The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Marakuguc Shrine Puzzle can be a little bit tricky to solve. You’ll need to combine your Ultrahand ability with some wheeled objects to make it through. Here’s a look at how to complete the Marakuguc Shrine puzzle.

How to solve the Marakuguc Shrine Puzzle in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Marakuguc Shrine is found in the Eldin Canyon region. The Wheeled Wonders puzzles will require you to use your Ultrahand ability to attach objects to wheeled devices so you can cross over large gaps and lava.

Once inside, you’ll need to use your Ultrahand to re-attach the broken panel. Simply raise it up and attach it to the other side to cross over the gap.

Use your Ultrahand ability to create a ramp across the gap.

For the next section, you’ll need to cross over some lava. This time, use your Ultrahand to move the wheeled panel in front of the pile of folded-up panels.

Move the wheeled platform directly in front of the panels and attach it.

Then, connect the end panel to the backside of the wheeled panel. Once it’s attached, hit one of the wheels with your sword and it’ll create a ramp over the lava, allowing you to keep moving through the Marakuguc Shrine.

Surprise surprise, the next section has more lava! This time, you’ll need to connect the two-wheeled panels together to make one long-wheeled panel.

Use your Ultrahand to attach the two panels together so you can ride across the lava.

Be mindful as you near the middle of the lava, as there is a big bump that will throw you off if you’re not careful.

Once across, stand underneath the platform and use your Ascend ability to get to the top. Move forward and you’ll run into a Construct that you’ll need to defeat.

With the Construct taken care of, you’ll be ready for the final section of the Marakuguc Shrine.

As you move toward the final puzzle, you’ll see a chest in the back right corner on top of a pillar. If you look to your left, you’ll find a platform that you can rotate and use to get up to the chest. There is a Level 11 Construct Bow inside that you’ll want to get.

Prop the ramp on top of the ledge then use your Ascend ability to reach the hidden chest.

There are a few ways to do this, but I found it easiest to just stand underneath the platform and Ascend to the top once I had it propped up.

Once you've opened the chest, hop down and use your Ultrahand to grap the ramp and bring it over to the wheeled panel.

Rotate the platform so that it can catch the balls and push them down the ramp.

For the next section, you’ll need to push all the balls down the ramp to unlock the door. Rotate the platform so that it’s facing the balls and attach it to the wheeled panel. It should look like the image above.

Then, hit the wheel with your weapon and it’ll push the balls down the ramp. You can move the wheeled panel around with your Ultrahand until you get enough balls down the ramp to unlock the door.

Head through the door and collect the Light of Blessing to complete the Marakuguc Shrine puzzle. Be sure to bookmark our main guide for all Shrine locations in case you get stuck on another.
