Natak Shrine — Prove Thy Worth

Location: Sky Islands, above Eldin / north Hyrule Ability Required: Ultrahand Difficulty: Easy — sky rail cart navigation

Overview

Natak Shrine features a sky rail system — you'll ride carts along overhead rails suspended between sky platforms. The challenge is attaching fans to the cart to propel yourself along the track and navigating switches to reach the altar. A fun transportation puzzle with great sky views.

Preparation

• Paraglider recommended (in case you fall off the cart)
• No combat
• Takes 5–7 minutes

Walkthrough

Platform 1 — Find the Cart

1. The shrine opens onto a large sky platform with an overhead rail running along the ceiling.
2. A cart with a hook is hanging from the rail. Use Ultrahand to grab it and hold it steady — don't let it swing off the rail.
3. Hop onto the cart — it will hang from the rail and slide if pushed.

Section 1 — Fan Propulsion

1. There's a fan device on the launch platform. Attach the fan to the back of the cart using Ultrahand.
2. Board the cart, activate the fan (or it activates automatically) — the cart rolls along the rail toward the first junction platform.
3. Ride to the first platform and step off.

Junction — Rail Switch

1. The rail splits into two branches. The left branch leads to a treasure chest platform. The right branch leads to the altar.
2. Use Ultrahand to grab the rail switch lever (green handle) and rotate it to set the path to left first (for the chest), then come back and reset to right for the altar.

Section 2 — Long Rail Run

1. Reattach the fan to the cart (or find a second fan on the chest platform).
2. Ride the cart along the right branch all the way to the altar platform.
3. The fan provides enough speed to complete the rail without stopping.

Tips

• Cart stability: If the cart swings wildly when you try to board, grab it with Ultrahand, hold it steady for 2 seconds, then release and hop on in the same motion.
• Fan direction is critical: The fan must face backward relative to your direction of travel. If the cart rolls backward or spins instead of forward, rotate the fan 180 degrees.
• You can re-grab the fan mid-rail: If the fan detaches from the cart while riding, use Ultrahand while riding to grab and reattach it without falling.
• Chest is worth it: The chest branch contains a Strong Construct Bow or similar Sky Island weapon — always take the detour.
• Falling off: If you fall off the cart, use your Paraglider and float back up to the nearest platform to retry from the previous junction.
