Wondering how to unlock the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower in Tears of the Kingdom? Although almost all the Skyview Towers in Tears of the Kingdom come with a mini-puzzle before you can activate them, the Ulri Mountain is particularly tricky. An Aerocuda has flown off with the tower’s terminal and the flying beast is skittish, which makes getting up close for a shot difficult.
We’ll outline the easiest way to shoot the pesky beast out of the sky, get back the control panel, and how to unlock the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower in Tears of the Kingdom. If you’re after more towers, check out all the Tears of the Kingdom Skyview Tower locations and the Tears of the Kingdom stable locations to make reaching them all easier.
Tears of the Kingdom Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower location
The Tears of the Kingdom Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower is located in the Akkala Highlands in Akkala at the coordinates 3493, 2019, 0188. You’ll find it tucked away between Kanalet Ridge to the southwest and Ulri Mountain to the northeast.
How to activate the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower
Reaching the tower shouldn’t be too difficult. It’s located northwest of Tarrey Town and is easily visible from most of the Akkala region. Once there you’ll bump in Sawson, who’ll explain that a flying monster called an Aerocuda has stolen the tower’s terminal. You can see the Aerocuda circling in the sky above the tower, but if it spots you it will immediately soar higher making taking it down and retrieving the console challenging. The most efficient way to take the Aerocuda down and unlock the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower in Tears of the Kingdom is to use Link’s Fuse ability to merge a Keese Eyeball to an arrow to make a homing arrow.
If the beast has already spotted you, head inside the tower and wait a few seconds for it to de-aggro Link, then head back outside, tap ZL to target the Aerocuda and quickly fire off the homing arrow, which should hit the beast dead on. After defeating the Aerocuda, head to where it fell and pick up the control panel. Carry it back to the tower and slot it in to unlock the entrance to the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower in Tears of the Kingdom.
That covers how to activate the Ulri Mountain Skyview Tower.
