Let me tell you about tackling one of Hyrule's stickiest situations in Tears of the Kingdom. As I explored the eastern regions northeast of Lanayru Wetlands, I stumbled upon the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower completely engulfed in this nasty, tar-like sludge. Seriously, it was like the tower decided to take a mud bath and forgot to rinse off! What makes this frustrating is how this gunk completely blocks access to the tower console - no burning, no ultrahanding, no amount of sword slashing makes a dent. But trust me, conquering this challenge unlocks breathtaking views of Zora's Domain and gives you that sweet, sweet map coverage.
Finding the Sludged-Up Tower
Getting here requires some serious climbing skills - those cliffs around coordinates 2857, 0582, 0379 don't mess around! Pro tip: chug some stamina elixirs before attempting this ascent. You'll know you're close when everything turns into a disgusting brown mess. The terrain's slippery enough without the sludge, so watch your footing!
The Sludge Solution
Here's where things get interesting. While staring at this gooey nightmare, I heard whimpering behind me. Turns out, a Zora named Bazz was completely trapped in the muck nearby! After helping him catch his breath, he dropped the golden hint: "Wash it away!" Lightbulb moment!
Three methods worked like magic:
-
Splashfruit Barrage: Grab those green fruits scattered around (hold R + D-pad up to select). Aim at the sludge and... SPLOOSH! Instant cleanup.
-
Hydro Engineering: Attach water ChuChu jelly to arrows for precision cleaning
-
Sidon's Blessing: If you've got the Zora prince's water slash ability, show that sludge who's boss!
Honestly, my favorite trick was using Hydrant Zonai devices - watching that sludge melt away never gets old! Once cleared, that tower console is all yours for fast travel unlocking.
