How to unlock Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

It’s time to fix an elevator!

Unlocking the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower will add the Gerudo Desert and some of its surrounding mountains to your map in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Like most of the Skyview Towers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Gerudo Desert Skyview Tower isn’t working properly when you arrive. You can’t, however, fix it yourself, so, instead, you need to help the person who can reach the tower.

Below you’ll learn how to unlock the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, along with this Skyview Tower’s location.

Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

The Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower is located atop a mountain on the edge of the desert at the coordinates -2432, -2178, 0307 in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. If you’re following the road leading from Hyrule Field to the Gerudo Desert, you should be able to see the tower looming above you.

Reaching this Skyview Tower does, of course, involve a lot of climbing and, while the exact route you take depends on which side you decide to approach it by, Ascend can help you jump through the wooden platforms and some of the rocky outcrops.

How to unlock Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

The Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower, like many of the other Skyview Towers in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, has a problem which needs fixing before you can activate it. Though Link isn’t capable of fixing it himself. Instead, you need to help Sawson reach the tower but, sadly, the elevator he needs to reach the tower is also broken.

To bring Sawson up to the tower, you need to use Ultrahand to attach three metal crates to the right-hand weight on the elevator.

After doing so, the elevator will start working again and will automatically bring Sawson up from the ground below. Now you just need to sit back and watch him fix the tower for you!
