The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Jiukoum Shrine Guide

The Jiukoum Shrine (0867, -2280, 0141) in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is located near the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower in the Faron region. Positioned just east of the tower and visible in plain sight, this shrine offers a unique rail-based puzzle titled "Built for Rails." Here’s how to complete the shrine and earn your Sticky Elixir reward.

Shrine Challenge: Built for Rails

In the Built for Rails challenge, you’ll navigate through the shrine by creating rail carts or using other rail-based mechanisms to move forward. This challenge focuses on creative use of the Ultrahand ability to attach objects and construct carts that travel along rails.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. First Rail Section:

   • At the beginning, you’ll see a rail track with some Zonai devices nearby, like wheels or fans.

   • Use Ultrahand to attach one or more wheels or fans to a platform to create a simple cart.

   • Position the cart onto the rail, and use the fan to propel it along the track to cross to the next area.

2. Second Rail Section – Inclined Rails:

   • In the next area, you might encounter a set of inclined rails, requiring more power to move uphill.

   • Build a sturdier rail vehicle by attaching multiple fans to the cart. If available, attach fans at an angle that will help push the cart up the incline.

   • Carefully place the cart on the rail and activate the fans to move uphill.

3. Third Rail Section – Gaps in the Rails:

   • The final section may have gaps in the rails, which will require either a longer platform or careful positioning to ensure your cart doesn’t fall off.

   • For wider gaps, try attaching a longer plank to your cart to bridge these gaps as you cross.

   • If the gap is too large, use multiple Zonai devices, such as fans and balloons (if available), to lift and guide the cart across.

4. Final Platform:

   • After successfully navigating the rail sections, you’ll reach the shrine’s end platform where you can collect your reward.

     
     

Shrine Rewards

Upon completing the Built for Rails challenge in Jiukoum Shrine, you’ll receive:

• A Sticky Elixir from the chest, which provides increased grip, making it easier to climb slippery surfaces in the rain or on wet cliffs.

• Additionally, you’ll earn a Light of Blessing, which can be used at a Goddess Statue to increase your health or stamina.

  
  

Tips for Success

• Experiment with Zonai Devices: Try different fan placements and numbers to get the speed and balance needed for each rail section.

• Align Carefully: Ensure your cart is well-aligned with the rails before activating the fans to avoid derailing.

• Adjust for Gaps: Use longer platforms or stabilize the cart when crossing large gaps to prevent falling.

  
  

With patience and careful construction, the Jiukoum Shrine can be a fun and innovative puzzle to solve! Enjoy the Sticky Elixir reward as you continue your adventure in Hyrule.
