Quick Links
In order to reveal the map inTears of the Kingdom, players will need to activate the Skyview Towers. There are 15 in total, but one that may give players some trouble is the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower. This Tower not only requires cold-resistant gear/buffs, but it’s also impossible to reach for those who try climbing the icy pillars surrounding it.
Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower opens up the map for Lanayru Region as well as their Sky Islands. Unveiling the Lanayru Region will make it easier for players to spot Kakariko Village and Hateno Village. There are a few methods of reaching/activating the Skyview Tower on Mount Lanayru inTears of the Kingdomthat involve Zonai technology or one of Link’s new Abilities.

Where is the Mount Lanayru Tower?
Mount Lanayru and Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower are to thefar east of HyruleonThe Surfaceat3846, -1307, 0539. Players will notice that it’snorth of Hateno Villageandfar east of Kakariko Village. The best way to reach the Lanayru Region is by diving from the Lanayru Sky Archipelago (the Sky Islands above Lanayru) or taking a horse (or vehicle) alongLanayru Road(betweenKakariko Village and Mount Lanayru).
Once players reach Mount Lanayru, they’ll want to equiplevel 2 cold-resistant gearor have aChilly Elixirthat gives alevel 2cold weather resistance. Without this, the freezing weather will chip at Link’s HP. There are also plenty of monsters along Mount Lanayru’s path that can freeze Link solid if he’s not careful.
Players should activate theZakusu Shrineat3525, -1482, 0167(near theNaydra Snowfield Chasm). This Shrine is right near the path where players can begin their climb up Mount Lanayru.

How to Get into Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower
Tears of the Kingdompretty much allows multiple ways to reach Mount Lanayru’s summit:
Use Recall on Falling Ruins
Occasionally,ruins from the Sky Islandswill fall from the sky. They’ll have ablue lighttrailing behind them as they fall. Around coordinates3770, -1180, 0411. It’s also possible for ruins to appear wherever Link may be wandering, sokeep an eye on the sky.
Ruins tend to fall/spawn on the mountainsidenorth of Lanayru Tower.
Once players see the ruins, they should hurry over and climb atop. Switch toRecalland use this to elevate Link into the air. Players will want to bealigned with the towerbeforejumping off and gliding over.
Climb/Walk Up the Path
Another way to reach the Tower is to literally climb Mount Lanayru. Players shouldstart from the Zakusu Shrine (3525, -1482, 0167)andfollow the path. It will snake around Mount Lanayru, so as long as players don’t stray, they’ll eventually end up at the Skyview Tower.
Be warned that this way ismuchmore dangerous - especially for newcomers. There are Ice Chuchus, but there are also silver monsters such asSilver Lizalfos. If players decide to go this route, they should go equipped witha Lizalfos Mask or Majora’s Mask.

Create a Flying Vehicle
For those that want to create their own flying vehicle, they can useFans, aSteering Stick(optional), aRocket(optional), and aWing. It’s also recommended to have one or twoZonai Batteriesattached to the Wing as well.
While a Rocket isn’trequiredfor a Fanplane build, it’s good for sending the Fanplane off a ledge so that it can lift off into the air. Attaching Fans to the end of a Wing won’t be enough to get it flying if the Wing is onflat land. Another way to get the Fanplane moving is to attach the Wing to a Cart. Lastly, aSteering Stickisn’t required either, but it will give players better control over the direction of the plane.
Players struggling to make their own can alsouse theSchema Stonereceived from the Construct at theGreat Abandoned Central Mine(obtained after getting the Autobuild Ability). This will craft a Fanplane (without a Steering Stick) so long as players have the parts or the chilly elixir.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available for Nintendo Switch.
