If you don’t understand how to use the candle and pressure plate in this Gerudo Desert temple on Zelda TotK, then you will need this guide to help you solve the “wandering flame” puzzle.
This is a sanctuary that is not only difficult to access in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom but also complex to master as the enigma is so far-fetched. What should you do with this damn candle? Find the video guide above and the written and illustrated version below.
Where to find the Qalaha Tagi sanctuary?
If you go into the Gerudo desert Before you have completed Riju’s main quest in Gerudo City, you will have a hard time moving around. Indeed, the intense electric fog in the area will prevent your Pru’ha tablet from working properly and you will not even be able to no longer show your map to get your bearings. However, it is possible to take the tornadoes from the desert to regain altitude and understand where you are.
Qalaha Tagi Shrine is a good teleport point since it is located right in the middle of the desert, on thesouthern oasis. You can take the Gerudo Canyon Observation Tower to reach it.
How to complete it?
- The riddle of this shrine is difficult to understand but once you know what to do, it’s pretty quick,
- In the first room, simply take the torch and equip yourself with,
- Hit the flame in front of you to light the torch, then use the “R” button to aim at the tip at the top left of the grate: throw the flaming torch to activate the mechanism,
- In the main room, first take an interest in the chest which is located just below the pressure plate: you must use the paraglider to throw yourself into the void and go into the cavity. Then go back up with Infiltration.
- Now let’s focus on the main riddle: three columns are in front of you. When you press the pressure plate By standing on it, it lowers the platform and ignites spikes. These are the same as in the first room and your goal is to light them.
- Problem? When you take the candle to the right of the room, with Gripwhile pressing on the slab, you are too far away to make it rise to the mechanism.
- The solution is to place the candle under a column, take it with Grip to make it rise inside, as high as possible and make it go back down.
- Then stand on the pressure plate and immediately use the power Retrospective on the candle: while the tip to be lit is out, the power to rewind time will allow your candle to go and touch it without you needing to use Grip.
- Repeat the operation on the other two columns to open the exit grid.
