Gutanbac Shrine is located within The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Great Sky Island region. This shrine gives you the Ascend ability and teaches you how to use it.
On this page, we’ll help you find the Gutanbac Shrine location — referred to by players as the ‘Snow Shrine’ — and how solve its puzzles, and walk you through the “The Ability to Rise” challenge to collect the chest and get the Light of Blessing.
When you’re done, our shrine locations page or interactive Hyrule map can direct you toward something else to do.
How to get to Gutanbac Shrine location

The Gutanbac Shrine is found in a snowy biome on the eastern side of the Great Sky Island region. The coordinates for the Gutanbac Shrine are (0709, -1381, 1584).
You will need some cold resistance, so we recommend you to make a dish containing spicy peppers or grab the Archaic Warm Greaves found inside a hollow tree at these coordinates (0766, -1339, 1587).
If you need a step-by-step guide to reaching the location, our full Great Sky Island walkthrough can help.
Gutanbac Shrine walkthrough
The Gutanbac Shrine gives you the Ascend ability and teaches you a few methods on how to use it, such as rising through ceilings or moving platforms.
1. Walk down the stairs under the platform ahead of you.
2. Switch to the Ascend ability and use it on the ceiling above you to rise to the next floor. You’ll find two pillars on the wall.

3. Stand below the pillar on the left, and use Ascend to find the first treasure chest to receive a stone axe.
4. Drop down and use Ascend on the right pillar to reach the top floor.
5. Defeat the Construct on this floor. The Construct has a bow and arrow, so make sure to keep your shield up as they draw their bow to deflect all of their damage.
6. Look to the right to find two wooden crates in the wall. Destroy the crates then stand where the once lied.
