Finding the Josiu Shrine
Hidden within the clouds of the West Necluda Sky Archipelago in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll find the intriguing Josiu Shrine. This shrine is nestled at coordinates 1759, -1208, 0924, and can be accessed by journeying to the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower and gliding eastwards towards the sky archipelago.

Embarking on the Josiu Shrine Challenge

The challenge of the Josiu Shrine is unique, as it is located out in the open, presenting a blend of physical and mental tests for players. To embark on this quest, you must interact with the shrine, which curiously lacks the usual central rock but emits a beam towards a crystal on a nearby island.
Mastering the Mechanics of the Shrine

Adjacent to the bridge leading to the crystal, there is a contraption that controls a curved bridge. Using the Ultrahand, adjust the bridge to connect the crystal island and the one to your left, similar to positioning the hands of a clock at 9 and 12.
