Quick Links
One of the best parts of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is its exploration of the sky over Hyrule. After the events of the game’s prologue, there are now floating islands littering the sky and the game lets Link explore these at his leisure. Better yet,they offer plenty of activitiesthat justify that exploration.

One such thing you will be able to dois find Shrines, such as the Mayam Shrine. Unlocking this Shrine is different from others, as it isn’t available for you to enter right away. Instead,you will have to do the quest called The North Hyrule Sky Crystal. It’s a little tricky, and once you figure it out, will require a little bit of finesse.
How To Open The Mayam Shrine
In order to start The North Hyrule Sky Crystal quest to open the Shrine, you will have to take to the skies. You will need toland on the island at 0340, 2815, 1821and if you use a nearby Sky Tower to launch yourself in the sky, you’re able to land on the island by gliding down onto it.
There, you will see a structure that looks like a Shrine, but the middle part is missing. Instead, you have the exterior structure and when you approach it,a glowing light will appear, and you will have the quest.

Retrieving The North Hyrule Sky Crystal
to get into the Shrine, you are going to have to find the Crystal that will open it, and it doesn’t tell you exactly where to look. However, if you look closely, you will see a small, green beam of light going off into the sky. If you look off the island you are onto the southeast, you will see another island that the beam of light of heading to.
Jump off, glide over to the island, and get ready for a fight. Here, you will have to fightthe Flux Construct I, which looks like something straight out of Minecraft. This blocky boss needs to be taken down using Ultrahand totarget the glowing blockamong it. The goal is to grab onto thisblock with Ultrahandand wiggle it off of the body, causing the rest of the blocks to fall apart.
Once the glowing block has been separated,attack it with your best weapon. Do this three times, and it will go down.
But the tricky part is just starting: the boss will drop the crystal you need, and somehow you need to transport it from this island back up to the island with the Shrine. You will notice a handful of platforms around the area, as well as some rockets up the stairs from where you fought the Construct. You will need to attach the crystal to one of these platforms, and thenuse the rockets available to you to fly it back up to the Shrine.
The tricky part is that you will have to fly both vertically and horizontally, and when you fly horizontally, yourun the risk of the rest of the rockets - and even the crystal - flying off the platform. If this happens, you will have to start over, so prepare for the journey. You will need approximately three rockets to get up to the island: two rockets to go up, and then one more to fly over to the island.
With some luck, you will get there, and at that point,just take the crystal over to the Shrineto finish the quest and gain access.
