Soryatonog Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom might be in plain sight, but solving it isn’t easy by any means. Zonai Devices are a fantastic addition to the Zelda franchise. You’ve got fans to make you fly up, balloons to traverse the sky, and flame emitters to look badass. And then there are Mirrors, which we guess are also good for something. The “Buried Light” Shrine tests your creativity by making you use familiar and unfamiliar Zonai Devices in ways you’d never expected. Though learning these mechanics will prove helpful in your gameplay, it’s easy to feel puzzled when trying to complete this Shrine.
How To Find Soryatonog Shrine Location in Tears of the Kingdom
You’ll find Soryatonog Shrine in Gerudo Town above the throne room. Though it’ll be hard to spot the town while the sandstorm is still clouding your vision, you can throw yourself into the sand tornadoes in the Gerudo Desert to fly upwards and catch a glimpse of your surroundings. Once you get there, the Buried Light Shrine will await you.
