You've made it to Thyphlo Ruins, fighting off a handful of constructs only to find that the Skyview Tower is blocked. How do you get it unblocked, and what's the fastest way to do it?
The Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower is one of the more free-form and fun to unlock towers in The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, and while its solution may not be as complex as others, it can be challenging in its own right. Here's everything you need to know about finding and unlocking the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower.
Finding The Skyview Tower
You can find the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview tower nestled among some ruins almost directly north of Hyrule Castle. If you've already found the Great Hyrule Forest, the Thyphlo Ruins are just above it.
While the tower is easy enough to find, making it to the door can be harder than it seems. The Thyphlo Ruins are surrounded on all sides by a sizable lake, and even once you get inside, you'll have to deal with tons of powerful constructs.
Unlocking The Tower
Thankfully, the puzzle surrounding the Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower is relatively simple. The top is blocked, preventing the console from activating, so all you have to do is clear out whatever is blocking it. First, however, you'll have to get up there. If you look around, you'll notice a number of floating platforms at scattered heights. Grab the lowest one and pull it to a location where you can climb on it.
Once you're up there, you should find two Rocket devices. If you want to take the fast way to the top, simply strap these rockets to the side and let them send you into the air. If you mess up or don't want to risk it, you climb more methodically by grabbing another floating platform and using the two in tandem to move upwards gradually.
Whichever method you decide to use, watch out for the constructs that sit on most of the floating platforms around the tower. They'll fuse rockets to their arrows for lighting-fast shots that pack quite a punch if they hit.
Once you're at the top, simply move the floating platform that's covering the lid of the tower with the Ultrahand ability, and the door should unlock.
