The Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower is one of 15 Skyview Towers in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KIngdom. The Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower reveals the north central portion of Hyrule including the Great Hyrule Forest on both Sky and Surface maps.

Location

The Thyphlo Ruins are located due north and a bit east of Hyrule Castle, north of the large Great Hyrule Forest, which you’ll have to avoid on your way here. On the west side of Hyrule Castle is a road that leads north to the end of Hyrule Gorge and, at a fork, leads west to the Tabantha Tundra and east to the Thyphlo Ruins. This tower is sticking straight up in the middle of the ruins.

How to Activate the Tower

The Thyphlo Ruins Skyview Tower cannot be activated and a Rito named Billson is not that helpful in figuring out why. Note the number of floating platforms around the tower: One of these is actually blocking the top of the tower, where a hatch must open to activate the tower.

Start with the platform to the left of the tower when facing the doors. Use Ascend to climb onto this platform and eliminate the enemy. You can attach the one of the two rockets here using Ultrahand to the platform and whack them to get it rising upwards.

This should be more than enough to let you reach the top central platform above the tower hatch.

To move this platform, use the other rocket mounted on the side of the blocking platform, or attach a fan from your inventory if you have one.

With the platform moved, you can activate the tower.

Drop to the ground, 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!
