Gerudo Canyon Crystal and Rakakudaj Shrine walkthrough

Reaping the rewards of Rakakudaj Shrine is all about schlepping a crystal across the desert. Don’t complain, it builds character!

1. Pick up the shrine crystal and head northwest a few yards to find a set of Zonai big wheels.

2. Use Ultrahand to construct a cart using the pre-built four-wheeler and the slab with two big wheels and steering device.

3. Follow the shrine beam north along the road — the big wheeler shouldn’t have many issues rolling over the rocky stream, but if you’re stuck, this is why god invented Ultrahand.

4. Once you’ve located the Rakakudaj Shrine, dump the crystal off to activate the shrine. Enter the shrine to find a chest containing a mighty Zonaite longsword. Activate the sigil to receive a Light of Blessing.
