Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) — A Well-Timed Bounce Shrine Guide

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom A Well-Timed Bounce puzzle is in the Gatanisis Shrine, which is quite hard to find. That’s because it’s in a fairly secluded area at the eastern edge of the map, near the Lanayru Sea. Here’s our guide to help you solve the Gatanisis Shrine A Well-Timed Bounce puzzle in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Gatanisis Shrine A Well-Timed Bounce Puzzle Solution in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Gatanisis Shrine Location

The Gatanisis Shrine can be found in the Akkala region, but it’s in a strange area. To reach it, you’ll first want to make sure that you’re coming from a higher vantage point, such as the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower or any of the nearby floating islands in the Sky Islands.

Glide from one of these locations all the way to the east, where you’ll see four smaller islands forming a chain at the edge of the map. However, the Shrine itself isn’t on any of those landmasses. Instead, it’s on a cliffside separating the Akkala mainland from the island chain. The coordinates are (4498, 0825, 0095).

TotK Gatanisis Shrine A Well-Timed Bounce Puzzle Walkthrough

The Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Gatanisis Shrine A Well-Timed Bounce puzzle has only one section. In it, you’ll notice a large ball dropping down, causing a platform to descend before rising back up. There’s also a raised bullseye target at the end of the platform.

First A Well-Time Bounce Puzzle Solution

The idea is to wait for the ball to drop and roll all the way to the end of the platform. Since the platform lowers, use Recall on the orb to lift it back up. It will hit the bullseye target, opening the exit gate.

Second A Well-Timed Bounce Puzzle Solution and Chest Location

To reach the altar, however, you’ll need to grab the chest, which is above the structure that has the bullseye target. Wait until the platform is in its default/non-lowered position. Here’s how to do that.

• In my case, I simply waited along the edge of the platform and ran after the large orb. Once it fell off the edge and the platform rose up, I used Ascend.
• Alternatively, you can catch the ball using Ultrahand to fix it in place. Since the platform will be in its default position, you can safely walk below the bullseye target and cast Ascend.

The chest contains 5x Bomb Flower. More importantly, it’s also our way out of the TotK Gatanisis Shrine. From the top of the pillar, simply glide to the exit, and claim the Light of Blessing at the altar.

This completes the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Gatanisis Shrine A Well-Timed Bounce puzzle. One more Light of Blessing is in your possession, and you have a new way to reach this area quickly — without having to glide or jump through hoops.
