Kurakat Shrine is a Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Kurakat Shrine is a blessing Shrine, one that contains no further puzzles that you'll only be able to access after completing its corresponding Shrine Quest, this one being the quest "Dyeing to Find It". Shrines are mini-dungeons, housing quick trials such as puzzles or short enemy encounters. Once a Shrine has been completed, the player obtains a Light of Blessing, an item key to obtaining more Heart Containers and Stamina Vessels, and the Shrine is unlocked as a Fast Travel point. Like other Shrines, if the Shrine has not been completed but has been activated, it will be marked in both blue and orange on the map. It will still be available for fast travel so that can players return and complete the Shrine at a later time. However, if discovered but not activated, the Shrine will remain completely orange on the map, and will not allow the player to fast travel to it.

Kurakat Shrine Guide
Reaching Kurakat Shrine
The Kurakat Shrine is located near the southwest area of the Lanayru region, closer to its central area. Once activated, it sits atop a concrete structure along the edges of Quatta’s Shelf, in the Lanayru Great Spring. The best way to find the shrine is by speaking to the Steward Construct in the area. You’ll find it by heading to the Sahasra Slope Skyview Tower, launching up, and then gliding to the northeast. Once you get to Quatta’s Shelf, head to its northeastern edge to find some structures that don’t look like natural rock formations. You should be able to find the Steward Construct on top of them.
Completing Kurakat Shrine
Speaking to the Steward Construct will begin the Shrine Quest Dyeing to Find It. For a foolproof way of completing this Shrine Quest, light the bonfire nearby with any fire-empowered attack and Sit by it until morning. If you look to the west there should be a white marking on the wall below you by the crevice. It matches the tall structure near you a little bit. Your goal is to cover that white marking completely with the structure’s shadow. Rotate the lever near you until the shadow mostly matches the shape of the marking. For the small part jutting out of the left side, use Ultrahand to insert a nearby plank into a slit on the corresponding side of the structure. If the shape already matches but the shadow seems to have moved too far to the right, just Sit by the fire until morning again. Matching them perfectly will complete the Shrine Quest, make the shrine finally appear across the structure, and allow you entry.
Inside will be a chest containing a Magic Scepter. Head up the stairs and examine the green runes to obtain a Light of Blessing and unlock Kurakat Shrine on your map for Fast Travel.
