1. Pick Up the Flashlight

Enter the dark room and pick up the flashlight to your right. You'll see it glow so it should be fairly easy to see.

You'll be bringing this flashlight everywhere as you explore the shrine so always keep it close to you.

2. Enter the Hallway to Your Left

Use your flashlight to shine a light on the left side of the room, then enter the hallway.

If you have Brightbloom Seeds, you can throw them in the dark areas of the shrine to make it brighter.

3. Turn Right and Get an Amber from a Chest

From the left hallway, turn right and activate your Ultrahand to remove the square piece of block from the right wall. You can then use the block as stairs so you can reach the hidden chest containing an Amber.

4. Ascend on the Ledge

Continue forward and you'll see spikes on the wall ahead. Turn left and look above to find a ledge on the leftside wall. Use Ascend to get to the other side of the ledge above you.

5. Keep Walking Until You See a Bright Room

Next, keep walking across the ledge until you see a bright room to your left. Enter it and open the chest inside to get a Zonaite Bow.

6. Drop Down and Enter the Middle Hallway

Exit the room and go back to where the ledge is. Drop down from the ledge and enter the hallway near the middle of the ledge.

7. Open the Chest at the End of the Hallway

Continue exploring the hallway and open the chest at the end to get a Luminous Stone.

Be careful of the spikes from the left and right side of the wall!

8. Go Back to the Entrance of the Hallway

After getting the Luminous Stone, go back to the entrance of the hallway, then turn right.

9. Turn Right Again

Once you reach the end of the hallway, turn right again. You'll know you're going the right way when you find spikes on the right side of the wall of the hallway.

10. Use Ultrahand to Lift the Block at the End of the Hallway

When you reach the end of the hallway, activate your Ultrahand to lift the block from the floor. Open the chest underneath to get a Small Key.

11. Go Back to the Entrance of the Hallway

After getting the Small Key, return to the entrance of the hallway you're in and continue forward to the bigger hallway. You'll know you're on the right path when you see two big spikes on both the right and left side of the wall.

12. Turn Left then Right to Where the Lasers Are

After getting past the big spikes, turn left then enter the hallway to you right where the lasers are.

13. Make Your Way Through the Laser

Continue down the hallway while avoiding the lasers, then get the chest at the end of the hallway to get an Opal.

14. Go Back to the Lasers Then Make Two Rights

Finally, make your way through the lasers again. When you reach the end of the hallway, turn right. Make another right and continue walking until you're back at the entrance of the shrine.
