Runakit Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom consists of three main parts, and Link can’t use any of the Zonai Devices he brings in with him to solve them. To start the first puzzle, glide to the platform on the left of the Shrine’s entrance and climb the ladders. Use Ultrahand ability to place the sphere on the nearby rails so that it will roll down to the second part of the Runakit Shrine’s puzzle.

To solve this second part of Runakit Shrine puzzle in Tears of the Kingdom, attach the four poles on the second platform together in pairs using Ultrahand. This will leave Link with two extremely long poles, then attach those poles to one side of the sphere so it can slide down the wider set of rails without rolling and falling down. We only figured this solution out after trying to turn the sphere into a surfboard Link could ride down the rails. As far as we know, that’s just not possible.

After gliding over to the third platform, and before solving the third part of Runakit Shrine puzzle in Tears of the Kingdom, use the slabs nearby to build a bridge over to the ladder next to the rails so Link can climb up and claim the loot within.

The third part of Runakit Shrine puzzle in Tears of the Kingdom gives Link one rail on which to slide the sphere to its final destination. To do this, we attached two corner slabs, the ones made up of two slabs at a right angle to each other, to the sphere. This created a sort of cage in which we hoped the rail would sit. We then positioned the sphere and its new extensions over the rail as far away as possible, and, to our amazement, it slid down to the starting platform. From here, move the sphere into the platform’s recess to unlock the Runakit Shrine exit.
