If the spiral layout of the Rist Peninsula on the map wasn’t enough to grab your attention, here’s something else to pique your curiosity: Tears of the Kingdom’s Gemimik Shrine is there. Players who immerse themselves in this sanctuary will be greeted by a bevy of new mechanics, including floating torches, a yellow power generator, and a metal plate on the ground. Unfortunately, this puzzle is the only thing standing in the way of getting to the end of this shrine and getting another Blessing Light.

The Gemimik Shrine is located in the Rist Peninsula, east of the Akkala Highlands. The fastest way to reach this sanctuary is to teleport to the Uri Mountain Skyview Tower and glide down to the spiral island to the east. Unfortunately, many Aerocludas guard this area, so come prepared with some arrows.
How to solve Gemimik Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom
To solve this TotK puzzle, light all the floating torches. Although easier said than done, the following steps will help you complete the Gemimik Shrine.
First, grab the fan on the right with the Ultrahand. Next, lift the fan off the bracket and attach it to the turbine in the center.
Now that the fan is in place, turn it on so it spins. There is a metal plate to the left of the puzzle. Pick it up with Ultrahand and place it near the yellow power generator to connect it to the fan turbine.
The fan is now spinning, so take advantage of the gust of wind that propels you. On the platform to the right, there is a Tears of the Kingdom treasure chest with a level 50 Zonaite shield. Then, on the platform to the left, a bunch of flame emitters will come in handy for this puzzle.
Use Ultrahand to grab a flame emitter and drop it on the bottom floor. Then head downstairs, grab the flame emitter again and attach it to one of the fan wings to make it spin. This will light the torches and open the doors protecting the final statue.
After completing the puzzle, players can grab their Blessing Light and head out to discover any of the other hidden puzzles in Tears of the Kingdom’s Hyrule.
