The Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower is located near the entrance of the Gerudo Desert, but it’s not working when you visit it. The Skyview Towers in this game are used to defog the map and as fast-travel portals. Some towers require you to solve puzzles to get them working. In the case of the Gerudo Canyon one, you’ll need to use the Ultrahand ability to solve a puzzle and make it work. In this guide, we will mention exactly how.
How To Fix Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom
The Gerudo Canyon area is dark on the map since the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower is not working. To fix this tower, look for an NPC called Sawson near the coordinates (-2148, -2191, 0302). Sawson will fix the tower but he needs help fixing the lift. Go near the tower and you’ll find some metal boxes and platforms made of wooden planks.
To unlock the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower:
- Use the Ultrahand ability to lift a platform.
- Then, turn to the left and attach the platform to the lift.
- Now, use the ability again to pick up the metal boxes and attach them to the platform on the lift.
- The lift will rise once you add enough weight, lifting Sawson to the tower.
- Interact with him and he will unlock the tower for you.
Alternatively, you can also fix it by attaching the three metal boxes to each other. Then, pick those three boxes at once and use them as a counterweight. Once you activate the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower, the surrounding area will reveal on the map. Moreover, you can also use it as a portal for fast travel.
