How to Unlock Popla Foothills Skyview Tower

This guide shows how to unlock the Popla Foothills Skyview Tower in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game, released on 12th May 2023. The location of Popla Foothills Skyview Tower is shown in the pictures below. You can enter the tower but you will find that the console inside is not working and the tower cannot be activated.

Jump inside the well in front of the tower as shown in the picture below.

There you will find a rock wall as shown in the picture below. Attach a sword with a boulder there to make a hammer. Then use the hammer to break the rocks. Proceed ahead and talk with the NPC named Elmerson behind the bars as shown in the second picture below. He will ask you to free him.

Use the ascend ability to go back up. Then go behind the tower and jump down the cliff as shown in the picture below. Now turn around and enter the cave as shown in the second picture below.

Stand on the pressure plate inside the cave as shown in the picture below. This will open the iron gate, releasing Elmerson. Now use the ascend ability to go back up. Then enter the tower and you will be able to activate it now.
