Lifting the fog of war from the Gerudo Canyon and Gerudo Desert requires players to go to the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Unlocking and interacting with the console in the tower reveals the entire map of Gerudo Canyon.
However, like all other Skyview Towers, entering the Gerudo Canyon Tower is easier said than done in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. In this guide, we will take you through the scorching heat of the Gerudo Desert and let you help a stranded engineer.
Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower Location in Zelda: TotK
To reach the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you must travel through the harsh landscape of the Gerudo Desert. Gerudo region is scorching during the day and cold at night.
We recommend purchasing Desert Voe and Snowquill armors before venturing into the Gerudo Desert area to reach Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. Brewing elixirs or cooking meals with heat and cold resistance is also a good option.
The Skyview Tower is located east of Gerudo Desert Gateway and southwest of Central Hyrule. The Gerudo Canyon Stable is nearby, so it should be an easy landmark to track.
From Gerudo Canyon Stables, keep going East until you come across a lift with a metal block. Get on the lift and remove the metal block with Ultrahand, which acts as a counterweight. This will make the lift go up, and you will reach the top of the cliff in no time.
How to Activate the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower
Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower can’t be activated as its main console is broken. Only a qualified Skyview Tower technician can fix the problem. This obvious hint refers to Sawson, who is trapped on a lift below.
1. Pick up a few metal containers from the left side of the Skyview Tower.
2. Stack them on top of each other with the help of the Ultrahand ability.
3. Attach the containers to a metal piece on a rope (-2412, -2184, 0301). This is exactly opposite the entrance of the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower.
4. These metal containers will act as a counterweight and pull the lift with Sawson on it.
5. Talk to Sawson, and he will thank you for allowing him to reach the tower. He was sent here to fix the tower but got stranded on the broken lift.
6. Sawson will give you Chilled Steamy Mushrooms as a reward for helping him and will proceed to fix the tower’s console.
7. Once he is done, you can activate the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and use it to get airborne. This will allow you to unlock the map of the Gerudo Desert and reach the Gerudo Sky Archipelago.
