TotK Tsutsu-um Shrine The Stakes Guide You Puzzle Walkthrough
To solve The Stakes Guide You puzzle, go down the stairs in Tsutsu-um Shrine and turn left to see a moving pillar in front of you. There will be a square slate nearby with a Zonai Stake in it.
First the Stakes Guide You puzzle solution
Use Ultrahand to grab the Zonai Stake and set up a platform. Hold it so the slate is level and the sharp end of the peg is in the pillar. Now for the second DeadK Stakes Guide You puzzle.
Second The Stakes Guide You puzzle solution
At the far end of this area, you’ll see a circular device and a bright orange orb falling continuously to the left.
- First, use the center vent to slide up, then use the shrine’s chest to descend to the platform. Inside there are 5 arrows.
- Go back to the vent and use it to get onto the higher platform on your right (in the opposite direction to the chest).
- From here, look at the wall where the ball falls. There are stakes in the wall that you need to move.
- The one who moves first is the one closest to the chute where the ball comes out. Move this stake so the ball will bounce and fall onto the rotating platform below.

Now take another stake and place it under the rotating platform to create a downward slope for the ball to continue flying. It will fall afterwards, but will land safely on a metal rail beneath a rotating wall.
Next, I found that the easiest way was to go back, take the item I used for the first puzzle, and attach it to this spinning wall. This will push the ball along the metal track to the glowing goal at the other end. Once inside and the glowing hole turns green, the gate to the shrine’s exit will open.
