The Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower is one of 15 Skyview Towers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KIngdom. The Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower reveals the portion of Gerudo Desert on your map, both sky and surface – the southwest corner of the Hyrule map.

Location

You will need cooling elixirs or food or armor/clothing before attempting this tower. There is ample Cool Saffina on the snowy plateau to the north of the tower in the Gerudo Highlands should you need it – cook it with meat to create cooling food.

Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower is in the far southwest corner of Hyrule and southwest of the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower. It is on a high mesa to the southwest of the Great Plateau. It is difficult to reach as the canyon is now filled with water: One path is a road leading south from the west side of the Great Plateau crosses bridges befor beheading south and looping back up. If you float west from the Hyrule Field tower, you can climb high enough on the plateau to reach a point where you can float across south to the tower mesa and then climb up to it. It’s easy to reach once beneath it using the ladders and scaffolds on the cliff faces.

How to Activate the Tower

Greet Sawson at the base of the tower on an elevator he can’t get moving. Climb up to the base of the tower by the doors from here. You will find a large deposit of crafting supplies here.

Your goal is to attach a heavy thing, or counter weight, to a hanging knob on the elevator platform ceiling.

Try using the metal crates in the pile of crafting supplies. You need to move close to attach the crate using the Ultrahand. Attaching it will lift Sawson to the tower and he will open it.

Approach the pedestal inside to activate the tower. You can now step on the pad to unlock the area map.

Note that this also creates a warp point back to the tower where you can launch into the sky at any time!
