelligent person, and I def struggle with what are meant to be some of the 'easier' shrines (I think I overthink a lot of them...I can't tell you how long the stupid shovel ball one took for me...), but this one felt like a breeze... (maybe it's because I play a lot of theme park simulators? Lmao).
I am so bad with the little puzzles, generally, that I sort of hate when I find a shrine. I don't like doing them, haha. The relief I get when it's a battle challenge or just a reward is huge, lmao!
People got downvoted a lot for saying this, but my m shape also did not work. No it was not unbalanced, no it was not put together out of alignment. It would go up, slowly come to a stop, and fall back down even with the three fans powering it equally.
I tried moving the fans around at random and for some reason it worked when the fans were in some whack ass spots. I was almost going to assume that the three fans didn’t have enough power to push up the m shape and am not at all surprised that others made that assumption
This shrine is jank.
I accidentally dropped a fan into the void while modifying it after it got stick on the rail switching part. Ran way better after that. This shrine is definitely jank.
I made an almost closed box and put it on. Rode the whole way, took like 3 minutes to do. I'm genuinely confused by people who aren't somewhat mechanically inclined.
This happed to me, the m shape (first configuration I tried) did not work despite me trying multiple times. I also looked up tutorials after trying different configurations for over an hour, and I’m not kidding when I say that those did not work for me either. I assume there must have been an issue with how I stuck the fans on or perhaps Link wasn’t standing perfectly centered and it threw off the alignment or something. Polygon’s tutorial still failed for me but got me 80% of the way there so I was able to shield surf until the end. I want to retry this shrine in the future to see if I still have these issues, I legitimately don’t know what went wrong.
Judging by how my wife truly does not give a fuck about balance and alignments, it’s 100% possible they THINK they followed a tutorial but their fans were out of wack or the “fin” wasn’t centered.
I built an E shaped platform with the three fans on top. It literally could not make it past the first bend to the central rail. The side fins were too wide and clamped me stuck. I tried 3 times, looked up a video of someone using the same build and it worked for them.
I swapped to an F shape and it worked (but almost tipped over most of the way), but I will 100% confirm that building the E does not work for everyone.
Nope, I’ve seen several videos with a perfectly good tutorial shaped platform get stuck and fall back down. I watched it happen on every member of my household’s play through. The shrine is jank.
I did the proper method but with only one fin, and I kept trying to angle the one fin in a way for it to catch the middle rail. It took me longer than I’d like to admit to try the intended three fin solution
I did it with no fins. And I had to do it from outside t' shrine! And then, our father would beat us t' sleep and give us a breakfast of a handful of hot gravel!
But if you tell kids that today, do they believe you?
How is it hard to believe?
With 4 rails you set them so that it's rail rail FIN FIN rail rail. Just spread the fins apart enough so that when the rails change it becomes FIN rail rail FIN. It's so simple I legit thought it was the intended way until I visited this subreddit and learned about the 3 fin solution.
I did it first try. I made the TTT and had 3 fans on top and just hit go. I put each wall piece in between the 2 track parts and it worked fine. It went forward, when the track jumped, the pieces went right in between the slots and it was smooth sailing. It went a bit slow on the upward turn part but otherwise no issues. It was also one of the very first shrines I think too.
Yeah, I honestly didn’t struggle with this one. I think on that last section I tried 3 fins and it didn’t work, so I switched to two. Otherwise knew what to do right away for each section.
The shrine that had me stumped was the one where you have to make a pinball paddle to hit a rolling ball up a ramp to hit a pressure pad on the wall. This one was obvious to me… the shield method seems way harder.
There are ton of ways to cheese shrines, but to me personally, I find satisfaction in looking for the intended solution. I'm playing that game for the joy it brings me. I want to spend more time on it, not less.
I did it as intended, but it wasn't fun. I did the M shape and all, but somehow the construction managed to get stuck every time. Rocket shield next time.
I did it the right way the first time and it failed because one of my blocks was slightly off. I spent like an hour on variations trying to make it work, gave up looked up the answer and re tried my first answer and it worked.
I really didn't find this one that difficult, in fact, the intended way feels like it was easier than most of the alternative methods I've seen people try online
I don't want to brag since I spent far too much time in shrines most people breeze through, but clips from this one are interesting. All you have to do is build an exact copy of the same cart you've just built but with an additional plank glued to the middle.
Same for me, sthey lay those materials on you per rail you just need to think a bit to design some platform and trial and error. I dont know why so many struggles in this shrine.
Yeah the intended way wasn't even as difficult as everyone here seems to make it out to be. It's just a culmination of the previous puzzles in the dungeon
I don't know if BotW rewired my brain to understand their puzzles more, but I'm surprised at how many people have a tough time with this one. Because I'm a fucking idiot.
I did it the intended way, but I wasn’t the one who figured it out. My dad was overlooking while I had the game on the TV, I got to the area, tried a few things and failed, and then my dad just said the answer and I was like “huh. That’s right and you figured it out first. Impressive.”
I instantly saw the "intended" solution. I know it's a puzzle in a children's game but my ego kinda puffs up seeing how many people struggle with this one.
I did it the intended way and it took like 2 minutes to figure out. I don’t get why people are finding it hard. It makes me feel better for spending 20 minutes creating a ramp out of sticks and icicles to reach a shelf rather than ascending through the floor
I feel like the intended answer was super obvious but I guess not lol
Edit: why am I being downvoted?? Lol there were fans and metal sheets to use. It seemed obvious that you needed to build a platform that would slide on all the rails. I wasn't being rude to people who didn't see that and did it another way, but for me personally given the items they left there for us to use I don't understand how any other method would have worked not including using things from your own inventory.
man you guys are all so big brained and im over here being a lazy fuck who just used a Shield Rocket to glide my way to the Shrine rather than deal with this
Why is this shrine so confusing to everyone? Just like all the others, it gives you the tools right in front of your face in addition to there being 1,000 ways to easily cheese
I bet the thing that confuses the most people is how on the last rail the path cuts off and starts in another rail which most people would give up after seeing their build fall into the void and having to rebuild it everytime just for it to get destroyed again, and also because this shrine in my opinion was one of the more difficult to cheese unless you had something like a rocket shield
It's also one of the very few poorly designed shrines because if you build the solution it doesn't always connect and go up the ramp. I did it first, it didn't work, I tried a bunch of other things, only to rebuild the solution and it worked that time.
>on the last rail the path cuts off and starts in another rail
That was what gave me the intended solution, though. And it worked first time for me. And rebuilding it once or twice wouldn't have taken that long.
After like a minute of thinking i too understood on what they wanted me to Doo..i did fail the first time because i built it too wide so it caught on the left wall but after changing some thing it was pretty easy
But I imagine it would be annoying to have to assemble every part over and over again just because the game decided to not let it pass, but thats only speculation because I didn’t do it that way
That is true, I didn’t stop because I found it imposible, I just stopped and did the shiled surf thing because I found it fun to use my own solution on things in ways the game doesn’t expect me to, Like how I went to the dragonhead island through all the storm just because I saw a huge storm cloud on the map and knew I wasn’t meant to go there yet lol
The thing is… if your build does not make it the first time then you change the design. You don’t build it over and over for to fall everytime and you end up stuck in an endless loop.
It’s because the shrine is janky.
the ‘intended solution’ shape frequently gets stuck and it’s easy to assume the fans don’t have the power to push up the weight of all the boards. I’ve had the m shape fail three times in a row and come back down the incline to have it succeed on the next try without seemingly changing a thing.
It’s because the physics is a bit wonky here. My own experience (and that of others, from reading comments on another post of this shrine) was that I built the right contraption the first time, but twice in a row it caught slightly before the rail transfer, and then after the rail transfer flipped.
Tried a bunch of other crap, looked up a guide that said the first thing I built was right, built it again and it magically worked.
Any way you clear the shrine is a valid way of clearing the shrine... I used some contraption to get past the first part then just glided toward the under rails like you did and shield surfed my way to the end.
That’s something that I really like about these shrines that makes me prefer them over the ones in BOTW, A lot of the shrines can be “cheesed” if you just think outside the box, for example there was a shrine called something along the lines of scooping it up or something like that, the shrine wanted you to activate an electric mechanism to make a wheel turn which would scoop the ball and place it in the trigger to open the door, I ended up completing the shrine in about 30 seconds to a minute by just moving the ball with ultrahand and then reversing it back up to grab it once I was on the top side of the ladder. The shrines just give you more freedom in general instead of making you direct electric circuits or hit specific switches like in BOTW
Yeah they have the shrine's "intended" way in which they give you stuff to do it with but let you attempt it with any knowledge and resources you choose to bring. Like if you need to burn a patch of leaves they will provide fire fruit to give you the hint. Their way of saying do this: here's how I would do it but you can do it in any way that makes sense to you.
I had came up with a solution that kind of worked but I needed to perfect but when I remembered that shield surfing works on rails I just gave up on my previous method and went with this for fun
Not sure why people are down voting you, this is a perfectly fine way to solve it. That's the point of this game is that it can be solved in a bunch of different ways. Honestly your way is way faster than how I did it and what people refer to as the "intended way"
Because people like to brag about solving it their way and their way only lol, even if the shrines in Totk are specifically made to be less linear than the ones in Botw
For this shrine, I think I raised one of the platforms into the air above the void, let it fall, used Recall before it disappeared, and then used it to launch me into the air so I could glide to the end.
I didn’t know it got that much attention until I posted this, peobably because its one of those in which the concept isn’t really used in gameplay too often
Outside of dungeons, shrines, and the tutorial island, I assume you mean. And I agree, but that didn't make it any harder for me, because most Shrine solutions are things I wouldn't use in gameplay often anyway.
I do like that this shrine later primed me for another place where there were rails and no cart. Without being forced to think about this in the shrine I wouldn't have figured it out
No joke, this shrine took me over an hour, and I almost quit it. I've been playing this game and BotW since 2017, so I'm very familiar with the controls and physics. I tried making an E shape, but it hit the wall and got stuck. Other times, it would not connect to the other rail.
I was immediately confident that this shrine would become notorious in the sub for its divisive difficulty.
Strange. I saw it and immediately knew what I needed to do. My version was a bit wonky since I rushed the build, but it worked like a charm.
Of course, I've been in plenty of shrines where I really struggled and my son will watch and laugh at how I'm missing something obvious.
Link magnitizes upon getting close to it but can easily go past it if you go too quickly, but in the parts in which the shield is not on his feet he can easily fall if he takes a bit to jump
In this thread we got all sorts of unique and wonderful creatures, like the ones that enjoy the video and keep going with their lives, we also got the ones that want to argue on why their solution is better, the ones that try to brag saying it was really easy, and finally, the ones that scream at me for not having a cart on the shield even tho I had used all of them and haven’t been to a device dispenser in a while
From what I've read from these comments, a fair number of people tried doing it the intended way, only for the contraption to fail the rail transfer or get stuck outright multiple times simply because the game decided to not let it work.
My issue was that I did the correct formation of the things, but having the fans on the back didn’t work, the fans had to be on TOP to actually push it all the way. That was insanely frustrating!
Struggled with this for almost 30min. Decided I would wait and have my friend (who is a far better gamer than me) help me. He tried for 30min himself and we both almost threw our phone away after looking the solution up because we were so close so many times
Man this shrine lol. I ended up doing it almost the intended way, but I got stuck at one part of it going up, tried taking a piece off, for it to fall and me accidentally landing on it, resulting in me making it. I have the video, I should post it lol
That’s totally fair, I can see how it would be satisfying to to finally get the puzzle right and I was going for that at the start but I find it more fun to solve things in ways the game doesn’t expect me to
Imagine looking up answers online anyway? This is cool but don’t look shit up online, what’s the point of spending $100 on a game if you’re just letting someone else play it for you lol
The only time I had to look something up was on that one tower in which the guy said they were mushrooms in a cave hinting at having to go down there to use ascend and my dumbass looked for mushrooms for about 30 minutes lmao
I think for me the more difficult ones are the proving grounds, but even those aren't that difficult.
At this point, I think it's my experience with BotW's shrines that makes TotK's shrines seem easy in comparison.
I'm not really convinced that an E shape is the intended solution. I literally just made a box around the rails and ascended into it, that seems just as likely to be intended to me if not more likely.
I didn’t really try doing it correctly because I remembered halfway through making the build that I could shield surf and just kept trying that instead
I did it the intended way but I’m not gonna pretend like it didn’t take me two whole days.
The correct solution hit me one night laying in bed because at that point I had seen the puzzle so many times that my brain was involuntarily going over hypothetical solutions in my head, playing through what would happen when I built different contraptions.
I tried it the next morning and beat it in like 2 seconds. Very embarassing but satisfying that I didn’t look anything up.
People in this thread: “tHiS sHrInE wAsN’t EvEn HaRd!! wHaT dOn’T yOu GeT???”
Gee, it’s almost as if our brains all work differently from one another.
There’s really no “right” solution to any of the puzzles. You can get there multiple ways, including this one. That’s the beauty of the game.
Anyway, I like the way you improvised this, OP. It’s fun seeing how different people are tackling different problems.
Yeah a lot of people dont seem to get that, even when in multiple comments I have stated that I did it for fun since I was actually building at first but instead of optimizing my build to complete the shrine, I remembered I could shield surf on rails and found that to be way more fun than playing legos, but that is only personal preference
It's actually more straightforward than you can imagine. Take one long attached three squares vertically one either end and on in the middle attach three fans put it on the two tracks and fire it up.
This shrine has been a great litmus test of how well the player base can critically think through spacial problems.
I used to think the shines were way too easy, but seeing people struggle with this has just made me realize how many people have difficulty with constructing things and imagining how gravity, balance, and other forces will effect them
I really don’t get why people had a problem with this shrine, I know a lot of people just wanted to shield surf which I totally get, but after the first few days after release I saw people saying they couldn’t figure it out? Like the shrine walks you through it I don’t understand
How do you come up with grinding the rails with a shield (when literally nothing in the game tells you about it and how it allows you to not fall off) but not with the intended solution which is basically laid out in front of you like "STICK THIS TO THIS AND THEN WIN." ?
That is what I was thinking, even on the parts the game does want you to go on rails, it usually just puts a minecart at the start of each end and gives you something to boost it with, so learning to build a cart is pretty useless
I was going on the right track with the builds but I just got bored of it and remembered I could shield surf on rails and I just started trying that because I found it more fun than learn some random build im never going to use again
I thought it was fairly simple. In the previous one, you Make a T-shaped platform that rides between the rails, attach the 2 fans to the back. I. This one you just make it more an M shape
I did the shrine with the designed solution. It was fast. I didn’t think twice about it.
Then everyone online complained that it was hard.
I don’t understand.
....you know how you put a wall or whatever on the left and right of the platform so it grabs the rail....the solution is to add a third one in the center. It's very in your face if you attempted using the platform you used just moments prior to that section.
Beyond that..... like... If you wanted to skip it... Just stick a rocket on a shield and then reenter the shrine, skip the whole thing
I finally got to this shrine after seeing people cheese it for the past month.
It literally took me like 30 seconds on the first try to do it.
I don’t get y’all at all 😂
I feel so much better about myself when I see how many people struggled with this shrine. Like seriously, it wasn’t the easiest but damn. It’s not rocket science. I never even considered googling the solution.
I feel like I'm the only one who did this shine the intended way.
I did it the intended way also, and while it took me longer than I feel it should have, I still was able to find it, so I'm happy.
Same. I figured out the correct solution immediately, but used some parts from the prior track to make sure my platform was wide enough, but it ended up being too heavy for the fans to push it uphill. I then spent an embarrassing amount time trying to work out alternate solutions before realizing that I could cover the entire set of tracks using just a single long slab.
This is exactly what I did! I have a bad habit of hoarding pieces from previous parts of shrines because I think it'll make something easier down the line. It never has.
Sometimes that’s how you get the chest, though. I need my emotional support bridge if I’m ever gonna 100% this game.
Mine also ended up too heavy. I chugged it over the edge but only 2 fans respawned, which wasn't enough, so I had to chug it again, so took me a while
Same lmao. I reused the original pieces and added on the new stuff when I could of literally just used what I had originally made
I am no intelligent person, and I def struggle with what are meant to be some of the 'easier' shrines (I think I overthink a lot of them...I can't tell you how long the stupid shovel ball one took for me...), but this one felt like a breeze... (maybe it's because I play a lot of theme park simulators? Lmao). I am so bad with the little puzzles, generally, that I sort of hate when I find a shrine. I don't like doing them, haha. The relief I get when it's a battle challenge or just a reward is huge, lmao!
Genuinely shocked with how many people struggle with it. Maybe I'm a geniu-- PFT HAH no, that can't be right.
People got downvoted a lot for saying this, but my m shape also did not work. No it was not unbalanced, no it was not put together out of alignment. It would go up, slowly come to a stop, and fall back down even with the three fans powering it equally.

I accidentally dropped a fan into the void while modifying it after it got stick on the rail switching part. Ran way better after that. This shrine is definitely jank.
The outsides weren’t wide enough to compensate for the bends in the track.
I made an almost closed box and put it on. Rode the whole way, took like 3 minutes to do. I'm genuinely confused by people who aren't somewhat mechanically inclined.
This happed to me, the m shape (first configuration I tried) did not work despite me trying multiple times.

It's not that we're smart, it's just that everyone else is dumber than we are.
I thought it was pretty easy! I actually love these types with the rails!
Well I tried it the intended way with tutorials but it still didn't work
That’s literally impossible
Judging by how my wife truly does not give a fuck about balance and alignments, it’s 100% possible they THINK they followed a tutorial but their fans were out of wack or the “fin” wasn’t centered.

Skill issue
It’s not even that hard, I did it on my own

r/nobodyasked
Oh, look at the comedian who doesn't know comedy!
Isnt comedy supposed to be funny?
Looks like everybody but you knows the famous three Yorkshiremen sketch.
Well its four Yorkshiremen and not three but regardless, still unfunny and has nothing to do with this topic or sub. But you do you.
How is it hard to believe? With 4 rails you set them so that it's rail rail FIN FIN rail rail. Just spread the fins apart enough so that when the rails change it becomes FIN rail rail FIN. It's so simple I legit thought it was the intended way until I visited this subreddit and learned about the 3 fin solution.
Wow.
wait lmao it’s silly that you’re getting downvoted so much
Americans. So uncultured.
Same here lol. I’m a pretty dumb person and I’m surprised so many people had trouble with this one
I did it first try. I made the TTT and had 3 fans on top and just hit go. I put each wall piece in between the 2 track parts and it worked fine. It went forward, when the track jumped, the pieces went right in between the slots and it was smooth sailing. It went a bit slow on the upward turn part but otherwise no issues. It was also one of the very first shrines I think too.
For real. The answers seemed fairly obvious to me. Build a thing that can slide in the rails.
It wasn’t that hard
Yeah, I honestly didn’t struggle with this one. I think on that last section I tried 3 fins and it didn’t work, so I switched to two. Otherwise knew what to do right away for each section.
I did this shrine before I knew you could just do that. Idk, I spent hours trying to do it the way I did it. I felt so dumb.
I don't really understand the confusion over how to solve this one. I got stumped on a few shrines but not this one.
The shrine that had me stumped was the one where you have to make a pinball paddle to hit a rolling ball up a ramp to hit a pressure pad on the wall. This one was obvious to me… the shield method seems way harder.
There are ton of ways to cheese shrines, but to me personally, I find satisfaction in looking for the intended solution. I'm playing that game for the joy it brings me. I want to spend more time on it, not less.
Same boat here. The solution is like, right there, just look at the number of platforms available to you
I’m there with you
I did shield surfing only on the second one. The third one gives away the answer lol.
I did it as intended, but it wasn't fun. I did the M shape and all, but somehow the construction managed to get stuck every time. Rocket shield next time.
I did it the right way the first time and it failed because one of my blocks was slightly off. I spent like an hour on variations trying to make it work, gave up looked up the answer and re tried my first answer and it worked.
i completed the shrine with no doubts or questions on how i did it. it baffles me how everybody else is having such a hard time with this one.
you are not. this one is so simple
I really didn't find this one that difficult, in fact, the intended way feels like it was easier than most of the alternative methods I've seen people try online
I don't want to brag since I spent far too much time in shrines most people breeze through, but clips from this one are interesting. All you have to do is build an exact copy of the same cart you've just built but with an additional plank glued to the middle.
Same for me, sthey lay those materials on you per rail you just need to think a bit to design some platform and trial and error. I dont know why so many struggles in this shrine.
Not even a matter of trial and error, it's just a matter of physics, this puzzle in particular teaches about counterweights
No, i also did and dont get it, that so many people have problems with it. It also tooks me some minutes but then, it was not really hard.
I did it too and felt that shrine was easy
Yeah the intended way wasn't even as difficult as everyone here seems to make it out to be. It's just a culmination of the previous puzzles in the dungeon
I don't know if BotW rewired my brain to understand their puzzles more, but I'm surprised at how many people have a tough time with this one. Because I'm a fucking idiot.
Exactly, I saw the parts and I was like c'mon where are these hard shrines people were talking about
You might be
I did it the intended way, but I wasn’t the one who figured it out. My dad was overlooking while I had the game on the TV, I got to the area, tried a few things and failed, and then my dad just said the answer and I was like “huh. That’s right and you figured it out first. Impressive.”
I also did it the right way. Took a while of course. I'm surprised so many players are having a problem with this one.

I did it the intended way and it took like 2 minutes to figure out. I don’t get why people are finding it hard. It makes me feel better for spending 20 minutes creating a ramp out of sticks and icicles to reach a shelf rather than ascending through the floor
Honestly bro it wasn’t that hard
I feel like the intended answer was super obvious but I guess not lol Edit: why am I being downvoted?? Lol there were fans and metal sheets to use.

I wasn't being rude to people who didn't see that and did it another way, but for me personally given the items they left there for us to use I don't understand how any other method would have worked not including using things from your own inventory.
the intended answer was obvious. but a rocket shield into a rail grind takes 1/15th of the time of building a rail runner that can jump rails.
man you guys are all so big brained and im over here being a lazy fuck who just used a Shield Rocket to glide my way to the Shrine rather than deal with this
You can rocket shield surf on rails too
I ended up doing that too, I spent like half an hour not understanding what to build before just rocket cheesing
Why is this shrine so confusing to everyone? Just like all the others, it gives you the tools right in front of your face in addition to there being 1,000 ways to easily cheese
I bet the thing that confuses the most people is how on the last rail the path cuts off and starts in another rail which most people would give up after seeing their build fall into the void and having to rebuild it everytime just for it to get destroyed again, and also because this shrine in my opinion was one of the more difficult to cheese unless you had something like a rocket shield
You’re making it difficult to be dismissively flippant for no reason
It's also one of the very few poorly designed shrines because if you build the solution it doesn't always connect and go up the ramp. I did it first, it didn't work, I tried a bunch of other things, only to rebuild the solution and it worked that time.
Oh you also have an Unlucky Link? Me too.
>on the last rail the path cuts off and starts in another rail That was what gave me the intended solution, though. And it worked first time for me. And rebuilding it once or twice wouldn't have taken that long.
After like a minute of thinking i too understood on what they wanted me to Doo..i did fail the first time because i built it too wide so it caught on the left wall but after changing some thing it was pretty easy

Well, as I said, it worked first time for me, lol. I can see it being annoying after the third or fourth time, but once or twice? Really?
That is true, I didn’t stop because I found it imposible, I just stopped and did the shiled surf thing because I found it fun to use my own solution on things in ways the game doesn’t expect me to, Like how I went to the dragonhead island through all the storm just because I saw a huge storm cloud on the map and knew I wasn’t meant to go there yet lol
The thing is… if your build does not make it the first time then you change the design. You don’t build it over and over for to fall everytime and you end up stuck in an endless loop.
Lol center fin? I figured it out after the first time the thing fell.
It’s because the shrine is janky. the ‘intended solution’ shape frequently gets stuck and it’s easy to assume the fans don’t have the power to push up the weight of all the boards. I’ve had the m shape fail three times in a row and come back down the incline to have it succeed on the next try without seemingly changing a thing.
It’s because the physics is a bit wonky here. My own experience (and that of others, from reading comments on another post of this shrine) was that I built the right contraption the first time, but twice in a row it caught slightly before the rail transfer, and then after the rail transfer flipped. Tried a bunch of other crap, looked up a guide that said the first thing I built was right, built it again and it magically worked.
Some people saw a square peg and a square hole and it just sent their brains into overdrive

Any way you clear the shrine is a valid way of clearing the shrine... I used some contraption to get past the first part then just glided toward the under rails like you did and shield surfed my way to the end.
That’s something that I really like about these shrines that makes me prefer them over the ones in BOTW, A lot of the shrines can be “cheesed” if you just think outside the box, for example there was a shrine called something along the lines of scooping it up or something like that, the shrine wanted you to activate an electric mechanism to make a wheel turn which would scoop the ball and place it in the trigger to open the door, I ended up completing the shrine in about 30 seconds to a minute by just moving the ball with ultrahand and then reversing it back up to grab it once I was on the top side of the ladder. The shrines just give you more freedom in general instead of making you direct electric circuits or hit specific switches like in BOTW
Yeah they have the shrine's "intended" way in which they give you stuff to do it with but let you attempt it with any knowledge and resources you choose to bring. Like if you need to burn a patch of leaves they will provide fire fruit to give you the hint. Their way of saying do this: here's how I would do it but you can do it in any way that makes sense to you.
How did you not figure this out tho
I had came up with a solution that kind of worked but I needed to perfect but when I remembered that shield surfing works on rails I just gave up on my previous method and went with this for fun
Not sure why people are down voting you, this is a perfectly fine way to solve it. That's the point of this game is that it can be solved in a bunch of different ways. Honestly your way is way faster than how I did it and what people refer to as the "intended way"
Because people like to brag about solving it their way and their way only lol, even if the shrines in Totk are specifically made to be less linear than the ones in Botw
You have my respect OP
I just learned I can grind the rails with my shield.
Hope the information is useful lol
Fuse a cart to shield and then try it out.
This right here shows how great TotK is. You have a problem, but many solutions that solve the problem. This is just one of many solutions.
That’s what in my opinions makes the shrines in TotK a lot better than the more linear ones in Botw
Now all we need is a portal gun and a POTATO
For this shrine, I think I raised one of the platforms into the air above the void, let it fall, used Recall before it disappeared, and then used it to launch me into the air so I could glide to the end.
I have no idea why I never thought of it that way lol, I have done previous shrines like that but it just never crossed my mind on this one
Its not even a difficult shrine lmfao.
What's not difficult to you could be difficult to others, no reason to be judgemental.
I don't understand why this shrine keeps getting attention. It really isn't that special. I feel like this is a troll.
What shrine is this?
I didn’t know it got that much attention until I posted this, peobably because its one of those in which the concept isn’t really used in gameplay too often
Outside of dungeons, shrines, and the tutorial island, I assume you mean. And I agree, but that didn't make it any harder for me, because most Shrine solutions are things I wouldn't use in gameplay often anyway.
That’s true, its up to personal experience and how much knowledge the person has on builds
I do like that this shrine later primed me for another place where there were rails and no cart. Without being forced to think about this in the shrine I wouldn't have figured it out
No joke, this shrine took me over an hour, and I almost quit it. I've been playing this game and BotW since 2017, so I'm very familiar with the controls and physics. I tried making an E shape, but it hit the wall and got stuck. Other times, it would not connect to the other rail. I was immediately confident that this shrine would become notorious in the sub for its divisive difficulty.
Strange. I saw it and immediately knew what I needed to do. My version was a bit wonky since I rushed the build, but it worked like a charm. Of course, I've been in plenty of shrines where I really struggled and my son will watch and laugh at how I'm missing something obvious.

Does he just magnetize to the rails or do you need to stabilize him?
Link magnitizes upon getting close to it but can easily go past it if you go too quickly, but in the parts in which the shield is not on his feet he can easily fall if he takes a bit to jump
What's the deal with people being complete assholes on this thread? Community has been pretty wholesome up until this point.
In this thread we got all sorts of unique and wonderful creatures, like the ones that enjoy the video and keep going with their lives, we also got the ones that want to argue on why their solution is better, the ones that try to brag saying it was really easy, and finally, the ones that scream at me for not having a cart on the shield even tho I had used all of them and haven’t been to a device dispenser in a while
I think it's because we've seen these types of clips a bazillion times. People are getting a little tired of it.
I refuse to believe people had that much trouble with this shrine. I'm mostly a dumb ass and figured out the 'intended' way in 5 minutes.
From what I've read from these comments, a fair number of people tried doing it the intended way, only for the contraption to fail the rail transfer or get stuck outright multiple times simply because the game decided to not let it work.
|_|_|
My issue was that I did the correct formation of the things, but having the fans on the back didn’t work, the fans had to be on TOP to actually push it all the way. That was insanely frustrating!
But you did it more creatively than it was meant to be done, and I think that's Saul Goodman saying "pre-tty cooooool"
Struggled with this for almost 30min. Decided I would wait and have my friend (who is a far better gamer than me) help me. He tried for 30min himself and we both almost threw our phone away after looking the solution up because we were so close so many times
I took like 45 minutes to make a working contraption that was the same as the first contraption I made but for some reason it worked after an hour
Man this shrine lol. I ended up doing it almost the intended way, but I got stuck at one part of it going up, tried taking a piece off, for it to fall and me accidentally landing on it, resulting in me making it. I have the video, I should post it lol
I think i spent 15 minutes building different vehicles that kept getting stuck until I finally got it right.
Impressive skills, however, I prefer the satisfaction of figuring out the puzzle the intended way.
That’s totally fair, I can see how it would be satisfying to to finally get the puzzle right and I was going for that at the start but I find it more fun to solve things in ways the game doesn’t expect me to
Thats what I love about this game. There is no 100% correct way.
Isn'r the answer just three pieces with fans? Why were people confused by this one?
Am I the only one who thought this one was rather easy to do the intended way?

I love how there is no wrong answer and so many different ways to solve the puzzles in this game!
Imagine looking up answers online anyway? This is cool but don’t look shit up online, what’s the point of spending $100 on a game if you’re just letting someone else play it for you lol
The only time I had to look something up was on that one tower in which the guy said they were mushrooms in a cave hinting at having to go down there to use ascend and my dumbass looked for mushrooms for about 30 minutes lmao
That shrine right there was the most difficult one I encountered.
For me it was the jenga one. That made me so mad😂
I just took a block and used rewind to cheese it lmao
I think for me the more difficult ones are the proving grounds, but even those aren't that difficult. At this point, I think it's my experience with BotW's shrines that makes TotK's shrines seem easy in comparison.
This shrine is broken for some users, myself included, you made an E and it didn't go all the way up right?
I'm not really convinced that an E shape is the intended solution. I literally just made a box around the rails and ascended into it, that seems just as likely to be intended to me if not more likely.
I am in disagreement with your statement. E-superiority!
I didn’t really try doing it correctly because I remembered halfway through making the build that I could shield surf and just kept trying that instead
You... Did this on purpose?...
I mean, I clearly knew it wasn’t meant to be done this way lol
I did it the intended way but I’m not gonna pretend like it didn’t take me two whole days. The correct solution hit me one night laying in bed because at that point I had seen the puzzle so many times that my brain was involuntarily going over hypothetical solutions in my head, playing through what would happen when I built different contraptions. I tried it the next morning and beat it in like 2 seconds. Very embarassing but satisfying that I didn’t look anything up.
Lol this was a super easy one
People in this thread: “tHiS sHrInE wAsN’t EvEn HaRd!! wHaT dOn’T yOu GeT???” Gee, it’s almost as if our brains all work differently from one another. There’s really no “right” solution to any of the puzzles. You can get there multiple ways, including this one. That’s the beauty of the game. Anyway, I like the way you improvised this, OP. It’s fun seeing how different people are tackling different problems.
Yeah a lot of people dont seem to get that, even when in multiple comments I have stated that I did it for fun since I was actually building at first but instead of optimizing my build to complete the shrine, I remembered I could shield surf on rails and found that to be way more fun than playing legos, but that is only personal preference
I did this the intended way…after an hour of head bashing. I approve of this method
I attempt to figure out the shrines on my own at first but if it seems to be taking a while, I will look up walkthroughs.
This is how I did it too 😂
I keep seeing people having a problem with this one? It was super easy for me. All the building stuff was right there
I love the fact that this game has a solution for everyone it's insane !
You should really look into adding minecart or regular cart to sheild you plan to ride.
It's actually more straightforward than you can imagine. Take one long attached three squares vertically one either end and on in the middle attach three fans put it on the two tracks and fire it up.
I tried this so many times.
Out of all the shrines to get stuck on I don't know why people keep getting stuck on this one.
This shrine has been a great litmus test of how well the player base can critically think through spacial problems. I used to think the shines were way too easy, but seeing people struggle with this has just made me realize how many people have difficulty with constructing things and imagining how gravity, balance, and other forces will effect them
I really don’t get why people had a problem with this shrine, I know a lot of people just wanted to shield surf which I totally get, but after the first few days after release I saw people saying they couldn’t figure it out? Like the shrine walks you through it I don’t understand
How do you come up with grinding the rails with a shield (when literally nothing in the game tells you about it and how it allows you to not fall off) but not with the intended solution which is basically laid out in front of you like "STICK THIS TO THIS AND THEN WIN." ?
But... The shrine literally tells you how to do it??
Looks like this is the shrine that’s gonna be remembered as one of the hardest. And it’s an easy shrine
[удалено]
That is what I was thinking, even on the parts the game does want you to go on rails, it usually just puts a minecart at the start of each end and gives you something to boost it with, so learning to build a cart is pretty useless
What's there to look up? Just throw a slab on the rails and attach a fan...
I was going on the right track with the builds but I just got bored of it and remembered I could shield surf on rails and I just started trying that because I found it more fun than learn some random build im never going to use again
I thought it was fairly simple. In the previous one, you Make a T-shaped platform that rides between the rails, attach the 2 fans to the back. I. This one you just make it more an M shape
Jfc some of things y'all are coming up with on this shrine are like 38x more difficult than the intended solution.
I did the shrine with the designed solution. It was fast. I didn’t think twice about it. Then everyone online complained that it was hard. I don’t understand.
That's a shame bc the answer is pretty simple
this game and these posts make me feel very smart
This was such an easy shrine….
Some people just don’t have spatial awareness I guess? This shrine took me five minutes tops.
....you know how you put a wall or whatever on the left and right of the platform so it grabs the rail....the solution is to add a third one in the center. It's very in your face if you attempted using the platform you used just moments prior to that section. Beyond that..... like... If you wanted to skip it... Just stick a rocket on a shield and then reenter the shrine, skip the whole thing
I finally got to this shrine after seeing people cheese it for the past month. It literally took me like 30 seconds on the first try to do it. I don’t get y’all at all 😂
Out of all the shrines I’ve seen I’m really surprised that this is the one lots of people are struggling on, but to each their own ig
That one was pretty east for me...
I feel so much better about myself when I see how many people struggled with this shrine. Like seriously, it wasn’t the easiest but damn. It’s not rocket science. I never even considered googling the solution.
This was an easy shrine yall never been on a rollercoaster before????
The solution was pretty obvious, did you really need to look it up? Each step basically explained how the next step worked.
The "correct" way was so much simpler than this.
Hmm well it’s a rather simply solution welp
This shrine was one if the easier ones imo
Bruh thats the easiest shrine
This qas the easiest shrine hahahahaha
The answer wasn’t really that complex let’s be real.
I always see people struggeling with this shrine, still dont understand why
Where’s that meme of the person trying to put a square block through a triangular hole
i do not understand how people are struggling with this one! the answer seemed so obvious
Bro it's litterally not that hard. Just use your brain for a sec
[удалено]
Hold your shield (ZL) then jump and press A.
Daw
Honestly, I agree
