Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Makasura Shrine Location
The Makasura shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is located in the village of Kakariko at the coordinates 1770, -1050, 0166.
The easiest way to reach this shrine is to use Ascend under the wooden platforms just south of the General Store. You’ll need to do this four different times under four different wooden platforms until you’re near the shrine.
Makasura Shrine puzzle solution in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Your first task to solve the Upright Device puzzle in Makasura Shrine in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is to use Ascend on the platform right in front of you, so you can reach the next level.

Next, hit the stabilizer connected to the metal grid to make it stand upright. We also recommend using Ultrahand to move the metal grate, stabilizer attached, as close to the edge of the ledge as possible, as this will help you successfully complete the next step.
This step involves using Ascend to reach the top of the metal grate and, from there, paragliding to reach the next section of the shrine.

First, you need to hit the stabilizer attached to the nearby metal grid. We recommend that you press down on the stabilizer first, as this will make it easier to position the metal grid.
Once he is standing, position the metal grid against the wall of bars that separate you from the small ball. When the grid is in the right place, use Ascend under it and, when you can, jump to the other side.
Now, on the other side of the bars, the first thing to do is to connect the stabilizer to the metal grid with the small basket. After attaching it, we recommend that you give it a try to make sure the stabilizer is attached exactly where you want it. Don’t forget to turn it off afterwards! You also need to make sure the basket is facing the right way.
When you’re ready, place the ball in the basket, then press down on the stabilizer to send the ball over the wall of bars! It’s a good idea to use an arrow when activating the Stablizier, so Link doesn’t accidentally block the metal grate from standing upright.
Once done, use Ascend to reach the other side of the metal bars.
How to Get the Makasura Shrine Chest
Before completing Makasura Shrine, however, take the time to open the chest hidden inside. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to get.
To do this, while standing on the small platform above the wall with the metal bars, move the metal crate with a small ledge, above these bars.
Then jump into that area and move the grid so it’s close to the back wall of that small area. Now all you have to do is use Ascend, jump to the ledge, and open the chest, which contains a Fairy Tonic.
Don’t forget to replace the piece of metal grating in the main section of this part of the shrine!

To complete the Makasura shrine, you need to position the metal grate with the ledge near the gap between you and the end of the shrine. We recommend that you turn off the stabilizer first, so that it does not accidentally fall off.
Next, use Ultrahand to move the metal grate that has a small basket over the previous grate piece. Attack it at the edge of the metal grate ledge in a manner similar to the screenshot below:
Now jump into the basket yourself and from there hit the stabilizer with an arrow.
This will send you shooting through the void, and you can use the Paraglier to make sure you get to the other side safely.
