List of Contents
To reach the Source of Spring Shrine, players will need to take an elevator down into the underground. Once the elevator stops descending, proceed further into the shrine.
Before solving the shrine's puzzle, enter Morph Ball mode and roll under the water coming from the left-most drain to find a side tunnel that leads to a Missile Expansion.

Then, to solve the Source of Spring's puzzle, you will need to use the Ice Shot to freeze the left and right drains. This will cause the water to flow out of the middle drain, pushing down the obstacle and revealing a door.
Unlock the door and proceed through it to claim the shrine's reward.
