Akkala Citadel Ruins

The Akkala Citadel Ruins are a location found in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and are the remains of the once glorious Akkala Citadel.

Breath of the Wild

The citadel now contains three Guardian Skywatchers guarding the path leading up to Akkala Tower; therefore it is highly recommended to have Ancient Arrows to explore this area. South of the tower lies a Blue Hinox miniboss; the south side also happens to be the least defended portion of the tower. Near the Akkala Tower, there is a giant Pool of Malice, so be sure to make sure you don't fall. The tower itself is also covered with malice, making it extremely hard to climb up, on top of the fact that the region is known for being rainy, further hampering climbing attempts. Using Revali's Gale should get you far up the tower however, and then you should be clear of the malice.

History

It is said that the Citadel served as a “Last Stand” for Hyrule. This place was where the last battle of the fight against Calamity Ganon's Guardians took place.

Tears of the Kingdom

The Akkala Citadel Ruins can be found on the high plateau at the top of the hill. The area is filled with ruins and overgrown wildlife. A dangerous Gloom Spawn can be found atop of the ruins. Fortunately, Link can climb up some of the ruins and stay out of reach from the hands.

At the center of the area, there is a treasure chest within the ruins that contains a Royal Guard's Spear. Another chest can be found partially buried underground to the west, a bit down the side of the ruins. The chest contains a Royal Broadsword. South of the shrine, there are some cannons. Way down below just beyond the cannons, there is a treasure chest buried in the ground. Link can open it to get a Royal Shield.

Domizuin Shrine
