Some Shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that seem like the game's most complex are actually rather simple, but easy to overthink. This Shrine is just like that, and can seem like a much more complicated physics puzzle than it actually is.
In Apogek Shrine, which can be accessed most easily by flying, Tears of the Kingdom players must have good timing as well as an understanding of how to make a basic plane. Thankfully, players are given the Wing Zonai Device to use in Apogek Shrine, but they have to be careful or risk resetting rooms they can't quite get across.
How To Get To Apogek Shrine
Apogek Shrine is found on the top of a ridge at the coordinates (3889, -0216, 0164), which is between Zora's Domain, Talus Mountain, and Mount Lanayru. The easiest way to get here is arguably flying, since it seems to rain so often in the greater Lanayru region, which makes climbing hard without grippy buffs.
It's nestled into the mountainside relatively high up, so players who choose to make a flying machine should bring parts that can raise their altitude quickly. A Rocket attached to a Wing Zonai Device, launched from the other side of the river to the south of Apogek Shrine, can get there relatively fast.
A Balloon fused to a base also works to ascend the cliffs quickly, too, though a fire source and a platform attached to the base of the Balloon is required instead of just Zonai parts alone.
Apogek Shrine Walkthrough (Wings on Wind)
In the first of two rooms in Apogek Shrine, players will see rails leading down and a series of Wing Zonai Devices being launched from the left to right. Walk foward until Link's Ultrahand ability is within reach of one of these Wings, then grab it in mid-air and bring it back to the start of the room.
Players will see a small ball in this starting area, which should be attached to the middle-front of the Wing for optimal balance. Then, place the Wing on the rails and quickly jump on, as it will start to slip and gain speed very fast on this particular type of material.
As long as as the plane is balanced, it should glide to the end of the room without much effort on players' part – just don't walk around on it too much, as Link's weight can easily unbalance and redirect the Wing.
Once Link makes it to the other side, detach the ball and place it into the hole. This will open the door to the second room. Paraglide on the Fan devices to reach an upper platform, where there will be three rails pointed downward and some more Wing devices. But instead of a ball that needs to be brought to a receptacle, this room just requires players to get to the end however they can.
Look over the ledge you just paraglided up and pick up two of the fans. Attach these two fans to both sides of the Wing, then lift the whole plane up and place it onto the rails once again. It should automatically start sliding, but the Fans must be activated during this take-off or the plane won't have enough momentum to make it to the end.
There's a pretty big landing area at the end, it's a pretty long distance away from the launch rails. Luckily, players' batteries aren't drained inside of Shrines, or at least not for this segment of Apogek Shrine. Be sure to activate the fans well before actually going airborne for maximum speed.
Players who are good at glitching the paraglider's speed with Tulin's Sage Ability may be able to make it to the end without having to build anything.
How To Get The Apogek Shrine Chest
The Chest in Apogek Shrine is found in the second room with the three downward-facing ramps that point to the end. After taking the Fans upward, look to the left, where there should be a Chest barely visible on top of a small series of platforms. Take one of the Wing devices, use Ultrahand to lift it into the air next to the Chest's platform, then bring it back down. Climb on top of the wing, use Recall to lift it back up, and jump off to find a Strong Zonaite Spear inside the Apogek Shrine chest.
