One of the most crucial abilities in Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom that everyone wants to unlock has to be Ascend. However, many players don’t know when and where to look at if they want to unlock Ascend. There’s no need to worry since it’s pretty easy to get Ascend in the game, and fortunately enough, our guide will be telling you exactly how early on!
Unlocking Ascend In Tears Of The Kingdom
You can unlock Ascend after completing the quest called “The Closed Door”. To start the quest, approach the Temple of Time and converse with Rauru. You will then be directed to visit three Shrines on Great Sky Island, each distinguished by a glowing green spiral. In order to unlock the Temple, it’s necessary to visit these Shrines. After obtaining the Ultrahand ability from the Ukouh Shrine, you’ll be able to unlock Ascend.
Let us take a look at where these shrines are in detail what you need to do in order to unlock Ascend.
Locating The Gutanbac Shrine And The Ascend Ability
The Ascend ability is tucked away within the Gutanbac Shrine, which is situated amidst the imposing snowy peaks on the eastern side of Great Sky Island. Reaching the shrine may be challenging, but collecting spicy peppers found along the journey and cooking them in the area’s cooking pots can ease the trek.

The Archaic Warm Greaves, also found in this area, aid in cold resistance. Along the path, players will encounter a small lake with rafts. It is advised to power these rafts using Energy Cells, as explained by the Steward Construct, to avoid swimming in the freezing water.
Navigating The Gutanbac Shrine And Completing The Ability To Rise Challenge
Upon entering the Gutanbac Shrine, players are tasked with “The Ability to Rise” challenge, which serves as the final test to acquiring the Ascend ability. For this challenge, you’ll be given the Ascend ability, albeit temporarily for now. You’ll need to utilize Ascend to navigate through the shrine, as well as open the shrine’s treasure chests in the process.
After successfully navigating the shrine and reaching its end, players will be awarded the Light of Blessing. This symbolizes the successful acquisition of the Ascend, and now you’ll have unlocked Ascend permanently. This comes in handy for getting around, just like fast traveling.
