“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” is the latest game in the iconic Zelda series, and although it’s only a few months old since it was released, numerous fans didn’t hesitate to play it. Considering that Nintendo is responsible for both the publishing and development of the game, the inevitable happened: “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” is available only for Nintendo Switch consoles.
A lot of players had trouble with the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower in the game, as they had to complete a puzzle in order to achieve activation. Surely, the mission can be very challenging if you haven’t tried it before, but gladly, we’re here to help and save the day!
You need to rescue a trapped explorer
If you want to activate the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower in “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,” which is located in the Faron region, the first thing you need to know is that you need to maneuver Link as he saves a trapped explorer. He has what it takes to help you unlock the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower. To begin the activation process, you will have to explore the area that appears in front of the tower until a well appears.
To be more precise, you can find the spot in question south of West Necluda and South West of Hyrule Field, and the exact coordinates are the following: 0604, -2126, 0835.
Once you see the well, you have to jump inside it and knock through a rock wall. At that point, you will find a character who is locked inside after a trap is activated. In order to deliberate this guy, you have to activate a switch that exists on the other side of the bars. The only way to reach it is to use the Ascend ability to head back to the Tower entrance.
The next step is to head south from the tower until you arrive at the very summit. In this area, a cave will exist, which is known as the Pola Foothills Excavation Site. Once you get inside, you have to activate the switch to free the guy who’s trapped. You can do so in two ways, so there’s no use panicking if one of the methods fails. You can simply stand on the switch or place a rock on it. As a reward for your success, you will be given 50 rupees and head back to the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower entrance.
It’s time to ascend back up, and the tower will be activated. That’s all you need to know when it comes to activating the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower.
