How To Complete Joku-u Shrine In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Make your way through the thunderstorms to earn Rauru's Blessing from Joku-u shrine.

Joku-u Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is another blessing shrine that offers no challenges or puzzles. The biggest challenge is finding and reaching the shrine itself.

While Joku-u Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is pretty well inside a sky island covered with storms, we will help you reach it effortlessly. However, this shrine has a few prerequisites, and we don’t recommend attempting it early in the game.

Joku-u Shrine Location in Zelda: TotK

Joku-u Shrine is hidden inside Dragonhead Island on Faron Grasslands Sky. This area is covered by a massive storm, and everything inside is invisible to the naked eye. You can clear the storm by completing the Secret of the Ring Ruins main quest.

Before venturing into this area, we recommend removing all the gear and weapons that can attract electricity to avoid getting struck by lightning.

The exact coordinates for the Joku-u shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are (1374, -3341, 0428).

Joku-u Shrine Walkthrough

Before making your journey towards Dragonhead Island, we recommend you find and equip Zora armor. It is a part of Sidon of Zora’s questline.

The next thing that you need is Tulin’s Gust ability, which can be obtained by completing Tulin of Rito’s main quest. Once you have obtained both items, make your way to Joju-u-u Shrine near Lakeside Stable in Faron Grasslands.

1. From the shrine’s entrance, turn back and glide towards the lakes marked on the map. Make sure that you have Zora armor equipped.

2. Once you reach the lakes with waterfalls, use the waterfalls to swim upward and reach the next area with falling time stones.

3. This area is marked by an Octorok. Defeat it and wait for the time stone to hit the water.

4. Climb on time stone and use the Recall ability on it. The time stone will take you high into the air, far above the storm that is encompassing Dragonhead Island.

5. Jump from the stone and glide west to reach above the shrine. Make sure to have your shrine’s sensor activated all the time.

6. Once you locate a building-like structure on the island, go above it to see the shrine. Stop gliding and let the paraglider drop you down. This step is extremely important because you won’t be able to see anything once you enter the storm.

7. Slowly make your descent until you start seeing the shrine again. Interact with the shrine’s entrance to unlock a fast travel point. 

8. Enter the shrine to collect your rewards. As this is a blessing shrine, there are no combat or puzzle challenges. Open the treasure chest to obtain a Diamond.

9. Interact with Rauru and Sonia’s statues to earn a Light of Blessing as a reward.
