Kiuyoyou Shrine Walkthrough
Kiuyoyou Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom presents you with a trial called Fire and Ice. The purpose of this shrine is to use both elements to your advantage to solve the puzzle.
1. Upon entering the shrine, you will notice an ice block to the left and a column of fire to the right. Pick up the Ice Block with Ultrahand and use Fire to reduce its size.
2. Once the ice block is short enough, place it on the switch on the right side of the blocked door.
3. Use your paraglider to cross the gap with air currents in the next room.
4. This section will have fire rows, melting the ice block we need for the next step. Pick up the metal plate and block the fire.
5. Pick up the Ice block and place it away from the fire. Remove the metal plate and connect it to the top of the ice block horizontally to create an ice sled.
6. Drop the ice block on a spiky ramp to reach the previous area. Then, use your paraglider to reach that area.
7. Place the ice block near the ledge to reach the treasure chest. This one contains a Zonaite Spear as the loot.
8. Now, take this new structure all the way back to the first fire column and place it beneath it. This metal plate will immediately stop the fire from melting the ice cube, and the weight of the ice cube will press the button long enough to open the altar door.
9. Enter the altar room and interact with Rauru and Sonia’s statues to obtain a Light of Blessing and complete the Fire and Ice trial.
