Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Towers

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is home to 15 different Skyview Towers that unlock the entire map of Hyrule - here's how to access the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower. Doing so will reveal the map area for both the sky and land areas of Lanayru Wetlands.

The Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower is located at coordinates 2419,-2762, 0222, in the southeast region of the map. It lies almost directly southwest from Hateno Village, and southeast from Dueling Peaks Stable.

Unlocking Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower doesn't require too much from the player, but be prepared with a method of creating fire, such as Flint and Wood, or a Bomb Flower, and practice your Ultrahand skills. Flint and Wood will be available nearby if you can't find any ahead of time.

How To Get Into Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower

Approaching the Tower will make it very clear what the Skyview Tower puzzle is here: you must get through a circle of thorns in order to get inside. Unfortunately, there's no way to glide over the thorns, but exploring the area should make the solution a little more obvious: you must burn the thorns to access the Tower. The trouble is a downpour of rain makes that a little trickier than it might first seem.

Look around the outside of Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower until you come across a sheltered outdoor area. In here you'll find Wood and Flint, if you don't already have them. You'll also find some planks of wood. Pick these up using Ultrahand and connect three pieces together to create a large, wide, and flat strip of wood.

From here, carry your construction to the thorns directly outside the entrance to the Tower, place it atop them to create a bridge in front of the doorway, and drop the Wood and Flint. Strike the Flint to create a fire, which should burn the now-dry thorns. You can also use any other fire-creating method, such as Fire Fruit and arrows or a Bomb Flower.

You might need to reposition the large plank of wood in order to fully burn away the thorns - remember - there are no wrong ways to play Tears of the Kingdom, so if the bridge system doesn't work for your playstyle, there are plenty of other ways to use the planks to dry the thorns and then burn them.

Once the thorns are burned away, simply enter the Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower and use the terminal as normal in order to unlock the sky and land areas of Lanayru Wetlands. Once the Skyview Tower is complete, the perpetual storm in this area will also end, meaning you won't need to face the rain when you fast-travel here again during your exploration of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
