If you have invested some time Tears of the Kingdom, then you’ve probably come across one or two shrines that didn’t make much sense at first glance. They’ve done Ultrahanded and Fusion to no avail, so they turned to the internet to look for answers. The Jiukoum Built For Rails Shrine is one of the harder shrines, but the solution is actually pretty simple. Regardless, players come up with all sorts of clever workarounds, proving that you don’t always have to play by the rules in this game.
Fortunately, the versatile, playful nature of DeadKBecause of the objects and physics, there’s usually more than one solution to a given problem – and players have come up with all sorts of wild and unpredictable ways to do it, often sharing them on social media. Built for Rails Jiukoum Shrine features sliding platforms on rails with twists and turns that clearly require a crafting solution, but it’s not entirely clear how to go about it at first.

Built For Rails is a clever shrine, but it can get pretty confusing if you haven’t played around with Rails too much. There are three puzzles, each with progressively more complex track sets that require you to build an effective “car” using platforms to drive on.
We’ll get into the easier, and probably intended, route through this shrine in a moment. First, here are some ways players are dealing with it.
The first two challenges of the shrine are pretty easy, but the last part with the rising slope and wide curve is the most puzzling. But as Jakey Boi points out on Twitter, there you don’t even have to bother building your little mini train, as long as you just build a tower, climb up through it, use a little recall and some aerodynamics, and then just glide to the finish.
_012was_taken on Reddit shows a similar trick Using Recall to ride on an elevated platform.
However, Chadovsky on TikTok shows that simply saving all the panels is another way to gain the height needed to just glide (and then surf) to the finish line.
Sentient Broccoli on TikTok also shows that the final challenge doesn’t even need to worry about platforms. Just glue some compartments together.
Pigginteabreak on TikTok shows that if you do a bomb ollie with a bomb flower fused shield and just a little bit of height, you’ll have the height you need – and look cool doing it.
Okay, but maybe these are all too fancy for you and you just want to clear this shrine normally. Find out how to do it.

Maybe you just like to do things the easy way. Well, luckily for you, visiting Jiukoum Shrine the “normal” way is anything but boring. A bit of trial and error can help you. Note that Recall is very handy for recalling something that slips or slips your mind. But let’s walk through each area step-by-step if you’re really stuck.
The first is a virtual free offer. Merge the two platforms to the left of the first pair of rails so they are long enough to sit on and just zip down (you can also just surf your way down with the shield if you have a shield fused to a wagon or sled). .
The next pair of rails is a bit trickier. Try what you did before with a single platform and you will fall down. The same goes for a simple one [-shaped bracket. Instead, what you need to do is form a shape that looks like three upper-case T’s next to one another (like this: TTT) and place the center vertical panel in between the two rails. The outer two will keep the platform from falling off when you go around the first bend.
Finally, the trickiest, we have two pairs of rails that extend upwards and cut off before a single pair of rails takes over, loops around, and then slopes down to the end. You’ll spot some fans off to one side, and some more panels on the other.
First, make yourself a platform out of the panels that looks like a capital E tilted over, with the prongs facing down. Go ahead and Ultrahand that construction so that the two outer prongs sit in between both pairs of rails at the start of the course.
Then, Ultrahand the three fans off to the side to the platform so they push the platform toward the shrine’s end. Hop on, strike the fans, and if you built the platform correctly, it should take you to the end without much fuss.=
If you built the platform correctly, the middle prong will slot in between the pair of rails that starts just before the big loop.
Tears of the Kingdom’s shrines are a dramatic flex of the game’s physics system. But as we’re seeing, players are flexing back even harder with some clever ways of getting around what the game initially expects you to do. And that the game rewards this kind of behavior makes this one hell of a special experience.
