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

The Utojis Shrine (1217, -2542, 0096) in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom presents players with the "A Balanced Plan" challenge. This shrine, located in the Hyrule Field region, is a test of balancing and counterweight mechanics, requiring clever use of the Ultrahand ability to solve puzzles and move through the shrine. Here’s a full guide on how to complete Utojis Shrine and earn its rewards!

Shrine Challenge: A Balanced Plan

The main challenge in Utojis Shrine is balancing platforms and using weights to open pathways and proceed. You’ll need to carefully place and adjust objects using the Ultrahand ability. Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

1. First Balancing Puzzle:

   • You’ll see a platform balanced on a central fulcrum with one side raised and the other lowered.

   • Find a nearby heavy object, such as a stone block or metal weight, and use Ultrahand to lift and place it on the raised side of the platform.

   • The weight should bring down the raised side, allowing you to cross over to the next area.

2. Second Puzzle – Multi-Step Balance:

   • For the second section, you may find two separate platforms, each with weights and raised sides.

   • Here, you’ll need to use both weights and platforms to balance the setup so you can proceed.

     • Start by moving one weight onto the first platform to lower it.

     • Cross to the other side, then move another weight to the second platform to create a path forward.

   • Some platforms might need two weights, or you may have to adjust by removing one weight and adding it to another platform.

3. Final Puzzle – Precision Balancing:

   • The last section requires more precise balancing. You may need to use all available weights to ensure the platform stays even as you walk across.

   • If there are multiple weights of different sizes, experiment with combinations to balance the platform perfectly.

   • When the final platform is balanced, cross over to reach the shrine’s altar.

Shrine Rewards

After completing the "A Balanced Plan" challenge in Utojis Shrine, you’ll receive the following rewards:

• A chest that often contains a valuable item, like a weapon or Zonai material.

• A Light of Blessing, which you can use to upgrade either your stamina or health at a Goddess Statue.

Tips for Success

• Use Ultrahand Precisely: Balance platforms carefully, and adjust placements if you see one side tipping too far.

• Observe Platform Movements: If a platform tips too quickly, try moving weights more slowly or experimenting with combinations.

• Stay Patient and Experiment: Balancing puzzles may take some trial and error, so take your time and try different configurations.

  
  

With a little patience and a steady hand, the Utojis Shrine will be a manageable and rewarding experience!
