The Mogawak Shrine can be found within Zora’s Domain, right underneath the massive Great Zora Bridge. Players can refer to the screenshot above for reference.

Once within the shrine, players must use the Ultrahand ability to solve various puzzles involving machinery. Refer to our Ultrahand guide for additional tips and tricks.

The full walkthrough of this rather difficult Shrine is as follows:

1. The end goal of the Shrine is to use the various water-powered devices to charge up a battery.

2. Head right into the central area to find a battery-like green cylindrical container lying ahead of the elevator.

5. Next, rotate the water wheel till it is hit by the waterfall, causing it to move. The battery will begin to charge up, indicated by a yellow glow.

6. Once the battery is completely charged up, drag it to the opposite side of the room.

7. Grab the floorboard in the prior room and use it to connect the two metal balls underneath the water pool.

8. Place the battery on the hexagonal pedestal and swim your way to the unlocked door and open a chest. Be wary of the electrical current.

9. Unlock the chest to obtain an Opal.

10. Carry the depleted battery cell back to the waterfall mechanism and recharge it.

11. Finally, use Ultrahand to carry the battery to the top of the stairs in the central room.

12. Place the battery on the hexagonal pedestal and immediately jump on the elevator.

13. The elevator will take you to the top floor with a deity-like statue you can interact with.

Players can now interact with the statue to obtain a Light of Blessing. Four of these Blessings can be collected against HP or Stamina Wheel upgrades in Tears of The Kingdom. Interacting with the statue will also teleport you back outside, fully restoring your HP.
