The name of a Shrine inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomcan often be a major hint at its solution. Theinfamous “Courage to Fall” Shrineis a hint that players must actually touch lasers to activate, and fall through, a ground trap. Jikais Shrine doesn’t quite trick players the same way, but its many rooms are all themed around the concept of breaking out of jail.

Jikais Shrine, subtitled “Jailbreak”, isone of the more imaginative ShrinesinTears of the Kingdom, with puzzles that test players' ability to get past otherwise impassable obstacles. It’s not so easy to break out of jail, even with Link’s suite of new abilities – players will have to not only think outside the box, but by the end, they will have to literallylookoutside the box for a solution, too.
How To Get To Jikais Shrine
Jikais Shrine is located on Mount Lanayru, which itself is justsoutheast of Zora’s Domain and just north of Hateno Village and its Research Lab. Mount Lanayru is quite the chilly environment, so be prepared to face the cold with some warming foods – try cooking with Hot Peppers foran easy cold-resist effect, or purchase the Snowquill set for its permanent effect.

The coordinates forJikais Shrine are (4264, -1667, 0181), and the most efficient time to tackle this shrine is either right after or on the way to activating the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower. It’s practically a beacon against the mountain’s snowy ground, and hard to miss if heading to Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower from Hateno Village.
Jikais Shrine Walkthrough (Jailbreak)
The first room in Jikais Shrine challenges players to scale a tall wall with a combination ofUltrahand and Ascend. There are some moveable blocks on rails on both sides of the wall, but Link can’t simply climb up the side of these.
Instead, players mustadjust them so Link can Ascend upward and reach the next room. On theright side, move thebottom block to the right and the top block to the left. On theleft sideof the room, move thetop block all the way to the rightso that it’s right underneath the alcove with a torch in it.
Ascend upward through the right side, paraglide over to the left side, then Ascend again through this uppermost block.Jump into the alcove, then Ascend to reach the next room. Here players will see the Shrine Chest and a large stone platform.
Use Ultrahand on the platformand drag it to the end of the room, long side facing Link, and balance it soone side goes a little bit over the right-side edge. Walk over to the overhanging part of the stone platform, switch to Ascend, thenburrow upward to reach the final room–an “inescapable” prison cell.
Things would be much more dire if Link didn’t have the ability to manipulate his surroundings with Ultrahand –look on the outside of the non-climbable barsto see another stone platform like the one Link just used.Pick it up with Ultrahand, drag it inside the cell, then either lean it against the barsand walk up it,or climb on and Recallto have it carry Link out. Once you’ve successfully completed this jailbreak puzzle, walk over to the end of the Shrine to receive a Light of Blessing.
How To Get The Jikais Shrine Chest
The chest in Jikais Shrine is located in the second “room,” where Link must balance a stone platform off an edge to Ascend to the final room. Players should see a metal platform up above with the Chest on it – getting this one is as easy as using Ascend just below it.Inside this chest players will find aMagic Staff, whichgains spell-like effects when Fused to a gemstone.
